A word about UPS devices:
‘Modified sine wave’ UPS devices are
popular due to low manufacturing
costs. However, such units should
generally be viewed as being of low
quality and possibly inadequate to
fully protect the system from
abnormal power events..
For a modest added cost, consider a
"pure sine wave" UPS. These units can
be relied on to supply very clean
power, eliminating potential
problems, and are recommended for
applications demanding high
reliability.
2. Connect the mouse and keyboard to USB ports on TriCaster.
3. Connect the power cord (or cords, for 8-input models), or – for TriCaster
Mini – the external power supply between the DC Power input connection
on TriCaster’s backplate and an external power receptacle.
4. Turn on the computer monitor.
5. Press the Power switch on TriCaster’s faceplate (located behind the door on
some models).
At this point, the blue Power LED will
illuminate, and the adjacent hard drive
activity light should flicker as the device
boots up. (If this does not happen,
check your connections and retry).
Though not a requirement, we do
strongly recommend that you connect
TriCaster using an uninterruptable
power supply (UPS), as for any ‘mission
critical’ system. Likewise, consider A/C
“power conditioning”, especially in
situations where local power is
unreliable or ‘noisy’.
Surge protection is especially important
in some locales. Power conditioners can
reduce wear on TriCaster’s power
supplies and other electronics, and
provide a further measure of protection
from surges, spikes, lightning and high voltage.
