and press Enter (or click the Start Live Production link).
3. Click Workspace in the Dashboard at the top of the Live Desktop, and click the
Configure (gear) button that appears above it.

match the native resolution of the external monitor you wish to use.

Q
UESTIONS
:
Q1: Why don’t I see the Multiview monitor resolution I want listed in the Multiview
Resolution menu?
A: Normally the Multiview Resolution menu list is updated using DDC (Display Data
Channel) information the monitor itself provides. In some cases this information
may not be not available (e.g., a monitor switch or adapter might prevent the
available display mode information from being supplied to the operating system).
If you are sure your monitor supports an unlisted mode, you can attempt to add it to
the menu manually by editing an (XML format) configuration file supplied for this
purpose. The file is named multiview_resolutions.xml, and is located in the folder at
C:\TriCaster\Configuration. Comments in the file provide details of its use.
