(Note that if your display hardware declines to work with additions you make to the
menu, the Live Desktop status message display may show an ‘unsupported display
mode’ warning, and the monitor may either revert to the previous mode or simply
not show anything at all.)

NOTE: Changing Output Resolution can cause frames to be dropped briefly. We do not
recommend changing this setting during live production.

Q2: After reconnecting monitors, my Multiview and Interface monitor configuration is
messed up. What can I do?

A: If you disconnect (or power down) and reconnect monitors while on TriCaster’s
Live Desktop, the operating system can have difficulty with monitor recognition and
configuration. To avoid problems, naturally it’s best to leave display devices alone
while live.

In the case of an accidental disconnection, avoid reconnecting both monitors at the
same time. Rather, allow the display on the first monitor connected to stabilize
before connecting the second.

EVICES

Downstream video monitoring devices must be compatible with the video broadcast
standard (such as NTSC or PAL) you intend to use in the TriCaster session.

1. Connect cables between downstream devices (whether monitors or other

devices) and appropriately labeled connectors on TriCaster’s backplate (see
Section 3.8.1).

2. Open a TriCaster session (or create a new one) from the Home Page of the

Startup Screen.

3. Click the Live icon on the Session Page of the Startup Screen, and press Enter

(or click the Start Live Production link).

4. For SD display devices, you may need to adjust the connection options found

in Output Configuration:
