NewTek TriCaster 300 - Manual (Page 216)

The local network is the means of transmission between units, and a wireless connection from
the player to the network is perfectly acceptable. Typically, the target device for AirPlay might
be a television display or set of speakers, but in this case, your TriCaster™ is the beneficiary. It
basically works as follows:

You select the AirPlay entry in the Source menu for the Net input just as you would
select an iVGA or LiveText source. (Unlike iVGA, embedded audio, with level control, is
supported.)

TriCaster™ identifies itself as a network client for AirPlay apps/applications.

You can then designate TriCaster™ as the output device for content played on the
device.

AirPlay streams audio, video or both from the device to the local network, and on to
TriCaster™.

The AirPlay output is available just like any other TriCaster™ Switcher source.
Consider just a few of the countless possibilities: Use your iPad as a touch-driven external
(wireless) DDR, or capture video or snapshots on your iPhone, and instantly stream this content
to the TriCaster™.
Note: Please see Appendix A, Section A.1.9 for more on Airplay connections.
14.3 LIVETEXT
As we noted in the Walkthrough chapter (Section 4.5.2) a
companion workstation on your TriCaster™ network with
LiveText™ standalone installed serves as a dedicated CG
and title solution for your live presentations.
When running and connected, LiveText will be listed in
TriCaster’s Network input drop-down menus, similar to
an iVGA source.
For more information on installing and using LiveText,
please refer to its manual.
