Realistically though, in some settings you may feel the need for protection outweighs the risk. If
you really feel you must install virus protection, switch all of its ‘active scanning’ operations off so
that nothing can occur in the background while TriCaster’s Live Desktop is running.
Anything that provides full-time protection will dramatically reduce memory and disk speed on
your system, so you should disable those features. Then, only when you need to do so (perhaps
on a daily or weekly schedule), perform a manual scan.
Never let scanning continue into a live switching event, and do not assume that you can now
omit pre-checking files and external media for nasty surprises.
Hint: In the unfortunate event that malware ever does evade your defensive measures, you can
always use TriCaster’s Restore TriCaster function to completely rehabilitate your system.)
A.5.6 INSTALL MY FAVORITE SOFTWARE (OR CODEC)?
TriCaster is not a ‘general purpose’ computer. The installed software suite is finely tuned to
provide reliable performance and amazing features. Anything you install apart from official
TriCaster updates places these important goals at risk. Doing so is strongly discouraged.
Regarding codecs, TriCaster supports the vast majority of popular image, audio and video
formats. That said, hardly a day passes without another new one appearing on the scene. If a
file you would like to use does not play back well (or at all), consider converting it to a friendlier
format.
If you feel the format is so popular that TriCaster should support it, please submit the details as a
feature request. (Please also see Section A.3.9 above.)
SUPPLEMENTARY QUESTION:
Q: Can I install the MainConcept AAC Encoder - Plug-In for Adobe® Flash® Media Live Encoder?
A: This is not required.
