THE LIVE DESKTOP
Initially, as you have yet to configure input devices or add content, the Live Desktop will look a bit
barren (Figure 17).

Take a quick look around, but then let’s continue to configure your devices. (We had a brief
glimpse at the Live Desktop back in section 2.3, but we’ll examine it more closely in Chapter 4,
Live Production – coming up soon.)
3.8 CONFIGURE VIDEO OUTPUT
TriCaster™ provides complete video input monitoring right on the Live Desktop. This allows you
to operate it without even connecting downstream video monitors or devices. You might do just
that in the case of productions intended primarily for live streaming.
In other cases, however, you will likely connect external monitors to the VIDEO OUT connectors
on TriCaster’s front. High definition video monitors should be connected to either SDI or
Component connections.
