Note: Flash streaming does not support Pull type connections. The Windows Media Encoder on
your TriCaster supports Windows Media 11 and VC1 presets. VC1 is the video standard for HD

applications.

Once you begin (Pull) streaming, TriCaster displays the system’s IP (Internet Protocol) address of
your computer on the network. This information will be provided as ‘punctuated’ numeric value
in the Location display field.

You can then drag the mouse over this address to highlight it, press Ctrl-c to copy it and send this
address* to your customers or streaming provider. Your TriCaster program stream will go
