TriCaster’s Stream to Internet pane beforehand, of course.)
WRITE TO DISK
Again, the Write to Disk option allows you to archive the live stream as either a .wmv file

format appropriate for the Push profile you select.

Click the Browse *…+ button beforehand, to choose where you wish TriCaster to save the
resulting file.
NOTE: If the Write to Disk option is chosen, it’s important to remember to turn off the Stream

11.6 PRODUCTION AND CAPTURE CONSIDERATIONS
If you’re not intent on live streaming, but wish to capture a live switching session, you would
likely record at full resolution using the Record Output button (rather than using the Write to
Disk function in TriCaster’s Stream to Internet area.)
The high quality captured files can then be used later in TriCaster’s DDR’s, edited in Edit Media,
or even be transferred to another computer (even on a different platform) for external
processing or editing.
Hint: use an external hard drive to transfer the files, or simply transfer them over a network.
You can always convert these files to a streaming file format later if you wish to supply them for
on demand viewing over the Internet. This lets you retain best quality right through to final
