Transferring very large files across
a network can time consuming,
and impacts both disk access and
network resources.
When these resources are already
heavily taxed, dropped frames on
streaming or video outputs, or
sluggish response to controls may
result.
We strongly urge you to gather
media assets before starting your
live productions whenever
possible.
* Normally, pressing Stop a second time when a clip is playing resets the
playhead to the start frame in the same clip. The exception above occurs only
when you are previewing the content of a different MEM slot during playback.
11.2.5 NETWORK SHARING
Default media file folders (Clips, Stills, etc.)
are maintained for each session. This
approach makes it easy to locate items using
the Custom File Browser, and is also
convenient for backup and other file
management purposes.
The default media locations for the active
session can be made accessible across your
local network. Share Media Folders and
Buffers in the File menu is on by default, and
allows network clients to update media in
the active session, even while live. The
following session media locations are
dynamically shared:
 Audio
 Clips
 Stills
 Titles
 Buffers
Note: Several ‘non-session dependent’ locations in the main TriCaster application folder
are also shared. This allows applications such as NewTek’s Virtual Set Editor, etc.,
running on extneral systems to export directly to TriCaster. These network shares are
unnaffected by the Share Media Folders and Buffers setting.
When suitable content is added to these shared folders, TriCaster’s Media Browser
provides immediate access to it. Simply select the session name (under Clips, Stills,
etc.) in the Location List at left to reveal the updated files in the File Pane at right.
