SECTION 3.1 COMMAND AND CONTROL
1. Connect an external computer monitor to the DVI port labeled Interface on
the backplate of 8-input models. For 4-input models, use the DVI connector
nearest to the Video In group for the interface monitor connection. (DVI
connectors located at left near the network port are normally capped and
should not be used.)
Hint: TriCaster’s interface requires a resolution of at least 1600x1050.
2. Connect the mouse and keyboard to USB ports on TriCaster.
