3.11.1 CHANNEL OPTIONS
Let’s review Video source selection first. A drop-down menu by that name permits
you to select sources for TriCaster’s two principal video output streams, referred to
as Output 1 and 2. TriCaster can send other streams to its outputs as well, as
discussed shortly – but the primary out streams are unique in certain respects.
Hint: Either (or both) of the a/v streams assigned to Outputs 1 and 2 are available for
assignment to TriCaster’s other outputs as well, by means of the Follow 1 and Follow 2
items in the respecitve source menus.
