The video format (Resolution) for Output 1 always matches the current TriCaster
session format, so its menu is locked. For Output 2, though, the Resolution menu
allows you to independently configure the format.

Hint: Multiview, a versatile external display intended primarily for control room monitoring,
is configured in TriCaster’s Dashboard (click the Workspace menu).
It’s worth mentioning that, for TriCasters with analog outputs, SD formats offer
different Analog Out options than HD. HD is always presented on SDI and
Component connectors, but in addition to these, Composite and Y/C connections are
still in common use for SD.
Composite and Y/C can even be used simultaneously, allowing three different
devices to be connected to outputs in one row for SD output formats – one digital
(SDI) connection along with two analog connections (see the example at right).
SECTION 3.12 CONFIGURE VIDEO INPUTS
Control over settings for video sources is provided in TriCaster’s monitoring section.
The individual monitor viewports on the Live Desktop can be flexibly assigned to
show different video sources. Complete monitor layouts can be prepared, stored and
recalled using tools located in the Workspace menu in the Dashboard.
We’ll look into that in depth in the Reference Section of this manual, but for now let’s
configure the video sources you connected earlier (Section 3.5.1).
1. Click Workspace in the Dashboard (at the top of TriCaster’s Live Desktop).
2. TriCaster 8000 presents four monitoring layout presets are listed at the top
of the menu as Interface A through D. Select Interface A, if it isn’t already
check-marked.
3. Otherwise (all other models), select All in this menu.
