SECTION 3.16 NETWORKING
TriCaster is capable of displaying screens from networked computers running
NewTek’s iVGA™ client software, output from other supported applications (such as
NewTek’s own LiveText™, or the growing number of third-party programs), video
streamed from additional TriCaster or 3Play™ systems on the network, or from
Apple AirPlay®.
Generally, simply connecting a suitable cable from the Ethernet port on TriCaster’s
backplate to your external network is all that is required to add TriCaster to a local
area network (LAN). In some settings, additional steps (beyond those mentioned
when we discussed Microsoft Windows® activation in Section 3.2) may be required.
You can access the system Network and Sharing control panel to accomplish more
extensive configuration tasks – see Settings: Configure Network under the heading
Administrator Mode in Section 5.2.3. If further help connecting is required, please
consult your system administrator.
The next section (Chapter 4 Live Production Walkthrough) will guide you through
your first experience using TriCaster.
