Click the Add button in the header of the Recorders control group to place an additional entry into the list (up
to eight sources in total for 8-input TriCaster models).

VIDEO
A drop-down menu labeled Video lets you choose which video channel will be captured. TriCaster provides
numerous source options. Selecting any Output gives you access to a variety of useful mixed video source
combinations and formats, as defined in Output Configuration.
In addition, most Switcher inputs (other than M/E’s, which can only be captured when visible on an Output)
can be designated as a Video source.
Note that Outputs can be configured to use any single source, too. However when you opt to record an Output,
it may well result in a very different recording than if you directly select the same input as Source in the
Record Configuration panel.
Consider an example:
Perhaps Cam 1 is a 16:9 SD source
Cam 2 is a 720p camera
Cam 3 is 1080i
With Output 2 set (in Output Configuration) to display Cam 1, Cam2 or Cam 3 as 1080i, selecting Output 2
as Source for recording in Record Configuration will always result in a 1080i format file.
By contrast, directly selecting a Camera directly in Record Configuration captures files in the actual source
format of that input (in our example, this would be SD 16:9, 720p, and 1080i respectively), accompanied
by the original sound from matching (‘same number’) audio inputs.
Hint: You can record a given source more than once in Record Configuration, capturing it in multiple resolutions
and formats simultaneously.
AUDIO
Similarly, the Audio menu allows you to select from audio inputs directly (by number), or an audio mix audio
assigned to TriCaster’s Master or Aux busses.
