8.2.1 CONNECTION TYPE
The Configuration panel for the Camera inputs features a Connection type menu at the
top of its Input Settings tab. Connection menu options vary depending on the Video
Standard for the session. TriCaster Multi-standard provides PAL and NTSC-J session
options, in addition to NTSC.
The Connection Type menu options for a PAL session list PAL HD and SD format
options. Choosing NTSC as the session Video Standard results in a Connection Type list
with appropriate formats, and it is similar for NTSC-J. Changing from one Video
Standard to another requires opening a new session.
Hint: All connected cameras must conform to the current Video Standard for the session.
