However, the standard mapping of busses to outputs can also be modified to suit your
specific needs – See Section 8.1, Output Configuration (Figure 261).
SUB-MIXES AND ‘MIX MINUS’
At times you may require specially configured audio mixes, typically using one of
TriCaster’s two stereo Aux audio outputs. For instance – some installations call for
sending audio from one or more internal sources (such as a DDR or the Sounds player)
to a secondary distribution system.
Alternatively, you may want a ‘clean’ output from one or more sources for use apart
from the main primary output mix.
Specialized sub-mixes are often referred to as ‘mix-minus,’ since one or more sources
are deliberately subtracted from the main program. Mix-minus capabilities can be
invaluable for productions like ‘phone-in’ shows. The remote caller needs to be able
to hear the interviewer; but if you simply send the primary mix back to him, he is
forced to endure a late-arriving echo of his own voice. Needless to say, this would be
confusing and undesirable.
Suppose your interviewer is speaking into a microphone connected to Input 1. The
audio from your interviewee is routed into Input 2.
1. For Input 1, enable both the Master 1 and Master 2 switches under Routing in
the Audio Configuration panel.
