SECTION 3.1 COMMAND AND CONTROL
1. Connect an external computer monitor to the port labeled Interface on the
backplate of 8-input models. For 4-input rack-mount models, use the DVI
connector nearest to the Video In group for the interface monitor connection.
For TriCaster Mini SDI or Mini, use either port in the group labeled
Interface/Multiview.
Hint: TriCaster’s interface requires a resolution of at least 1600x1050.
