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.
