Chapter 10 MONITORING YOUR VIDEO
The word “monitor” comes from the Latin “monēre” – meaning ‘to warn’. The word has taken on additional meaning since Roman times. As a verb, these include such connotations as ‘keeping an eye’ on something, and ‘checking continually’. As a noun, we understand it to mean devices that permit one to do just that. |
As you would expect, TriCaster™ provides extensive and versatile monitoring – just what is needed to control your live productions. Monitoring features can also warn you of conditions that might affect output quality, as well as providing access to adjustments providing quality control and creative alternatives.
Among others you will find Proc Amp, LiveMatte, Hotspot, Tracking (TriCaster 8000 only) and Crop controls. (To give some of these features the attention due, they are treated individually in Chapter 8, I/O Configuration, and elsewhere. Likewise, network inputs are discussed in Chapter 16, Network Inputs.)
