The Net 1 and 2 inputs also support a number of different streaming network video source types and protocols, such as RTSP and RTMP, so-called ‘IP cameras’, and more.
The various source types discussed earlier in this chapter, having been designed for the purpose, advertise their availability over the network to TriCaster; this, in turn, allows TriCaster to list them in its source drop-down menus automatically on detection.
This is not the case with video sources of the types listed in the previous paragraph, but with basic address information you can add them to the source menu listing. The Source selection menu for both Net inputs shows the item Add Network Video (Figure 279).
Select this entry to pen the Network Video Configuration
panel (Figure 280). Enter a name for the camera (to help you identify it in the drop- down Source menu later, complete the address field (expand the Examples just below the Address input field for help on syntax), and click Done.
Afterward, the new entry appears in the Source menu (Figure 281) along with any other network sources that have been detected or added manually.
FIGURE 282 Notice that moving the mouse over the new entry in the menu adds two control gadgets. The familiar gear icon reopens the Configuration panel, to allow you to edit the details. The small x button removes the entry from the menu. |
