Hello everyone Richard Evans from NewTek here
with another remote production tools video
and in one of my previous videos I've showed how you can use
the TriCaster to place a skype call
so that you can embed in remote callers directly into your broadcasts.
There's another feature within the TriCaster that lets you send
and audio signal to your callers without it showing up in your production.
So that way you can make different notes etc. to your callers before you take their particular source live.
so let's go ahead and get to it and show you how it's done.
Alright so here we are in the TriCaster TC-1 interface
and the first thing I want to draw your attention to is
at the bottom of the screen in our audio mixer
next to all of our inputs
and in between our media players
we see a tab here for our talk back audio.
Now what this is going to allow you to do is select any audio source
coming into the TriCaster either being one of the physical
inputs on the unit itself or an NDI source
and then assign that to the
audio that you'll be sending to your Skype caller.
So it's automatic audio mix minus
you don't have to set up any audio routing this is already set up for you.
so now again just a reminder whenever you are doing your Skype calls
what's going to end up happening is by default
the SkypeTX caller will receive your Mix one output.
so whatever you have on your Mix one output is what's going to be heard in your callers ear.
So in this particular example my Mix number one is getting my program video and my master audio.
But when I have a source assigned in here I can then
switch it over to this feature here that I'm about to show you.
ok so let's go into input number two here
and on my source drop down let's select my SkypeTX caller number one.
alright now I'm not going to bother anybody with a Skype call right now but
in my previous videos that's where we had our Skype call coming in
and if we look at the very bottom of the screen input number two
now you'll see a few changes here to that particular audio channel.
so now I have a Skype icon next to it and all that really means is that
it's identifying that this is a Skype caller that will also receive
the talk back audio when we press this button here at the bottom
which is talk. So whenever I click on that what that will allow me to do
is it will switch the audio over from my master audio
and bring in the audio from whatever I have assigned over here on my talkback.
So that way you can tell your caller you know if they need to adjust their tie or something
if they need to kick a cat out of the room or something like that
you will be able to communicate with your caller without having to
have that audio appear in your master audio.
So let's go ahead and show you how to do that.
so let's go into talk back and click on this gear icon here.
and click on this drop down
and again if I go to my local sources I can plug in
like an XLR into input number one.
or my quarter inch inputs into two three or four here on the TC-1.
But you can also select any audio source broadcasting over NDI.
so right now you'll see that I have over in input number ten
I have my volcano eruption going on.
and I currently have that muted so that it's not appearing in my master audio.
But I'm going to go ahead and select that source for my connection for my talk back.
alright and that's going to be coming from my NC1 I O
and now you'll see that I have the rumble from that volcano going through here.
and it's showing up in my talk back audio VU meters.
But again it's not showing up over in master which is nice.
So now all I have to do is when I make my Skype call I can just go over to my input two
click on talk that will turn blue
and now they're receiving the audio from this talk back channel instead of the
mix one audio coming out of that so a great way for you to
communicate with your Skype caller without having to set up any complex mix minus audio routing. We already built that in for you.
So as you can see this is a pretty cool feature for you to be able to
communicate with your Skype caller without having to have your direction
being sent out all over the place and heard in your broadcast.
