Disclaimer: If you are upgrading a unit from Standard Edition to Advanced Edition 3, be aware that your previous Standard Edition sessions will not be compatible with Advanced Edition 3. You will need to rebuild the session. All of your media will need to be re-imported to the session using the Import function of the TriCaster located under File in the top left corner of a session. LiveText projects can be copied over from D:\LiveText Projects\SessionName into the new session's folder. All settings will be lost. Additionally, Gain audio settings will be turned on and may need to be turned off.
In order to install Advanced Edition 3 software updates, follow the listed steps:
Download the Update
1) Exit the TriCaster software to view the Windows desktop.
2) Launch Internet Explorer and navigate to https://www.newtek.com/downloads/.
3) Click the download button underneath the Advanced Edition 3 current version number. It will ask for your contact information (first name, last name, email address, and country are all mandatory fields).
Once you fill in the info and click submit, it should say you are now authorized to download updates:
Close that window by clicking the highlighted X and then click the Advanced Edition 3 download button again. If this process does not work, download Chrome or Firefox and try again.
4) When the download is complete, right click the application file and then click Properties. Check the Security section and check the 'Unblock' button if applicable. Hit Apply and then OK.
5) Right click the application again and click, "Run as administrator."
6) The next prompt will give two choices. We recommend selecting Download only. This will save the files to a local location on the system and they can be moved to a different location or removable storage after the install is complete. Click Next.
7) The initial EULA agreement will appear. Click, "I accept the agreement" and then click Next.
8) Select a directory to save the downloaded files to. Click Next.
9) Select the components you wish to download.
