Main Layer Controls
Solo DSK Layer Controls
FIGURE 159 (TRICASTER 8000 SHOWN)
Let’s consider the individual DSK Layer Controls first, before proceeding to the
slightly more complex main controls.
9.3.1 DSK CONTROLS
Pressing the local Take button for any DSK displays or hides the
corresponding video layer (shown on top of the BKGD layer).
The local Auto buttons perform similarly, but apply the currently
selected transition - that is, the effect represented by the
thumbnail icon shown.
Hint: You can halt an Auto operation partway by clicking the button
again during the transition. For DSK (and M/E KEY layer) transitions,
if the effect has progressed more than halfway when halted, clicking
Auto again will complete it. Otherwise it is reversed, returning the
layer to its prior display state.
CONFIGURING TRANSITIONS
Each DSK has its own transition effect, applied when you click Auto. Click the
transition icon for any DSK control area to reveal a palette of different transitions
provided for quick selection, shown in Figure 161 (4-input models do not require
this control).
