PERFORMING TRANSITIONS
Just as in the user interface, the TriCaster control surface provides both local and
main transition controls.
MAIN T-BAR, TAKE AND AUTO
These controls correspond exactly to their Live Desktop counterparts, and affect all
currently delegated video layers (BKGD, DSK 1-4, or FTB) at the same time.
LOCAL TAKE & AUTO
Local Take and Auto buttons are provided for DSK 1 - DSK 4 (but not FTB). These
perform a cut or transition respectively, affecting only the corresponding switcher
layer.
Hint: When a DSK layer is fully displayed on Program out, its local Take button (on the
Live Desktop as well as the control surface) remains lit.
22.3.4 M/E CONTROLS
FIGURE 334
This section of the control surface corresponds to the tabbed M/E pane on the Live
Desktop. The M/E DELEGATE button group determines which M/E (from the eight
available) is being controlled.
M/E DELEGATE
As you’d expect, the eight buttons in the M/E
DELEGATE group (Figure 335) let you select (or
multi-select) which M/E(s) are being controlled.
