TriCaster’s Background layer effectively comprises the program output before any
DSKs or FTB are considered. When the BKGD delegate button is selected alone, a
TAKE swaps the source selected on the PREVIEW row for the one shown on the
PROGRAM row.
If one or more DSKs is selected along with the BKGD delegate button, the display
state for the delegated DSK(s) will be affected as well. Depending on their current
status, this may bring them into view, or remove them from program output. This
allows you to simultaneously hide one DSK (such as a title page) while revealing
another, even as you bring in a new BKGD source. Or you can display and hide both
DSK channels in tandem.
SHIFT FUNCTIONS
The SHIFT key provides access to certain special features in connection with
transitions as follows:
 SHIFT + AUTO: Reverse direction to fully remove or display delegated video
sources left partially displayed by an incomplete prior transition.
 SHIFT + BKGD (TRANSITION DELEGATE): Perform an immediate BKGD TAKE.
 SHIFT + DSK 1 (TRANSITION DELEGATE): Perform an immediate DSK 1 TAKE.
 SHIFT + DSK 2 (TRANSITION DELEGATE): Perform an immediate DSK 2 TAKE.
 SHIFT + FTB (TRANSITION DELEGATE): Perform an immediate FTB TAKE.
ALT FUNCTIONS
When pressed with either TAKE or AUTO buttons, display of the currently delegated
Virtual Input's Overlay will be transitioned on or off. (If a Virtual Input is not
selected in the Switcher Delegate button group, ALT is ignored).
SELECT AND RATE
These two buttons are also governed by the delegate buttons above. Select BKGD
and twist the appropriate knob to select a different BKGD transition from the
onscreen bin, or to change its rate.
