4.6.2 APPLE AIRPLAY®
See Section 16.2 for details on using devices and applications supporting Apple
AirPlay as network sources for TriCaster.
4.6.3 LIVETEXT™
NewTek’s (optional) standalone LiveText application offers features that are very
similar to TriCaster’s integrated LiveText (see Chapter 21 LiveText™ and
SpeedEDIT™), but installs separately on a compatible Windows® computer.
A (networked) LiveText workstation effectively constitutes a dedicated CG and title
solution for TriCaster presentations. (This is a wonderful addition for those times
when you could really use another pair of hands.)
When running on the network connected computer, LiveText is listed in the Network
selection drop-down menus (just as an iVGA source would be).
Select LiveText (and clicking the Live button in LiveText) provides the current title
page in LiveText to the Network buttons on TriCaster’s Switcher, M/Es or DSK
channels.
SECTION 4.7 LIVE SWITCHING
Back in Chapter 3 (Setting Up), you connected cameras to inputs on TriCaster’s
backplate and configured them. If you haven’t already done so, let’s explore basic
Switcher operations.
4.7.1 SWITCHER ROWS
The main Switcher features 2 rows of buttons labeled
Program and Preview. Each button on a Switcher row
represents one of the many and varied video sources
available.
