8 TRICASTER™ LC-11
TriCaster™ LC-11 is designed to augment the SD model TriCaster™
lineup, but has been adapted for service with NewTek’s TriCaster™
live production systems as well.
In this chapter we will detail how TriCaster™ LC-11™ control surface
provides functionality for TriCaster™ Studio, Broadcast, or one of
Newtek’s family of HD live production systems.
8.1 OVERVIEW
The LC-11™ external control surface hosts a bevy of convenient and important buttons and
controls. This chapter explains each button and control in turn. It discloses their functions and
their relationship to various components of your NewTek live production suite.
In large measure, LC-11 physically replicates the Switcher and related controls of your NewTek
live production system. (This is no great surprise, since the virtual controls in the interface were
cleverly designed to mimic the appearance and behavior of familiar live production equipment.)
LC-11’s controls primarily fall into three groups, each corresponding to specific software
modules. The various buttons, knobs, etc., provide tactile control over their virtual counterparts.
(In addition, the upper-right corner boasts two joysticks, discussed separately.)
8.1.1 LC-11 VARIANTS
To support various NewTek live production systems, LC-11 currently ships in more than one
configuration.
You may have purchased LC-11 for use with an SD–only model TriCaster (or VT[5]™). On the
other hand, perhaps your control surface will be connected to an HD model TriCaster. The
button caps installed on your unit may differ accordingly.
