8.3.2 SPEED AND FX
Just beneath the Fade and FX buttons are two knobs labeled SPEED and FX . These knobs each
have two distinct functions – one associated with rotation and the other accessed by pressing the
knob (just like a button). The knobs have rotational detents to provide confidence while making
adjustments.
Rotating the SPEED button modifies the duration of the Transition . Pressing it cycles through the
preset speeds ( Slow, Medium and Fast ) .
Twirling the FX knob changes the selected Transition effect, cycling back and forth through the
representative thumbnail icons loaded in TriCaster’s Transition bin .
TRICASTER™ 300, 450, 850, 455 AND 855
For these models only , press LC-11’s FX knob (as though it were a button) to toggle the Reverse
(Transition) switch. Press ALT + FX to toggle the Ping Pong (Transition) switch.
8.3.3 FTB AND ALT
FTB stand for “Fade to Black”. Unlike the two buttons discussed earlier, FTB is an action button;
pressing it does perform a transition, in this case to a computer-generated black background.
There are some exceptions to note, however:

TriCaster™ Studio and Broadcast – when operating in 6-camera mode , these models do
not feature a dedicated Black generator. Instead, FTB uses the background you design
in the system’s internal Color Background tab.

TriCaster™ 300, 455, 450, 855 and 850 – the Fade to Black feature on these models does
not require TriCaster to perform a switch between the sources assigned on Program and
Preview .
Instead, the display on
Program output simply fades to or from black. Note that
TriCaster’s FTB is momentarily delegated during an (LC-11) FTB operation, but does not
remain active when it ends.
