FADE & TRANS
These two buttons provide a quick way to control the Transition Bin selection for the
delegated switcher layer(s).
The FADE and TRANS (Transition) buttons are mutually exclusive; selecting either one
cancels the other, and only the currently active button remains lit.
Pushing FADE offers a quick and convenient way to select the Crossfade transition.
Push the TRANS button to activate the last-used transition icons for a video layer (or
layers. For new sessions, TRANS jumps to the first transition in the bin.
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.
3.2.5 M/E CONTROLS
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.
