The number of sources available in NDI-enabled TriCasters is so extensive that sources are arranged in two
banks, just as in the onscreen user interface. In this arrangement, each button does double duty, depending
on which bank is currently being controlled.
FIGURE 21-22
In the user interface, Bank 1 is shown by default. Holding down Alt on the keyboard reveals Bank 2 (Figure
21-2). As neither 860 CS nor 460 CS have ALT buttons, hold down SHIFT on the control surface to access
the sources available in its second bank.
Note: By default, however, CS input labels have been respected (wherever possible), which means that the
CS banks inevitably differ from those shown onscreen.

Switcher source buttons are mutually exclusive. In the user interface, the main Switcher (and M/Es with
transition effects assigned) are able to show ‘selection hints’ beneath their rows when the active selection is
in the opposite bank. On the control surface, however, no button is lit when the active selection is not in the
currently controlled bank.
Hint: Hold down CTRL when clicking a button on the PREVIEW row to toggle LiveMatte on/off for that
source. Note that the source need not be actually selected on the PREVIEW row to do this.

UTIL row buttons are also mutually exclusive. Their subordinate role is subtly reinforced by the use of
slightly smaller buttons. Broadly speaking, source options conform to Program and Preview row mapping by
product, with some limitations due to the number of buttons available on the surface.
