TRANSITIONS
The transition control group offers familiar controls,
including a T-Bar, transition selector and timing knobs, along
with AUTO and TAKE buttons. These are all governed by
delegates, as discussed earlier.
The TRANSITION DELEGATE buttons include BKGD, DSK 1,
DSK 2 buttons (FTB, as mentioned earlier, is an action button,
and requires ALT to be pressed with it for safety). These can
be multi-selected, and govern which video layers are affected
by operations performed with the SELECT and RATE knobs,
AUTO and TAKE buttons, and the T-Bar.
TriCaster’s Background layer effectively comprises the
program output before any DSKs (or M/E KEY) layers or FTB
are considered.
When MAIN is selected in the SWITCHER DELEGATE group and the BKGD delegate
button is selected alone, a TAKE swaps the source selected on the PREVIEW row
for the one shown on the PROGRAM row. M/E selections in the SWITCHER DELEGATE group will cause
transition controls to operate similarly on their respective targets.
If one or more DSKs is selected along with the BKGD delegate button, the display state for the delegated DSK
or KEY layer(s) will be affected as well. Depending on their current status, this may bring them into view, or
remove them from view. This allows you, for example, to simultaneously hide one DSK (such as a title page)
while revealing another, even as you bring in a new BKGD source.
