Use any of the hundreds of transitions supplied to reveal either Background or DSK/Key channels
with animated wipes, trajectories and dissolves, or select colorful and dynamic Animation Store
transitions with overlays, sound and TransWarp™ effects.

Create an unlimited number of custom transition effects with embedded sounds, dynamic cloth
effects, and full color overlays using the integrated Animation Store Creator application.

Create eye-popping animated graphics using your favorite software (such as Adobe After Effects
®
),
and convert them to colorful *animated Buffer effects that you can display on demand – without tying
up a Media Player.

buttons.

TriCaster’s DSK layers support downstream overlays (M/E Key serve as upstream overlays – that is, ahead of
the main Switcher). Some TriCaster models offer two DSKs, while TriCaster 8000, 860 and 460 have four.

Display DSK channels independently, and swap them during a switch with custom transitions.
 Use TriCaster’s numerous Media Players to overlay title pages, including scrolls, crawls and lower-
thirds, or assign a Camera feed or Network source to an overlay channel.

Alternatively, use the Buffer channels to assign a specific title, still image or animation effect to any
overlay channel.
 Independent Crop, Position, 3D Rotation, and Scale controls for each DSK channel permit you (for
example) to configure multiple sources as ‘Picture in Picture’ elements, revealing them with
individual custom effects.
