The Startup Screen allows you to define and open sessions, each of which can be customized for
various productions or other purposes. Later, when you re-open a session, all of its assets and
settings are remembered.
Having created a session (or opened an existing one), you proceed to the similar Sessions screen.
Here you can launch the
Live Desktop (for live production), or perhaps choose to Edit , prepare
Graphics (title pages) , or Manage content from the rotating function selector allow.
2.3 LIVE DESKTOP
TriCaster’s live production features are all available from its unique Live Desktop , which in large
measure mimics familiar production equipment. That said, the Live Desktop provides a great
deal more functionality than that of similar single-purpose devices.
The various features, controls and modules comprising TriCaster’s Live Desktop are essentially
laid out in three horizontal bands, as seen in Figure 2.
