16.1.3 COMMON FEATURES
Let’s turn our attention to features that may be found in the control panels for any audio source.
MUTE
Figure 184
Click Mute (speaker icon button) to enable or disable output from the source.
FOLLOW
Figure 185
Enabling the Follow switch for an audio source directs TriCaster to track switcher operations for
the related video source. This results in the audio from being muted until the associated video
source is displayed on Program Output (whether as the Switcher’s Program row selection, via
Overlay , or as Input A for a Virtual Input ).
When Follow causes an audio input to be added to TriCaster’s output, the audio from this input
is ramped up (or down, on removal) over 30 frames.
Hint: When Follow is enabled but the corresponding video source is not displayed on Output, the
audio level display on the VU meter is displayed as a grayscale, rather than in full color.
MONO
A Mono switch appears for many Connection Types . When it is enabled, Mono centers audio
sources on both channels 1 and 2.
