17.1.3 IEEE1394 I/O OUTPUT
The realtime IEE1394 (DV/HDV) preview found in SpeedEDIT standalone is not supported for
TriCaster, which has other (superior) video display options. However, the
File menu point Send
to DV Tape (and the similar icon context menu in the Filebin ) is available.
Hint: SpeedEDIT’s Output menu is not required in TriCaster for this reason.
17.1.4 SPEEDDIT DESKTOP
TriCaster launches SpeedEDIT on a desktop of its own, spanning all connected monitors. You can
exit SpeedEDIT by clicking the [x] button in the upper-right corner of the desktop, or by using the
File men item Close .
If you have a secondary monitor connected to TriCaster, you can drag SpeedEDIT’s Video Output
window (opened from the Window menu) onto that screen, then maximize it by double-clicking
inside the preview area (double-clicking a second time restores the standard floating window).
Similarly, you might find it convenient to maximize the SpeedEDIT window to fill the primary
monitor display. To do this, double-click the window border. In this configuration, the Desktop
exit button is not available, but you can exit the application using the File menu’s
Close item.
17.2 LIVETEXT
LiveText projects are launched from the Session Page in TriCaster’s Startup Screen . After
creating a new session or opening an existing one, click the Graphics icon on the rotating
function selector ring (see Section 5.3). This reveals options and links at right, discussed
previously in the Startup Screen chapter just mentioned.
17.2.1 SESSIONS, PROJECTS AND DISPLAY
LiveText uses the current session settings for output to TCXD300 video outputs, new projects
(created within the LiveText
File menu or from the Session Page ) and bitmap file exports. If you
use the File menu to Open a project whose settings do not correspond to the current session
settings, TriCaster will attempt to display it on its hardware video outputs, if possible.
