Hint: You can set system time just as for any computer, by first exiting to the Windows™ desktop.
OPTIONS
As indicated by the label above, this time value is also used to embed timecode in video files
captured during the session using TriCaster’s
Record function.
For this reason, a switch labeled Subtract 12 Hours From Time is provided. This permits you to
avoid confusion that might arise when sequencing files based on timecode that ‘wraps around’
past midnight. Otherwise, for example, a video frame recorded one minute
before midnight
would be assigned the timecode 23:59:59.00, while frames recorded one minute or more later
would have timecode
≥
01:00:00.00 – seemingly a lower (i.e., ordinarily earlier ) timecode value.
Two more switches, provided under the label Production Time at right, allow you to Indicate
Production Start and End times. Under each of these is an editable time field (click inside the
field to modify the time value).

Several of TriCaster’s Multiview layouts provide Broadcast Clock displays during live production.
The right-hand clock (as well as the Live Desktop titlebar) show the current time.
The second time display shows a useful count-down to the Production Start or End times (as
appropriate) when either the Indicate Production Start or End switches are enabled.
