Hint: Frame buffer files are stored using the popular 32 bit PNG (Portable network Graphics)
image format. The specific file associated with any Frame Buffer is easily identified by its unique
name – overlay_1.png, virtual_input_1.png, etc
This allows Frame Buffer files to be individually updated across a network using any suitable
graphics application or method. When you save the edited image, the remote copy (on the
TriCaster) is immediately updated – even if it is currently displayed live. This allows you to
refresh an overlay virtually instantly using your graphics software of choice from any computer
with a network connection.
TriCaster automatically presents the current session’s Frame Buffer folder using the network
share name “Frame Buffer”.
Note: This special share name assignment is dynamic. It is automatically updated whenever you
enter a session with network sharing enabled, to ensure that applications on the remote system
can access and update Frame
Buffer graphics for the current (or most recent) TriCaster session.
10.4 EDITING TITLE PAGES
On mouse-over, title page icons display a configuration (gear) icon in their lower-right corner.
Clicking this button (or selecting
Edit Title in the icon context menu) opens the pop-up Title Page
Editor .
Title Page content can be edited during both play and display (changes are detected and shown
immediately). Opening the pop-up Title Page Editor during playback is permitted. The panel can
be re-sized by dragging its lower-right corner, and re-positioned by dragging its titlebar.
When you move the mouse over text in the Title Page Editor’s preview pane, a white bounding-
box appears. If you click once inside the box it turns yellow, indicating the text object is selected.
If you begin editing the text by pressing a character on your keyboard, a text edit field opens
(alternatively, double-click to open the text entry field). Press
Enter or click outside the box to
complete the operation.
