The Home page of 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.
After creating a session (or opening an existing one), you are taken to the Sessions page. Here
you can launch the Live Desktop (for live production), or perhaps choose to Edit , prepare
Graphics (title pages) , or Manage content from the icon ring.
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. However, 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.
