Actually, the Send to Frame Buffer function copied the source file and placed it in a special folder
(C:\TriCaster\Effects\Frame Buffer\ session_name\ ). It remains available there – even when the
original file is not only unavailable from the playlist, but has actually been deleted from the hard
drive.
TriCaster TCXD850 provides separate Frame Buffers for each Virtual Input , which can be selected
as Input A , Input B or Overlay source (for their respective Virtual Inputs), and another for the
main Switcher .
Hint: Frame Buffer files can even be individually updated across a network using any suitable
application or method, when “Share Frame Buffer on Network”
is enabled (in the Live Desktop
Options menu, opened by the gear button at right beneath the Transition section of the Switcher).
See Section 10.3 for more information on Frame Buffers.
