12.4.2 VIDEO SOURCES
Virtual Inputs provide LiveSet with a new standard of flexibility, allowing you to easily and
flexibly assign inputs from the Virtual Input tab(s), without Switcher involvement*.
*Hint: One special case is when you select FX as a LiveSet input. Conveniently, this allows you to
use the Switcher to change the input without either interfering with other common Switcher
operations or accessing the corresponding Virtual Input tab.
Figure 181
Virtual sets in the LiveSet system display video from either one or two different TriCaster
sources. It will not surprise you that these correspond to Input A and B , the primary video
sources we discussed back in Section 12.1. (Again as you would expect, Input B is often assigned
to secondary purposes, such as to supply the display for a ‘monitor’ in a virtual set.)
12.4.3 ZOOM PRESETS
Unlike earlier LiveSet implementations, LiveSet does not need multiple LiveSets to mimic
different ‘virtual camera distances’ (for a single camera angle). Making a single selection
populates four
Zoom Presets just below (Figure 182).
