17.1.4 SPEEDEDIT DESKTOP
TriCaster launches SpeedEDIT on a desktop of its own, spanning all connected monitors. You can
exit SpeedEDIT by clicking the [x] button in the upper-right corner of the desktop, or by using the
File men item Close .
If you have a secondary monitor connected to TriCaster, you can drag SpeedEDIT’s Video Output
window (opened from the Window menu) onto that screen, then maximize it by double-clicking
inside the preview area (double-clicking a second time restores the standard floating window).
Similarly, you might find it convenient to maximize the SpeedEDIT window to fill the primary
monitor display. To do this, double-click the window border. In this configuration, the Desktop
exit button is not available, but you can exit the application using the File menu’s
Close item.
17.2 LIVETEXT
LiveText projects are launched from the Session Page in TriCaster’s Startup Screen . After
creating a new session or opening an existing one, click Graphics on the icon ring (see Section
5.3). This reveals options and links at right, discussed previously in the Startup Screen chapter
just mentioned.
17.2.1 SESSIONS, PROJECTS AND DISPLAY
LiveText uses the current session settings for output to TCXD850 video outputs, new projects
(created within the LiveText
File menu or from the Session Page ) and bitmap file exports. If you
use the File menu to Open a project whose settings do not correspond to the current session
settings, TriCaster will attempt to display it on its hardware video outputs, if possible.
LiveText sends output from the canvas to TriCaster’s outputs continuously while running. For
this reason, the
Live Display pane and associated tools that appear at upper-right (above the
Pages Panel) in LiveText standalone do not appear in TriCaster’s LiveText interface.
When LiveText is running, TriCaster’s video outputs (rows 1-3) will all conform to the session
format. That is, if the project is HD, the SDI outputs will all be HD, and the analog outputs will be
Component HD.
