4.5.2 LIVETEXT™
NewTek’s (optional) standalone LiveText™ application offers
features that are very similar to TriCaster’s integrated
LiveText
(see Chapter 17), but installs separately on a compatible
Microsoft Windows® computer.
A (networked) LiveText workstation effectively constitutes a
dedicated CG and title solution for TriCaster presentations. (This
is a wonderful addition for those times when you could really
use another pair of hands.)
When running on the network connected computer, LiveText is listed in the Network selection
drop-down menus (just as an iVGA source would be).
When you select LiveText (and click the Live button in LiveText), the current title page is available
via the Network buttons on TriCaster’s Switcher or in its Overlay panel. For more information
on installing and using this great tool, please refer to the Chapter 17.
4.6 LIVE SWITCHING
Back in Section 3.4, you connected cameras to inputs on TriCaster’s backplate and configured
them. If you haven’t already done so, let’s explore basic
Switcher operations.
4.6.1 SWITCHER ROWS
The Switcher features 3 rows of labeled buttons. From top to bottom, the three rows are
labeled Utility , Program and Preview .
Each button on a Switcher row represents one of the many and varied video sources available.
The first eight buttons represent Cameras 1-8 , while the others are for other special sources
(discussed soon).
