RESENTATIONS

It’s extremely useful to realize that, since TriCaster Advanced Edition supports transitions between playlist
items, pressing Previous or Next likewise employs transitions. Whether playback is underway or stopped,
and whether the items are clips or stills, you can use Previous and Next to transition backward and forward
between items.
This provides a perfect way to manage presentations using Media Players, hence our inclination to refer to
this as the “Presentation workflow’. With macros (and perhaps MIDI buttons) driving the presentation, this
makes it easy to handle control graphics and video for seminars, to update weather graphics, and more.
Hint: In addition, since transitions support transparency, you can queue up a series of titles in a playlist,
display it in a DSK, and transition backward and forward between titles interactively simply using Previous
and Next.
S
PEED
The Speed control is only found in DDRs (as opposed to GFX or SOUND players). The DDR supports
variable speed playback between 25% and 400% of the normal rate (100%). Speed can even be
adjusted during playback.
Note: Certain highly compressed video file formats cannot successfully be played back at rates beyond
200%, even though Speed value is set to a higher value.
As is common for numeric input controls in TriCaster, drag left or right to adjust the Speed value, or click the
slider to access a direct entry field allowing you to type a value using the keyboard.
Hint: Press Shift while double-clicking Speed to quickly reset to the 100% default.

Enabling Loop repeats playback continuously (respecting the Single switch state).

UTOPLAY
When enabled, the Autoplay switch has several important effects. First, it initiates playback
automatically when the associated Media Player is placed on Program Out by a (Switcher)
Take or Transition operation either directly (as a Switcher row selection) or indirectly – such
as by being displayed via an M/E channel or DSK operation.
