When an input is selected on both Program and Preview , the faceplate Tally Light will
glow amber.
Note: To prevent damage to TriCaster’s components when making external connections to the
tally light jacks, care should be taken that connection to the sleeve is always at ground potential.
3.8 STARTING A SESSION
If TriCaster is not already running, power it up now to reveal the Startup Screen . If TriCaster was
already running, and is in the Live Desktop or another area of the interface, you may need to
click the small [x] button at upper-right to exit; click the Back arrow at upper-left in the Session
Page to return to the Home Page .
The Startup Screen consists of two similar interface pages – Home and Session . Among other
things, the Home page is where you choose basic TriCaster session settings.
THE HOME PAGE
When no previously created sessions exist, the function selector ring dominating the Home page
defaults to the New icon, inviting you to create a new session. A default name for the new
sessions is listed at the top of the right-hand pane. Initially, the suggested name will be the
current date. Click in this area to modify the name using the keyboard if you like.
