5 THE STARTUP SCREEN
TriCaster’s Startup Screen is the gateway to a suite of applications
as well as
session and system maintenance and management
features.
Icons in the left-hand pane of the Startup Screen provide access to
numerous functions. We’ll discuss each of these in the pages that
follow, beginning with a review of the concept of sessions.
The Startup Screen’s Home page appears whenever you launch TriCaster. From here, you create
and launch sessions, then choose what sort of activity you wish to pursue by making a selection
from the icon ring on the
Session Page .

concept – the
