1 ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Hate reading manuals? If so, you are part of the majority
(estimates are that between 60 and 97% of the human race
concur). Most prefer to jump right in, maybe asking a friend for
occasional help (and who can blame them)?
This manual attempts to tell you what you need to know in a
friendly, concise way, while also providing a deeper reference
section you can turn to when you really need specifics.
Even if you hate reading, please take a moment to peruse at least this section, which explains the
manual’s organization. You may find you can escape with a minimum of reading. (Or, if you are a
devout reader, you can be the
hero others turn to for expert advice.)
Part I – Getting Started :
introduction to TriCaster; connecting devices (cameras,
monitors, etc.) and registration, ending with the Live Production Walkthrough – a brisk
jog through fundamentals, about 50 pages (if you’re a quick study, this may provide all
you need).
Part II – Reference
: chapters in this section cover every arcane detail related to using
TriCaster (for those who need it, and those who just like to know everything).
Part III – Appendices
: leads off with a handy section titled “How do I …?“, a helpful
question and answer section with its own brief index. When you have a specific need,
you may well find a quick answer here, along with cross references to more detailed
information when appropriate. Appendix D lists all shortcut keys. Part III is also home
to a comprehensive keyword index.
