4 LIVE PRODUCTION WALKTHROUGH
This chapter provides a quick hands-on tour of the major
components and functions of your NewTek TriCaster. In a very
short time, these basics will be second nature to you.
More detailed reference material on all aspects of TriCaster follows
in Part II (Reference).
Having made the essential external connections in the previous section, let’s start your first
TriCaster session, and skim through some important fundamentals:

Startup and Import

Monitoring and related features.

Mixing audio (and the Audio Follow feature).

Network sources.

Switching between video sources and using transitions.

Recording a/v clips and Program Output.

Playing stored clips using the DDR (‘Digital Disk Recorder’).

Adding (and editing) title pages and graphics.

Using LiveMatte to create a simple chromakey effect.

Creating a LiveSet (virtual set) shot.

Using Virtual Inputs.

Streaming your program to the Internet (and recording the stream).
4.1 CREATING A SESSION
We ran through the basics of starting new sessions and configuring devices back in sections 3.8

these items individually again later in Part II (Reference), too.
1. In the initial Startup Screen , create a new 1080i session - name it “ Practice Session ”.
