
TriCaster 8000 provides 4 DSK (Downstream Key) channels for the Switcher
and four independent Key channels for each M/E provide scores of creative
possibilities. (Other models have two DSK and one M/E Key channel).

Use any of the hundreds of transitions supplied to reveal either Background
or DSK/Key channels with animated wipes, trajectories and dissolves, or
select colorful and dynamic Animation Store transitions with overlays, sound
and TransWarp™ effects.

Create an unlimited number of custom transition effects with embedded
sounds, dynamic cloth effects, and full color overlays using the integrated
Animation Store Creator application.

Create eye-popping animated graphics using your favorite software (such as
Adobe After Effects®), and convert them to colorful *animated Buffer effects
that you can display on demand – without tying up a Media Player. (*Not a
TriCaster 410 or TriCaster Mini SDI, or Mini feature).

Reveal combinations of video layers with a single operation of the T-bar or
single-click Take and Auto buttons.

Local Transition controls for BKGD (Background) and DSK layers provide
flexible, independent layout and display of all layers and their transitions.

Select individual transition effects for every layer; adjust Transition Speed,
Reverse and Ping Pong options.
FIGURE 6
TriCaster's DSK layers support downstream overlays (not to mention M/E Key
channels, which can serve as upstream overlays – that is ahead of the main Switcher).
Some TriCaster models offer two DSKs, while TriCaster 8000 has four.
