Macros, Automation And Remote Control - NewTek TriCaster Mini User Manual

One of the hardest things about live switching is keeping up with the action. We're
only human, limited as to how fast our fingers can move, recall and perform important
sequential steps, and so on.
TriCaster's macros are the answer to that dilemma. Record any sequence of events as
a macro and play it back with one click. Alternatively, trigger it with a keystroke,
control surface operation, or HotSpot.

Macros can do almost anything;
Preload and play content, modify audio
settings, automate complex switcher
sequences or perform synchronous
operations.
The compelling usefulness of macros
justifies the prominent Macros menu
placement in TriCaster's Dashboard.
MACROS, AUTOMATION AND REMOTE
Macro capabilities smooth out your workflow, reducing complex
operations to a single button press, and make it easy to produce
sophisticated programs. Combined with TriCaster's Hotspot
automation, macros provide many opportunities for both
workflow streamlining and creative applications. (As well,
macros can reduce or eliminate embarrassing operator errors.)
This Chapter also covers Remote Control, which allows TriCaster
operations to be synchronized for various purposes.
