Live Production Walkthrough; Section 4.1 Creating A Session - NewTek TriCaster Mini User Manual

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.

Audio mixing (and the Follow feature).

Network sources.

Switching between video sources, and using transitions.

Program output and recording.

Playing stored clips using the DDR ('Digital Disk Recorder').

Adding (and editing) title pages and graphics.

Using an M/E to create a simple chromakey effect.

Configuring a LiveSet (virtual set) shot.

Using Buffers

Streaming to the Internet.
We ran through the basics of starting new sessions and configuring input and output
devices in sections Section 3.10 through Section 3.14. If you need to review this
information, go ahead and do so now. (We'll look at them individually again later in
Part II (Reference), too.)
1. In the initial Startup Screen, create a new 1080i session - name it "Practice
Session".
