Page 8: Controls
Figure 2 - TriCaster Studio Switcher Figure 3 - TriCaster TCXD300 Switcher In large measure, LC-11 physically replicates the Switcher and related controls of your NewTek live production system. (This is no great surprise, since the virtual controls in the interface were cleverly designed to mimic the appearance and behavior of familiar live production equipment.) - Page 9 You may have purchased LC-11 for use with an SD–only model TriCaster or VT[5]. On the other hand, perhaps your control surface will be connected to a TriCaster TCXD300 or TCXD850. The *button caps installed on your unit will differ slightly to suit your need. Figure 4...

Page 10: Switcher Section
SWITCHER SECTION Figure 5 - LC-11 Switcher section The largest of the three main sections of the LC-11 control surface corresponds to your NewTek live production system’s Switcher, as you can see in Figure 5. 3.2.1 SELECTING SWITCHER SOURCES... - Page 11 TRICASTER TCXD300 Effects Row: TriCaster TCXD 300’s Effects row has eight buttons, but LC-11 has eleven. The last three buttons in LC-11’s Effects row are unassigned. Program and Preview: The eleven buttons in each row on LC-11 operate the first eleven buttons in the corresponding Switcher rows.

the order of video source selection buttons in the Switcher section on LC-11 will almost certainly be different initially than your VT[5] display. Figure 6 – VT[5] Switcher (default appearance) The hardware buttons always control the first 11 Switcher buttons. To avoid confusion, you may well decide to adjust the sources in the software Switcher to match the button order on the LC- 11. -
Page 13: Transition Section
TRANSITION SECTION The most obvious component of the Transition section is the T-Bar, which works just like the one in the software version. LC-11 also provides some other buttons and knobs that do not have exact equivalents in the onscreen display, as discussed next. Figure 7 - Transition section 3.3.1 FADE AND FX Pressing the Fade button selects the standard CrossFade transition (found in the first well of each... -

Twirling the FX knob changes the selected Transition effect, cycling back and forth through the representative thumbnail icons loaded in the onscreen Transition Bank. TRICASTER TCXD300 & TCXD850 For these models only, press LC-11’s FX knob (as though it were a button) to toggle the Reverse (Transition) switch. -
Page 15: Overlay Section - Tricaster (Sd) & Vt[5]
TRICASTER TCXD300 & TCXD850 TCXD models have two downstream Overlay channels. When the Link Overlays (padlock) button in the Overlay section of the Switcher is enabled, both are affected (displayed or hidden) by a Fade All or Take All operation. Otherwise, only Overlay 1 is affected (Overlay 2’s display state remains unchanged). -
Page 16: The Joysticks
3.4.1 THE JOYSTICKS There are two joysticks, labeled A and B. Joystick A has no assigned function currently. Joystick B acts as a Shuttle control for any DDR module selected on the Switcher’s Preview row. Move it left or right to scan backward or forward in the current clip. The rate of scanning is controlled by the pressure you apply to the joystick. -
Page 17: Fade & Take (Overlay)
VT[5] VT*5+’s Downstream Key section provides a drop-down menu for source selection, but otherwise, the function of LC-11’s EXT, DDR1, DDR2 and TXT buttons is identical. Note: EXT refers to external sources such as an iVGA™ connected computer display or LiveText™ title page, whereas TXT invokes the current Title Template. 3.4.4 FADE &... -

3.5.1 JOYSTICKS When used alone (unmodified by other buttons, moving either of the two joysticks invokes their primary function – LiveSet zooming. (Secondary functions assigned to joysticks when used in conjunction with other buttons are described in the following sections.) ... - Page 19 SELCT (SELECT) Press and hold the Selct button as described next to assign sources for Overlay channels. PICK OVERLAY CHANNEL SOURCE 1. Press and hold the button labelled Selct. 2. Twirl the Overlay 1 or Overlay 2 knob above to click one by one through the list of available overlay sources.
