Speed; Frame Buffers - NewTek TriCaster 850 User Manual

SPEED

Figure 181
The Speed control is only found in the DDR. The DDR supports variable speed playback between
25% and 400% of the normal rate (100%). Speed can even be adjusted during playback.
Note that certain highly compressed video file formats cannot successfully be played back at
rates beyond 200%, even though Speed value is set to a higher value. As is common for numeric
input controls in TriCaster, drag left or right to adjust the Speed value, or click the slider to access
a direct entry field allowing you to type a value using the keyboard.
Hint: Press Shift while double-clicking Speed to quickly reset to the 100% default.

10.3 FRAME BUFFERS

TriCaster's Frame Buffer system provides a very convenient and important alternative source
system for Virtual Inputs (including their associated Overlay channels) and the Switcher's two
primary Overlay channels.

Hint: We considered a Frame Buffer example back in Section 4.11.
