Virtual Inputs - NewTek TriCaster 850 User Manual

12 VIRTUAL INPUTS

We illustrated the value of Virtual Inputs back in Section 4.10 of the Live Production Walkthrough
chapter. Now we'll look into this powerful tool in depth.
Figure 192
Virtual Input tabs straddle the lower-left pane of the Live Desktop. These correspond to similarly
labeled Switcher buttons in the Program and Preview rows (there are no Virtual Input buttons in
the Switcher's Utility row).
Hint: The actual number of Virtual Inputs available varies by TriCaster™ model.
Virtual Inputs are a wonderful TriCaster™ innovation, opening up
whole new levels of convenience and production value.
You can pre-configure Virtual Inputs as multi-source compositions
(with or without an overlay) and introduce them into your
productions like any single Switcher source.
Virtual Inputs also provide TriCaster's connection to LiveSet,
NewTek's astonishing realtime virtual set technology, investing it
with great new capabilities.
