External And Internal Monitors - NewTek TriCaster 850 User Manual

Figure 36
The monitor titlebar for the Preview row selection has a green tint, while the titlebar for the FX
source monitor is blue. Note that many of these onscreen monitors are interactive:
1. Click a (source) monitor once to select that source on the Switcher's Preview row.
2. Click the monitor with the green highlight again to perform a simple Take, swapping the
Program and Preview row selections. Looked at another way, what you have done is
swap the BKGD (Background) video layer sources – without changing the display status
of any other video layers.
3. Double-click any source monitor to send it immediately to Program output.
And, as discussed back in Section 3.14, these monitors display a Configuration button allowing
input type selection and more, including Proc Amp (see Section 7.2.3) and LiveMatte controls
(see Section 4.9), and indicators depicting the on/off status of these features.
Further, some onscreen monitors provide other contextual controls and displays including things
like Play or Stop (Freeze), current position (timecode) in a clip, and Network source selection (see
Section 9.3.1).
