Contextual Tools - NewTek TriCaster 40 User Manual

Beneath these primary monitors are Stream, Record and Grab buttons, along with their Configuration (gear)
buttons and time/counter fields (we'll look at these features in Sections 3.6 and Chapter 4, respectively). A
convenient Master Volume knob appears under Program, too.

By default, the monitoring section at left provides individual monitors for all available video sources, including
camera and network inputs and output from the internal Media Players.
The header of the monitor for the source currently selected on the Switcher's Program row is highlighted in red.
The titlebar for the Preview row selection has a green tint, while the FX source titlebar is blue.

3.2.1 CONTEXTUAL TOOLS

We mentioned the yellow, green and blue titlebar switches (Proc Amp, LiveMatte and Crop)
previously – see Section 2.3.2. Additional controls pop-up when you move your mouse
pointer over the onscreen monitors. The controls provided vary according to the source
type represented by the monitor. Camera monitors show Freeze and Configure buttons in
the titlebar on mouse roll-over.
Other controls appear if you roll-over the onscreen monitor for a Media Player. Stop and Play buttons are
supplemented by Previous and Next (playlist item) buttons.
As well, a timecode field is conveniently situated below the monitor label
for Media Player modules (Figure 30). Right-click on to open a menu
allowing you to Reverse Direction for the time counter, show or disable
Warning Colors, or use the entire Playlist Duration for the timecode rather
than just the time for the current item.

Roll the mouse pointer over a Network monitor and click the triangle button to
list available network video sources. The menu might list displays from other
computers on the network (via iVGA™), an AirPlay® stream, or perhaps the
output from a LiveText™ workstation. (Network sources are considered in more
depth in Chapter 4).
