Main Layer Controls; Media Players - NewTek TriCaster 40 User Manual

Drag the double-headed arrow to relocate the DSK source vertically or horizontally within the frame. Constrain
movement to one axis by holding down the Ctrl key before dragging, or by dragging on either of the two
numeric controls below (click to enter a value by typing if you prefer).
Hint: DSK layers automatically appear (temporarily) on Preview when the Position panel is open. This frees you to
tinker with Positioning without disrupting Program output.

FTB (FADE TO BLACK)
Remember that FTB (Fade to Black) is effectively the final video layer before output, and will hide all other layers
when active. Click this button to enable or disable FTB.
Note: As a reminder that FTB obscures all other output, the button pulses when FTB is active.

MEDIA PLAYERS

Figure 40
TriCaster's Media Players permit you to use clips, stills, title pages and sound files in your live presentations. You
can display files sequentially as a playlist, or singly on demand. Media Players can even play, stop and advance
automatically in response to your Switcher operations.
Generally, TriCaster's main Transition controls (Take, Auto and the T-Bar) behave
just like their local sidekicks.
Use the T-Bar to control transition progress manually.
