NewTek TriCaster TC1 (2 RU) - Manual (Page 123)

P a g e | 107
Note: The Waveform and Vectorscope displays are not a feature of all TriCaster models.
To display the Scopes view, select that entry from the Load Default options for a Workspace .
By default, scopes and the associated monitor refer to the Look Ahead Preview composition (including
delegated DSK channels, or FTB ), shown at left for reference. Right-click a scope to change the monitored
source to the source you wish to view. Adjust the Brightness controls in the scope footers, and the trace
overlay in full or solid colors using the context menu.
Hint: To use Scopes to calibrate a DSK source independently, first select it as the Preview row source.
Double-click a monitor in this Workspace to access Proc Amp and LiveM atte™ controls for the current source.
SECTION 10.5 VIEWPORT OPTIONS
Right-clicking an individual monitor viewport also opens a context
menu. The first option group governs the monitor’s source.
In addition to external video inputs (including Network sources),
you can assign the output of Media Players ; M/Es ; main Program
output (including DSK channels and effects); Program (Clean)
without; the main Switcher’ s look ahead Preview; another Preview
showing M/E source B output ( Mix mode only); or any Output
(VMC1 only).
Several special displays are also available. Selecting the Clock item
replaces the video display with Event Clocks showing current time
along with countdown style Start and End clocks. The Custom
Image feature lets you display a network logo.
A further display you may find useful is the Timecode Only option
that appears at the bottom of the Media Players sub-menu. This
displays a time counter showing the current position of the
playhead in the
Media Player (respecting the specified Player’s
Warning Colors option, too).
Below the basic source selection options in the menu,
you’ll find another group that provides access to optional
Overlays for the monitor port.
Available overlays include Checkerboard (shows a
checked pattern wherever transparency exists in the
source);
Title Safe (note this is a 4:3 format safe margin);
4:3 Safe (a true 4:3 frame edge boundary), Center Cross
to help with alignment, and Show Illegal and Show Alpha .
