In addition, you may choose to display

VU Meters

with the source,

Tracking

Markers

and

Hot Spot Markers

.

Long-standing practice when using color bars to calibrate video signal

color attributes requires special video monitors with ‘blue only’ (or ‘blue

-

gun’) dis

plays. The

Blue Only

viewport option means you can now use any

color monitor for this purpose.

The final

Overlay

option flips the images horizontally, useful for a variety

of studio requirements such as talent orientation in greenscreen
applications (including

Hotspot

operations).

Note: Certain Overlay menu options are not suitable for all monitor
sources hence are not listed when inappropriate, or may not appear on all
models.

VIEWPORT PRESETS

FIGURE 125

From corporate video to reality TV, PTZ cameras are playing an expanded role in modern production.
TriCaster gives top billing to your PTZ presets right in its Live Desktop or any connected Multiview.

The viewport context menu option

Source Presets

lets you assign preset controls to any viewport. Large,

colorful thumbnail icons represent PTZ presets for robotic cameras,

Pan and Scan

presets (a.k.a. ‘virtual PTZ’,

requires Premium Access membership), and M/E

Comps

(or zoom presets on systems lacking Comp

support).

With a click, or better yet a tap on a touchscreen, your source will gracefully move to its new position (

Pan

and Scan

sources can also be set to Cut). Using TriCaster’s Multiview workspace options you can create

custom layouts providing one-click access to presets for multiple sources of different types.
