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.
