STRIPE

Pressing this

Joystick delegate

button restricts the behavior of the

Joystick

in a manner many are used to from

using ‘traditional’ con

trol surfaces. That is to say,

Joystick

operations will always be directed to the video

bus(ses) assigned to the same stripe. As mentioned though, VMC1 surfaces offer greater versatility and

control options. It’s possible to quickly redirect control to a

ny suitable target without interrupting

Switcher

operations on neighboring stripes.

M/E

–

M/E

These buttons provide a quick and convenient way to delegate

Joystick

operations to one or more selected

M/Es

(the number of M/Es varies by TriCaster model).

PTZ

OURCE

ELECT

Depending on the TriCaster model and feature set, PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) style joystick operations are not

limited to ‘real’ PTZ cameras. Static cameras,

Media Players

, and

Buffers

are among the different source types

that may benefit from ‘virtual PTZ’ functionality. And of course M/Es have similar capabilities courtesy

COMP

and

Positioner

features.

For this reason, you can delegate any source that is qualified for

Joystick

control on your system as follows:

Hold down the

PTZ

button and press the desired

KEY

row button at left in the same stripe as the

Joystick.

Press an M/E button (1-8), MAIN, or FOLLOW STRIPE to reset the Joystick to the corresponding operating mode.

RESETS

In addition to manually controlling the PTZ camera with the

Joystick

, of course, you will often want to store

and recall

PTZ presets

•

To store a new preset for the currently delegated camera, or to update an existing preset, hold down
the

PTZ

button and press a button numbered from 1-16 in the

A/C

row at left in the same stripe.

•

To recall a preset, hold down the

PTZ

button and press a button numbered from 1-16 in the

B/D

row

at left in the same stripe.
