PTZ SEL

Hold this button down and press a button in the KEY row at left to designate which camera

to control.

Note: Depending on TriCaster model and feature set, PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) style 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 capabilit

ies, courtesy of

COMP and Positioner features. For this reason, you can delegate any source that is qualified for Joystick
control on your system using the PTZ SEL button.
