Chapter 24 CONTROL SURFACES: TI MEWARP™
This chapter describes the functionality supplied by the TimeWarp™ control surfaces
offered by NewTek (tm) , helping you to see how they deliver convenient replay and
Media Player control to your production setup.
This chapter discusses the use of NewTek TimeWarp ™ control surfaces (in two variants). Both models
(TriCaster ® 860TW and its predecessor, TW-42) add convenient slow motion instant replay to the already
potent capability of your TriCaster system.
TriCaster 860TW has the same profile as TriCaster 460 CS
and TriCaster 860 CS. Of course it delivers the same precise
control over TriCaster’s instant replay recording and live
playback when used alone. The TW-42 model, though
designed for use with earlier TriCasters, continues to
provide great functionality.
For the most part, both TimeWarp™ models have similar
controls, with similar labels, and perform in much the same
manner. For that reason, in the discussion which follows we
will focus on the newer TriCaster 860TW, simply giving you a friendly heads-up whenever we discuss an
item where TW-42 varies from its newer sibling.
TW-42 N OTES Wherever items of special interest to TW-42 users appear in this chapter, they will be flagged in the
same manner as this paragraph.

OVERVIEW
TriCaster 860 TW is quite straightforward to use, especially true if you are already familiar with common
TriCaster controls and features. In this section, we’ll discuss each part of the control surface, explaining how
the various controls operate and what effect they have, revealing a few little tricks that you may find helpful
along the way.
