NewTek TriCaster TC1 (2 RU) - Manual (Page 61)

P a g e | 45
This primary screen is the first thing you
encounter after launch. It is dominated by the
main menu shown in Figure 33.
Choosing a link from the menu updates the right-
hand pane of the
Home Page to provide options
and controls related to your choice.
For example, the first thing you will likely do on
launching a brand new unit is create a session.
In anticipation of this, the New icon is pre-
selected automatically whenever there are no
existing sessions. This results in the relevant
session options being displayed at right, as shown in Figure 34.
5.2.1
NEW (SESSION)
As just mentioned, clicking New on the link populates the
pane at right with related options.
Principally, for each session you must designate (by selecting
switches) your local video standard.
• Select NTSC or PAL
• Select a session format, whether by clicking one of
the convenient Preset buttons, or making a manual
selection at right (such as 1080/59.94p)
S ESSION N AME
You will see a name field for your session listed above the
options pane at right. You can click in this field to modify the
default name (which will be the current date) using the
keyboard.
T EMPLATE
The Template drop-down menu lists all sessions currently
available on the system. If you select an entry, the session
you create subsequently retains all settings of the source
session.
V OLUME
A menu labeled Volume appears just right of the Session name. This selection designates a primary hard drive
for the session (and its associated content) to be created and stored on.
Note: When using internal IsoC order™ capture modules to record multiple sources, you may assign more than
one volume to capture duties. Sessions track recorded clips too, providing easy access to them for live use.
