SECTION 7.3

MACROS

Macros provide extremely important production benefits

sufficiently so that we have not only have given

them a place of their own in the User Guide (Chapter 17), but they are also discussed in greater detail in the
accompanying

Automation and Integration Guide

. Also, note that the

Shortcut Commands

used in macros are

listed on your TriCa

ster’s locally served Home web page.

SECTION 7.4

WORKSPACES

The

Workspaces

menu opens when clicked to reveal control groups for each detected screen

(the number of

multiviews supported varies by model). These control the monitor viewport layouts shown on the

Live

Desktop

and external

Multiview

displays.

Workspace

features are discussed in Section 10.1.
