Long-standing practice when using color bars to calibrate video signal
color attributes requires special video monitors with ‘blue only’ (or ‘blue -
gun’) displays. The Blue Only viewport option means you can now use
any color monitor for this purpose.
The final Overlay option flips the images horizontally, useful for a variety
of studio requirements such as talent orientation in greenscreen
applications (including
Hotspot operations).
Note: Certain Overlay menu options are not suitable for all monitor
sources hence are not listed when inappropriate, or may not appear on
all models.
10.5.1 VIEWPORT PRESETS
FIGURE 132
From corporate video to reality TV, PTZ cameras are playing an expanded role in modern production.
TriCaster gives top billing to your PTZ presets right in its Live Desktop or any connected Multiview.
The viewport context menu option Source Presets lets you assign preset controls to any viewport. Large,
colorful thumbnail icons represent PTZ presets for robotic cameras, Pan and Scan presets (a.k.a. ‘virtual PTZ’,
requires Exclusive Features), and M/E Comps (or zoom presets on systems lacking Comp support).
With a click, or better yet a tap on a touchscreen, your source will gracefully move to its new position ( Pan
and Scan sources can also be set to Cut). Using TriCaster’s Multiview workspace options you can create
custom layouts providing one-click access to presets for multiple sources of different types.
Hint: Double-click a viewport to quickly open Input Configuration without using the gear or menu.
