Chapter 22 CONTROL SURFACES
This chapter introduces the control surfaces offered by NewTek for your TriCaster ® ,
helping you to see how they complement your system and add ability to your
production setup. We will also discuss connecting to the control panels from your live
production system.
NewTek Systems provide unrivalled live production power. With a matching control Surface, all that power
is right at your fingertips.
Two control surfaces have been prepared for varied requirements. In large measure the functionality
provided, and workflow is identical, regardless of which you use. NewTek 4-Stripe control surface is a large
and powerful ‘four - stripe’ unit, delivering precise control over your program, allowing you to produce your
show quickly and confidently. NewTek 2-Stripe is its more compact sibling. If you are looking for replay
action, check out Chapter 23
NewTek's TimeWarp™, an instant replay control surface to mark, replay and
manage highlights.
SECTION 22.1
CONNECTION AND CONFIGURATION
Simply connect the control surface unit to the same *network your TriCaster is on. Both control surfaces
require a standard, 3-prong AC power connection.
* The control surface and your TriCaster should be connected to the same subnet.
22.1.1 PAIRING SYSTEMS AND SURFACES
TriCaster automatically detects compatible control surfaces on the same network. Often there will only be
one such surface, which makes setup easy. At other times, though, you may be in an environment with more
than one surface, more than one live production system, or both of these conditions.
