BANK

FIGURE 261

Another set of delegate buttons sits in the second row (counting from the top) of the

primary Command

group

. This group is labeled

BANK

. As you know by now, the

Switcher

crosspoints are organized in banks

comprising columns.

Similarly,

Switcher

sources are presented in banks on Stripe model control surfaces. (The constituent sources

of Switcher banks on the surface may deviate from the interface because the button count is different.) Press
the desired

BANK

button

–

1, 2 or 3

–

to determine which group of sources is currently delegated to the

Switcher

rows in all stripes. The displays above the selection rows will update accordingly.

Note: For reasons that should be obvious, Bank buttons do not support multi-selection.

PLIT

ANKS

Ordinarily, the

Switcher

and

M/E

row bank assignments for all stripes on the surface match. So, for example,

if the

Main Switcher

is showing

Bank 1

, all other stripes likewise display

Bank 1

. It possible, however, to lock

individual stripes to specified

Banks

To do so, hold down the

ALT

and

CTRL

buttons on the surface together, which will cause the LCD displays to

list

Banks 1, 2,

and

in the first three

Switcher

columns. Press the

KEY

row button above the display for the

desired stripe to select the Bank it will present thereafter.

Stripes delegated to a particular

Bank

in this manner do not update when you press the

Bank (1-3)

buttons

in the

Primary Command Group

. To restore normal behavior, hold down

ALT

and

CTRL

again, and notice that

the

KEY

row button for the currently assigned bank lights. Press this button again to extinguish it, and the

stripe will once again follow the primary

Bank

button assignment.

22.3.4

PREVIZ

There are more deleg

ate buttons, but before moving on to consider them, let’s

complete our consideration of the second row of the

primary Command group

This brings us to the

PREVIZ

group.

TriCaster’s powerful

Previz

feature was described earlier in this Guide (Section

9.8

). We’ve also seen, in Section

22.3.2, that we can delegate a stripe to control

the various features

Previz

provides.

AND

FROM

Two buttons labeled

and

FROM

in the

PREVIZ

group on the 2 or 4-Stripe control surfaces complete the

support for this feature by providing access to the “Send to Previz” and “Copy from Previz” functions
