NUMBERPAD
(NUM
LOCK
ON)
Having covered the alternate (NUM LOCK off) numberpad button
functions, let’s consider the value of the
Numberpad
in connection
with running macros.
Any macro can be triggered by pressing a three-digit number
sequence on any of the
Numberpads
on the control surface. Simply
open the
Macro Configuration
surface
in TriCaster’s
Live Desktop
,
and
select a macro from the list; click a
Listen
box at the bottom of the
surface, then type a three digit number, such as 123.
Each
Numberpad
on the control surface is treated independently.
Thus the very same numeric entry can trigger different macros from
the
Numberpads
in different stripes.
For 4-Stipe, which has three
Numberpads
, this means you have direct
access to nearly 3000 different macros.
Hint: If you start to enter a number, then change your mind, simply
press any button outside the number pad to cancel the entry.
