FOLLOW STRIPE
Pressing this Joystick delegate button restricts the behavior of the Joystick in a manner many are used to from
using ‘traditional’ control surfaces. That is to say, Joystick operations will always be directed to the video
bus(ses) assigned to the same stripe. As mentioned though, NewTek’s Stripe surfaces offer g reater versatility
and control options. It’s possible to quickly redirect control to any suitable target without interrupting
Switcher operations on neighboring stripes.
M/E 1 – M/E 8
These buttons provide a quick and convenient way to delegate Joystick operations to one or more selected
M/Es
MAIN
Punch MAIN to direct delegate Joystick operations to the Main Switcher .
PRVZ
This button delegates Joystick operations to TriCaster’s convenient PREVIZ video bus.
PTZ
S OURCE S ELECT
PTZ (pan-tilt- zoom) style joystick operations are not limited to ‘real’ PTZ cameras. Static cameras, Media
Players , and Buffers are among the different source types that may benefit from ‘virtual PTZ’ functionality.
And of course, M/Es have similar capabilities courtesy of COMP and Positioner features.
For this reason, you can delegate any source that is qualified for Joystick control on your system as follows:
Hold down the PTZ button and press the desired KEY row button at left in the same stripe as the Joystick.
Press an M/E button (1-8), MAIN, or FOLLOW STRIPE to reset the Joystick to the corresponding operating mode.
P RESETS
In addition to manually controlling the PTZ camera with the Joystick , of course, you will often want to store
and recall PTZ presets .
• To store a new preset for the currently delegated camera, or to update an existing preset, hold down
the
PTZ button and press a button numbered from 1-16 in the A/C row at left in the same stripe.
• To recall a preset, hold down the PTZ button and press a button numbered from 1-16 in the B/D row
at left in the same stripe.
