monitoring pane

with multiple and easily customized

Workspaces.

controls, along with the most commonly used Switcher inputs; but many alternatives are available.

TriCaster provides three more multiviewer outputs to drive local displays, with configurable
workspace layouts and viewports to permit directors and operators to customize the control
environment to their preferences.

Beyond centralizing, organizing, and observing your choice of video signals with tally, you can
calibrate monitor color characteristics and display visuals such as audio VU meters, production
clocks, and waveform and vectorscope, for comprehensive management of your live operations.
