The following styles automatically trigger TriCaster operations when the Headings switch is enabled:
•
Title – triggers automatic display of a LiveGraphics show opening title animation. This title uses the text
from the Title-style line to populate the first line of the animated title, and takes (hidden) text from a line
entered using the Heading 1 style for its second line (when used).
•
Heading 3 – identifies a CUE . When the Headings switch is enabled, a lower-third title is automatically
displayed for a short duration when the eyeline reaches a CUE for the first time in a segment . The first
line of the title shows the full Switcher input name set in Input Configuration for that source. The second
line of the title is drawn from the (Input Configuration) Comment entry for the source.
Hint: Titles as discussed above default to a pre-selected LiveGraphics title, and transition in and out
automatically. To display a different title page, preload the desired title into Buffer 1 beforehand. This
can be done using a command entered as a Comment in the docx file. You can also use Comments to
change the title’s transition effect, display duration, and so on.)
