Available sessions are grouped under the names of the storage volume they are located on (Figure 38). The
listing shows the

Session Name

and

Format

for each session, on each drive

. Let’s look at the

Sessions List

briefly before we open a session.

UTO

AUNCH

ESSION

Normally, a few seconds after launch, TriCaster automatically reloads the last session you were in, allowing
you to basically power up into the last session unattended. You can, of course, interrupt this process by
selecting another session or pressing any key. Advanced users can modify this behavior, either by
designating a specific session to auto-launch irrespective of the most recent manual selection, or by disabling
the feature entirely.

Important Note: Modifying this feature requires changes to the Windows

registry. We strongly recommend

that edits to the registry be performed only by experienced persons, as the system can be rendered inoperable
if this is done improperly.

To do this, add a new value named

auto_launch_session

to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NewTek\XD\Admin Screen

Set its value data to the name of an existing session, and that session will auto-open on launch (instead of

the ‘last open’ session). If the specified session does not exist, the auto

-launch feature will not proceed, by

setting

auto_launch_session

to “_Disabled” (or some other suitable string) rather than a real session name

you can effectively disable auto-launch.

ONTEXT MENU

Right-click a session name to open a context menu with two items listed in it:

Rename

and

Delete

. Be aware

that the

Delete

function should be used thoughtfully, as it cannot be undone.
