SECTION 7.3
MACROS
Macros provide extremely important production benefits – sufficiently so that we have not only have given
them a place of their own in the User Guide (Chapter 17), but they are also discussed in greater detail in the
accompanying
Automation and Integration Guide . Also, note that the Shortcut Commands used in macros are
listed on your TriCaster’s locally served Resources web page.
SECTION 7.4 WORKSPACES
The Workspaces menu opens when clicked to reveal control groups for each detected screen. These control
the monitor viewport layouts shown on the Live Desktop and external Multiview displays. Workspace
features are discussed in Section 10.3.
