NewTek TriCaster 40 - Manual (Page 41)

Virtual sets in the LiveSet system display video from either one or two different TriCaster sources. It will not
surprise you that these correspond to Input A and B, the primary video sources we discussed earlier. (Again as
you might expect, Input B is often assigned to secondary purposes, such as to supply the display for a ‘monitor’
in a virtual set.)
ZOOM PRESETS
Unlike earlier LiveSet implementations, LiveSet does not need multiple LiveSets to mimic different ‘virtual
camera distances’ (for a single camera angle). Making a single selection populates four Zoom Presets just below
(Figure 65).
Figure 65
Initially, these four presets represent default stops between the maximum and minimum distance for the
specific set - the ‘closest’ view is 100%. Click a preset thumbnail to jump to the camera view it represents. An
active Zoom Preset is shown with a gold border (a white border tracks your cursor when selecting presets).
Notice that a numeric slider is provided above right for each preset. These work the same as other numeric
sliders in TriCaster’s Live Desktop – drag to adjust the value, click to type directly into the field using the
keyboard, or press (keyboard) Shift and then double-click to restore the default value for that preset.
Note: Some LiveSets (e.g., double-box sets) do not support zooming. In such cases, the Zoom Presets and the
Zoom T-Bar are inactive.
ZOOM T-BAR
Figure 66
The Zoom T-Bar is located beside the Zoom Presets. Dragging it vertically adjusts the virtual ‘camera distance’
for the active LiveSet, between 0-100%.
