Click the E (Event) button to assign macros to run when the sound level for the input passes the threshold
audio level (transients such as a brief cough are filtered out).

In this manner you could, for example, automatically perform a ‘hands-free’ camera switch to show someone
who begins speaking, and then automatically switch back again when he stops.

PAN

The Audio Configuration panel also provides complete Pan
control.

Pan is a very useful feature. It adjusts placement of sound
from source audio channels on the stereo channels
comprising the audio mix(es).

Using Pan, you can place all or part of channel A onto channel
B
, and vice versa.

When Pan is set to the extreme left position for Input 1a, its audio is sent exclusively to the first
channel for the Input 1 group.

Centering the Pan knob labeled A splits the sound received by Input 1a equally onto channels A and
B
.

Sliding Pan for Input 1a all the way to the right results in that source only being audible on channel
B, removing it completely from its original channel.

Pan also modulates the sound levels on the left and right channels so that the overall volume neither rises
nor drops as a result of adjustments.

Hint: “Pan” is not the same as “Balance”. The balance control in a stereo system varies the relative level of the left
and right channels, but sound from the left channel will never come out of the right speaker, or vice versa (whereas
Pan does permit this to occur).

ROUTING

A control group labeled Routing appears below the Pan group in the first tabbed pane (Input Settings) of the
Audio Configuration panel for all sources.

FIGURE 202

The controls in this group determine output routing of the stereo pair(s) comprising the input group.
Switches let you send channels A and B to different internal audio buses maintained by TriCaster.
