22.3.4 M/E CONTROLS
FIGURE 266
This section of the control surface corresponds to the tabbed M/E pane on the Live Desktop. The M/E
DELEGATE button group determines which M/E (from the eight available) is being controlled.
M/E DELEGATE
As you’d expect, the eight buttons in the M/E DELEGATE group (Figure 267)
let you select (or multi-select) which M/E(s) are being controlled.
Hint: Punching the selected delegate a second time toggles the M/E pane open or
closed.
FOLLOW PVW
Enabling the FOLLOW PREV button forces the DELEGATE selection to track the Switcher's PVW row selection.
This can be very valuable, as it automatically ensures that adjustments you make to settings will affect the
M/E that you plan to display next. The M/E control section actually employs three additional sets of delegate
controls to provide full control over all aspects of your M/E composition. The first two of these are discussed
next (M/E TRANSITION DELEGATES are in M/E TRANSITION group discussed a bit layer).
M/E LAYER AND KEY DELEGATE
These two delegate button groups control the functionality of the source selection
rows at left, allowing you to specify sources for any or all of the video layers of all
currently delegated M/E(s). Naturally, the M/E KEY DELEGATE
selection(s) govern the KEY row buttons at left
Just beneath the KEY row you will notice two identical rows
labeled A/C and B/D. The result of selections in the A/C source
row is controlled by the M/E LAYER DELEGATE buttons labeled A
and C. Likewise, B and D buttons in the M/E LAYER DELEGATE
group govern the B/D row.
SHOW PREV
This buttons toggles the Tabs Follow All Delegates option in TriCaster, which in turn causes M/E Preview
monitor panes to update when a new M/E Delegate selection is made.
