3. Click the mouse in the Listen field at bottom left.
4. Hold down the MACRO button and press a suitable button on the control surface.
That’s it – you can close the Macro configuration Panel and test the result. To play back the macro at any
time, press the MACRO button along with the assigned key.
22.3.10 T-BAR ILLUMINATION
TriCaster 8000CS uses colorful illumination to provide feedback and status updates your control surface
selections and operations. The lighting schemes for both the M/E and MAIN TRANSITION T-Bars reinforce
the traditional button illumination in a way that soon becomes instinctive and which provides unparalleled
confidence in use.
The following tables provide a color code for your convenience.
22.3.11 M/E TRANSITION – LIGHTING
Control surface T-Bar illumination largely conforms to M/E tab color on the Live Desktop.

1. If BKGD is delegated alone, the T-Bar color is as shown in the table above, identifying which M/E is
delegated in the M/E DELEGATE group. (When multiple M/Es are delegated, the first selected delegate
determines the color.)
2. This color is at its brightest when the A source (effectively the Program row for a Mix effect) is fully
displayed. As the T-Bar is moved (or AUTO is pressed) to begin a transition, the color gradually dims until
the effect is complete. At that point, it pops back to full brightness, just as the onscreen T-Bar returns to
the top of its stroke.
3. In a mixed delegate situation (BKGD along with one or more KEY layers) the T-Bar is lit it medium blue,
and conforms to the BKGD behavior described above.
4. If one or more KEY layers are delegated without BKGD, the T-Bar color is purple. When the KEY layer
(or, for multi-KEY selections, the first KEY layer) is fully displayed, T-Bar lighting is at its brightest.
Removing the layer dims the illumination.
22.3.12 MAIN TRANSITION
1. Just as you would expect, the illumination of this T-Bar uses red-green coloration, standard color coding
for Program and Preview rows.
2. As for M/Es, described earlier, DSK-only delegate operations result in the T-Bar being lit in purple.
3. Mixed mode (BKGD plus DSK delegates) likewise result in blue illumination, just like the M/E T-Bar
behavior previously described.
