 Otherwise (when the Transition Bin slots for multi-delegated layers are not aligned vertically),
rotating the knob moves the selection layer by layer as the knob turns until the selected slots are
aligned. From that point, continuing to twist SELECT moves the transition selection in lock step.
The SELECT knob also acts as a push button:
 Push SELECT to toggle the Reverse setting for the BKGD transition.
 Push SHIFT + SELECT to toggle the Ping Pong switch for the BKGD transition.
R ATE
The RATE knob operates in similar fashion to SELECT. Rotate the knob to modify the transition Rate for
delegated layers. Or press the knob to cycle through the standard Slow, Medium and Fast presets. Multi-
delegate selections are handled the same as for Select (for both twist and push operations).
Hint: You can assign the A and B rows of M/Es as well as the main PGM and PREV rows to color groups by turning
the respective Select and Rate knobs with the Shift button held down.
F ADE & T RANS
FIGURE 283
These two buttons provide a quick way to control the Transition Bin selection for the delegated switcher
layer(s). The FADE and TRANS (Transition) buttons are mutually exclusive; selecting either one cancels the
other, and only the currently active button remains lit.
Pushing FADE offers a quick and convenient way to select the Crossfade transition. Push the TRANS button
to activate the last-used transition icons for a video layer (or layers. For new sessions, TRANS jumps to the
first transition in the bin.
P ERFORMING T RANSITIONS
Just as in the user interface, the TriCaster control surface provides both local and main transition controls.
M AIN T- BAR , T AKE AND A UTO
These controls correspond exactly to their Live Desktop counterparts, and affect all currently delegated video
layers (BKGD, DSK 1, DSK 2, or FTB) at the same time.
Note that two small LEDS are situated near the left side of the T-Bar – one at each extreme of its stroke. When
a transition is in progress (or is halted partway), one LED is illuminated. This LED marks which direction to
push the T- to complete the current transition.
