L OCAL T AKE /A UTO
Local Take and Auto buttons are provided for DSK 1 and DSK 2, but not FTB. These perform a cut or transition
respectively, affecting only the corresponding switcher layer.
Hint: When a DSK layer is fully displayed on Program out, its local Take button (on the Live Desktop as well as the
control surface) remains lit.
22.4.6 M/E GROUP
This section of the control surface corresponds to the tabbed M/E panes on the Live Desktop. The M/E
DELEGATE button group determines which M/E (from the four or eight available) is being controlled.

In contrast with the Live Desktop, your TriCaster CS adjusts position attributes M/E video layers using a single
set of Positioner tools governed by Delegate controls (see Section 22.4.7).
M/E D ELEGATE
Your TriCaster CS provides an M/E DELEGATE button group to govern which M/E(s) are affected by
operations. Selected DELEGATE buttons are illuminated and, conveniently, multiple selections are supported.
When using a 460 CS with an 8-input TriCaster, add SHIFT with a selection to delegate
F OLLOW PVW
Enabling the FOLLOW PVW button (M/E DELEGATE group) 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.
I NPUT R OWS
Just as in the Live Desktop, the Overlay row selection determines the source for the Overlay layer of an M/E.
However, since the control surface supports selection of multiple M/Es simultaneously, operations can affect
more than one M/E at a time.
