TriCaster 40 CS™ was initially designed for TriCaster 40 (not covered in this Guide), its ‘version 1’ button
may labels reflect that. The image above reveals the updated button layout when used with the latest
software feature set. The TriCaster Mini CS layout is virtually identical, but always sports the updated label
set.

While primarily designed to support the 4-input TriCaster Mini, 410, and 460 models, this unit and its similar
sibling have been extended capabilities that allow them to work with any Pro model, even including TriCaster
860 and 8000. This makes them perfect travelling companions or backup units for use with the entire
TriCaster Pro lineup.

DELEGATES AND SYNCHRONIZATION

Delegate button groups govern other controls on the control surface. Some delegates support multi-
selection, allowing simultaneous operations to be performed. When initially selecting multiple delegates, as
often as not the settings and states of the individual members selected will vary. For example, when you
delegate both DSK’s at once in the TRANSITION DELEGATE group, the RATE for current transitions for the
two DSKs could well be different.

Generally, wherever it makes sense to do so, when you make adjustments to settings for multi-delegate
features, the settings will be progressively synchronized, then advance in lock step.

SWITCHER DELEGATES

FIGURE 291

This delegate group dictates what the FX/OVERLAY, PROGRAM and PREVIEW rows will control. The options
are mutually exclusive – that is, multiple selections are not supported. Choose one of:

MAIN

M/E 1

M/E 2

M/E 3

M/E 4

For 8-input models, press SHIFT + M/E (1-4) to delegate M/Es 5-8.
