22.6.7 ALT AND QUALIFIERS
FIGURE 302
For ergonomic reasons, ALT is in a special location by itself just below the Play Speed control group. It, along
with SHIFT and CTRL (Control) are what are termed ‘qualifiers buttons’, in that (like their keyboard
equivalents) they qualify, or modify the outcome of operating some other control.
We’ve discussed one use of ALT in Section 22.6.6; see also Section 22.6.8. At the time of writing SHIFT and
CTRL are reserved for as yet unspecified future purposes.
22.6.8 RECORD TOGGLE
It’s probably no surprise at all that pressing the REC (Record) button enables TriCaster’s own
Record feature. It’s worth mentioning though, that REC is not a simple toggle button (as it is on
the user interface). Simply pressing REC again does not turn Record off.
Recording is such an important function, we are sure you agree you don’t want anyone
to be able to accidentally disable it.
For this reason, you must use ALT + REC (hold down ALT while pushing REC) to turn recording off. This
makes disabling recording a very deliberate operation, and not one that is at all likely to have been
unintentional (as perhaps by some hapless passerby coming in contact with the control surface while looking
over your shoulder).
TW-42 N OTES There is no REC button on TW-42. Even so, pushing the Replay In button will automatically enable
Record.
Also, you can add a five second clip from the Primary record source to all current Add to targets by pressing
SHIFT + REC.
22.6.9 DDR OPTIONS
The LOOP, SINGLE and AUTOPLAY buttons toggle their namesake features for the
currently delegated DDR.
TW-42 N OTES There is no Loop or Autoplay button on TW-42. While there is no Single button either, TW-42’s Sel
(Select) and List buttons turn Single mode on and off for the current DDR.
