PAN CONTROL

Several controls are nested above each fader, along with the matching OLED display group
for that audio input or source. Looking at Figure 313 you’ll notice that in the default
operating mode (

PAN

; See the previous section) the Audio 1A track’s display shows a VU

meter at left, and a PAN graph below the input label. Rotate the knob below the PAN graph
display to adjust PAN for the channel this source is on.

AN CONTROL

For a four channel source, such as an input set to SDI Embedded, TriCaster’s level knobs
each control two channels. An Artist Mix knob set can likewise be configured to control
“Audio1 AB” and “Audio 1 CD” (for example) to control the two channel pairs for a single
SDI source (see Section 22.7.17 for details).

In such cases, the PAN control knob adjusts the first channel by default (A, in this example) for the assigned
pair. To adjust PAN settings for the other channel in the same pair, press the

SEL

button (just below the OLED

in the same Knob Set group). This lights the button, and re-assigns the PAN control
on the surface to the associated channel.

Press the

SEL

button again to restore control over the first channel (the

SEL

button

light will go out.

To adjust MIC GAIN for a channel, press the CHAN button. Then push the button labeled

SEL

located to the left

of the fader for the channel you want to control.

The highlight behind the source label in the OLED display updates to show the newly selected source. In

CHAN

mode, an additional control (labeled GAIN A or B) appears at right of the channel’s PAN control on the surface.

These GAIN controls correspond to mic trim controls found in TriCaster’s input Audio Configuration panels
(Audio Mixer tab). Press CHAN again to restore normal, single channel control, when done making
adjustments.

Hint: Although the GAIN control is shown for other source types, it really only has any effect on inputs configured
as Mic types in TriCaster’s audio input source selector.

TALK

Push the small

ON

button to the left of the knob to toggle the Talk (Talk Over) feature for Mic sources.

22.7.11

SOLO & MUTE

Two larger buttons labeled

SOLO

and

ON

(Mute) are positioned below the knob; that is, above each of the eight

faders (Figure 314). These two buttons are outside the Knob Set group, and thus independent of the mode
established by the of Knob Set selectors.
