choose one of the options from the dialog that opens next.

FIGURE 52
DataLink™ is an astonishingly useful TriCaster Advanced Edition exclusive, allowing the handling and
updating of text and image data from both internal and external source for use in title pages in realtime, as
well as other purposes. Briefly, DataLink tracks variables, called DataLink keys, and their values, and updates
these values on-the-fly when keys are used in title pages.
Hint: DataLink keys can serve in other ways, too, as for example to automatically insert information such as time
or scores into labels and comments of social media uploads, or as instant replay clip metadata.
