To do so, simply right-click on one of the following items to open the Rename Input dialog (Figure 54):
Any monitor in the Live Desktop or external Multiview
Any Switcher source button
The Rename Input dialog has either several editable text fields, including Video (the label shown under
monitors), a shorter Switcher Button label and, sometimes Audio – the name shown for the audio input with
the same number.
TriCaster Advanced Edition also provides a large Comment box here. Since both the longer Video label and
Comment can be used by DataLink to automatically update title pages as individual inputs are displayed, this
is a particularly useful feature.

WORKSPACES AND MIN/MAXIMIZE
Various layouts and custom monitoring options for the Live Desktop and Multiview are provided in the
Workspace menu. When a Multiview monitor is in use, the two Workspace preset options can be combined
with great flexibility, letting you see what you want to see where you want to see it. It’s easy to set up
complementary displays in the two monitor areas.
For example, you might show main Program and Preview monitors along with all 8 M/Es on the Live Desktop.
Meanwhile, the Multiview monitor could display up to eight live Camera feeds plus Media Players, as well as
the (program) output and B row selections for a specified M/E set to Mix mode.

Notice too that you can also drag both the horizontal divider between the Live Desktop monitor pane and the
Switcher, and the divider between the Program and Preview panes at right and the viewports at left. You can
even move the horizontal divider all the way up to the bottom of the Dashboard, thus hiding the Desktop
monitor pane entirely (Figure 55), providing much more room for other modules in the process.
Hint: Reset the horizontal divider to its default locations by double-clicking it.
