12.5 EFFECTS
The virtual Input tabs provide access to some other special purpose effects, in addition to
LiveSets. Among these are effects found in Media Browser groups labeled Alpha, Alignment, and
3D.

The effects in the first two groups are largely self-explanatory, but it’s worth reviewing Anaglyph,
found in the 3D group.
The anaglyph method of displaying 3D imagery depends on stereo
video inputs that have been filtered and composited into a single
output stream. In turn, this combined stream resolves into 3D when
viewed through special glasses with red and cyan (blue-green) filters
for left and right eyes respectively.
TriCaster provide easy access to anaglyphic technology by means of its Anaglyph effect. The 3D
effect combines the 2 primary video inputs in a Virtual Input panel. 3D output can then be
switched easily like any other source. No complex configuration steps or tricky control surface
operations are required.
