Finding your files- automatically!
Typical sessions include many media
clips, along with graphics, titles and
buffers. Naturally, users must ensure
make sure that all of media required is
on hand for the session.
To help with this task, TriCaster
automatically locates the necessary
media, even when drive settings have
been changed on the system (as, for
example, when a session backup has
been restored onto different drives
compared to the original setup).
o For example, will you send video to a local reference monitor using
an S-Video or composite cable?
o Do you intend to configure a connection for a projection system?
What external audio connections and adjustments are required?
 You might create a playlist of custom title pages in a Media Player, along with
additional playlists for the DDRs.
During the course of the actual live
production you may perform further
fine-tuning, and also add to the media
content used in the presentation:
 You could grab a series of still
images from Program Output.
 Grab some clips from the
production for replay later.
 And capture the network Stream
output as a file.
The list of adjustments, activities and
assets involved in a specific production
goes on, but the main point to grasp here
is that the session is comprised of all of
the above collectively. If you do not
deliberately delete the session, all of your
session media and all of your session settings are ready
for immediate recall and re-use.
When you re-open an existing session, it’s just as if you were continuing an earlier
event. Thus, if you return to the same venue another day under similar conditions,
simply re-open your prior session and you are virtually ready to go. (Of course, it’s
the professional course of wisdom to test everything before beginning any event.)
