This spectacular and innovative control surface is the perfect complement to
TriCaster 8000. TriCaster 8000’s unparalleled integration of advanced live
production technologies offers many exciting new creative possibilities. Fittingly,
an incredibly powerful and innovative control surface is included with the system.
TriCaster™ 8000 CS provides more than just control; it goes well beyond the norm
in providing useful feedback. You’ll quickly find yourself at home with its features
and functions.
22.3.1 OVERVIEW
The TriCaster 8000 CS control layout closely conforms to the user interface, the
principle exception being that singular M/E and Position control groups governed by
delegate buttons serve the purpose of multiple controls in the UI.
Controls are comprised of grouped sets including the following hardware types:
 Backlit push buttons
 Twist knobs
 T-bars
 3-axis joystick
22.3.2 DELEGATES AND SYNCHRONIZATION
Both TriCaster’s Live Desktop and the control surface supply delegate button groups
to govern other controls. This is extends the capability of controls and also supports
multi-selections, thus permitting simultaneous operations.
When initially selecting multiple delegates, the settings and states of the individual
members selected will often vary. For example – when you delegate several M/Es at
once, the transition Rate for various channels in the multi-selection could very well
be different. Generally, wherever it makes sense to do so, settings for multi-
delegated groups the settings are progressively synchronized as you make
adjustments.
