RANSITIONS
Just as in the user interface, the TriCaster control surface provides both local and
main transition controls.
M

T-
BAR
, T
AKE AND
A
UTO
These controls correspond exactly to their Live Desktop counterparts, and affect all
currently delegated video layers (BKGD, DSK 1, DSK 2, or FTB) at the same time.
Note that two small LEDS are situated near the left side of the T-Bar – one at each
extreme of its stroke. When a transition is in progress (or is halted partway), one
LED is illuminated. This LED marks which direction to push the T- to complete the
current transition.
L OCAL T AKE /A UTO
Local Take and Auto buttons are provided for DSK 1 and DSK 2, but not FTB. These
perform a cut or transition respectively, affecting only the corresponding switcher
layer.
Hint: When a DSK layer is fully displayed on Program out, its local Take button (on the
Live Desktop as well as the control surface) remains lit.
22.4.6 M/E GROUP
This section of the control surface corresponds to the tabbed M/E panes on the Live
Desktop. The M/E DELEGATE button group determines which M/E (from the four or
eight available) is being controlled.
