17. With DDR 1 on Program, and Camera 1 on Preview, highlight a fairly long
clip (say, a minute or more).
18. Click Play.
19. After a few seconds, perform a Take and watch what happens:
a. Naturally, DDR 1 and Camera 1 are swapped on the Switcher.
b. DDR playback is stopped at the current frame of the current clip.
20. Perform another Take.
a. As expected, DDR 1 is restored to Program output.
b. Playback re-commences at the next frame of the current clip; DDR 1
did not automatically jump ahead to the next clip this time.
You may find Single mode your favorite way to use Media Players, but it can be
useful to turn it off (as just described) at other times. Perhaps a live speaker is
presenting a long clip, but wants to be free to interrupt it with live commentary at
any time. Turning Single off (with Autoplay on) works perfectly in this scenario.
The TriCaster operator can click Take or Auto freely, confident DDR playback will
resume at precisely the right frame.
MEM SLOTS
Let’s consider one more powerful feature common
to TriCaster’s Media Players – the MEM slot bin.
MEM slot bins run vertically down the outer edges of
the various Media Player and Audio modules,
providing instant access to custom playlists and
configurations.
Normally hidden, the bins fly out when you move
the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen.
