Hint: A template clip (Figure 21-72) is supplied in the Clips>NewTek folder (as are several looping sample
clips). You can use the template as a guide to prepare similar clips with content positioned correctly for
use with the Nightly Show set, using in the software of your choice.
To configure the effect:
1. Assign your talent shot to Input A in the M/E tab
2. Put the looping montage clip you prepared in a DDR, and select that DDR as Input B.
This particular set was designed to work with all TCXD model TriCasters, including those supporting just two
primary sources. For TriCaster 8000 (only), which adds C and D inputs in M/E panels, the set has been
updated as follows to provide more ability:
Input C targets the ‘virtual ticker’. Knowing this, you might for example use Input C’s positioner to
compose a LiveText feed (from a Network input) to correspond to the lower right quadrant of the
template clip (as seen in Figure 21-72 above). This would then be mapped to the ticker, allowing you
to update the virtual ticker remotely.
Input D is mapped to the virtual ‘control room monitor displays’. Position another source to conform
to any of the numbered input areas of the template clip to replace the corresponding ‘screen ‘in the
virtual control room. This allows you, for example, to send live video switched in another M/E to one
of these monitors.
Hint: To use the set as originally designed, simply assign one looping ‘montage clip’ (like the provided
samples) to all of inputs B, C an D.
A.3.4 SET UP THE ‘NIGHT BEAT 3D’ LIVESET?
Note: This effect requires TriCaster 8000, because it alone provides reentrant M/Es.
One of the sample LiveSets provided with TriCaster provides camera angles intended for use with the 3D
Anaglyph effect. Here’s how to set up the Night Beat 3D LiveSet for this purpose:
1. Select an unused M/E, and assign a keyed talent shot to Input A.
2. Assign another source, perhaps a full frame graphic, to Input B.
3. Click the button labeled Effect above the central Effect thumbnail.
