SECTION 5.2 THE HOME PAGE
Having discussed sessions, let’s go on to consider how
sessions are created, and how you choose which one to
work on. These items, along with a few other top level
functions, are found in the TriCaster’s Home Page.
This primary screen is the first thing you encounter on
launching TriCaster. It is dominated by the icon ring
shown in Figure 5-2.
When you click an icon on the ring (such as New or
Open), that item advances to the front-most position.
Hint: Alternatively, you can use the keyboard’s left and right arrow keys to cycle through the icons on the
ring.
Choosing an icon from the ring also updates the right-hand pane of the Home Page to provide options and
controls related to your choice.
For example, the first thing you will likely do on launching a new TriCaster is create a session. In anticipation
of that, the New icon is automatically pre-selected whenever no sessions already exist on TriCaster. This
results in the relevant session options being displayed at right, as shown in Figure 5-3 (Multi-standard
TriCaster options shown).
5.2.1 NEW (SESSION)
As just mentioned, clicking New on the icon ring populates the pane
at right with related options.
Principally, for each session you must designate (by selecting
switches) your local video standard.
Select NTSC, PAL or NTSC-J
Select a session format such as 1080i, 720p, etc. (or
PAL format equivalent).
* TriCaster Mini HDMI models do not offer interlaced SD formats.
** TriCaster Mini SDI does not offer progressive SD formats.
SESSION NAME
You will see a name field for your session listed above the options
pane at right (Figure 5-4). You can click in this field to modify the
default name (the current date) using the keyboard.
