Chapter 7 THE DASHBOARD
TriCaster’s Dashboard groups important production features and system display controls
in one convenient place for quick access and review.
As well, the Dashboard serves to provide information on the current session, status
updates and storage usage, along with timecode and the TriCaster Options menu.
TriCaster’s Dashboard is home to a number of important displays, tools and controls. Prominently located at
the very top of the Live Desktop, the Dashboard occupies the full width of the screen.
