T-BAR INDICATORS
TriCaster’s onscreen main T-Bar always snaps back to the top at the end of a
transition. This is not true, of course, for the T-Bar on the control surface. To help
you know what will result from moving the physical T-Bar, observe that there are
green LEDs located near either end of its stroke. Normally, one of these is lit to
indicate the direction the T-Bar should be moved to complete the last operation or
perform a new one.
In some cases, transition operations can result in the onscreen T-Bar and its control
surface counterpart being out of synch with one another. In such cases one of the
LEDs begins to flash, and the T-Bar is deactivated. It will remain in this state until it is
moved fully to one end of its stroke, re-synchronizing it with the user interface.
Afterward, the T-Bar resumes control over the delegated sources.
SECTION 22.6 TIMEWARP™
This chapter discusses the use of two
NewTek TimeWarp™ control surfaces in
two variants. Both models (TriCaster™
860TW and its predecessor, TW-42) add
convenient slow motion instant replay to
the already potent capability of your
TriCaster system.
TriCaster 860TW has the same sleek
profile as TriCaster 460 CS and TriCaster
860 CS. Of course it delivers the same
precise control over TriCaster’s instant replay recording and live playback when used
alone. The TW-42 model, though designed for use with earlier TriCasters, continues
to provide great functionality.
For the most part, both TimeWarp™ models have similar controls, with similar labels,
and perform in much the same manner. For that reason, in the discussion which
follows we will focus on the newer TriCaster 860TW, simply giving you a friendly
heads-up whenever we discuss an item where TW-42 varies from its newer sibling.
