Naturally,

you

can

store

multiple sessions and re-open
them freely. This greatly
simplifies business models that
involve regular trips to specific
remote sites or a number of
unique episodic programs, and
easily accommodates different
users with their own individual
requirements and preferences.

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
92.
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.
