Second, if player output is displayed on Program the reverse Switcher transition occurs automatically as the
end of play approaches, whether the Out Point of the current item for Single play or the end of the playlist.
(This behavior is optional for M/Es – see Options in Section 14.2 and Section 7.1.)

Note: Unlike Switcher transitions, the DSK ‘out’ effect does not occur automatically as the end of play approaches.

In either case, when the Media Player is in Single mode, the current play position advances to the next item
after playback is automatically stopped.

SHOW ON (…)

Another extremely powerful feature is nestled beside just to the left of Autoplay in the footer of TriCaster
Advanced Edition Media Players.

Labeled SHOW ON PGM, by default, this feature can actually target M/Es as well (Figure 134) as the Program
row of the main Switcher. It provides unique playback and display abilities that make instant replay a thing
of joy, as well as serving other purposes.

Click the configuration button (gear) beside the SHOW ON button to display the panel seen in Figure 134.

FIGURE 134

The largest part of this panel contains transition bins for custom In and Out transitions which will be used to
display the current clip. Select Custom from the Transition In/Out menus to activate these bins. Otherwise,
you can select Cut or Current options.

Note that the bin content displayed is synced with the Background transition bin for the target video bus, be
it PGM or a designated M/E. Thus selecting Current uses the current selection in the Background transition
bin of the target.

Hint: Unlike other transition bins in TriCaster’s interface, these icons do not show a “+” sign gadget on rolling the
mouse over them. To replace the effect in slot, modify the content of the Background transition bin of the target
you have selected for SHOW ON.

Once configured, clicking the SHOW ON (…) button will do the following:

Swap the current BG transition for the main Switcher or a designated M/E out for a custom animatino
store (such as "Replay!")
