Hint: These four buttons are also ‘action buttons’ – that is, pushing one of them has an immediate effect (but unlike
a radio button, the operation is complete on release, and does not remain in force).

PLAY SPEED

As you would expect, the speed preset buttons in this group
(marked 25%, 33%, 50%, 75% and 100%) govern the playback
rate of the active DDR.

Speed preset buttons are mutually exclusive, and establish a
playback mode. They do not initiate playback; rather, the playback
speed you choose is applied when subsequently press Play.

(If a DDR is already playing, pushing a speed preset button alters
the current playback speed immediately.)

Hint: If you use an onscreen speed control to change to a new playback speed, the control surface button selection
state follows when possible (in cases where no button corresponds exactly to the newly established speed, no
preset button will be illuminated).

The speed T-Bar works in similar fashion to the preset buttons, but provides a smoothly variable approach
to setting playback speed.

MARKING GROUP

The IN and OUT buttons in this group allow you to indicate the In points and Out points
for events you wish to record for later replay.

IN

Pressing IN actually performs several related functions. First, remember that TriCaster must be in Record
mode for any instant replay marking purpose.

For this reason, if you should happen to push the IN button before enabling recording, it is enabled
automatically (illuminating the interface Record button just as if you had pressed it on the screen).

With Record active, an In Point is set for the current clip that will eventually be stored (when you press OUT)
in the currently delegated DDR (see Section 22.6.3).
