13. Click the first entry in both playlists (to set the current position).

14. Press DDR 1’s Play button, and watch the ‘hands-free’ slideshow.

Let’s consider what is happening:

When playback of the first DDR playlist entry reaches its end:

o The DDR’s Autoplay setting invokes an automatic BKGD layer transition to Still
o And stops DDR 1 playback
o Then, unseen on Program output, cues up its next playlist item.

Simultaneously, the Graphics (Still) player’s Autoplay setting initiates playback of its first
playlist entry.

When playback of that item is reached:

o The Graphics (Still) player’s Autoplay function performs another transition,

returning DDR 1 to the Program row

o And stops Graphics (Still) playback
o Then, unseen on Program output, the Graphics (Still) player cues up its next

playlist entry.

Next, DDR 1’s Autoplay setting automatically starts playing its next playlist item. The
cycle repeats until all items play through or is interrupted by user actions.

TITLE

TriCaster title pages can actually be added to any of the Media Players (apart from the Sounds
player). The Media Players can also display bitmap files exported from third-party graphics
applications (or overlay them using the DSKs when the files are either keyed or have an
embedded alpha channel) – all of which is quite handy. However, TriCaster’s native title pages
have some distinct advantages over a common still image. Let’s try them out:

1. Click Add, and use the Media Browser to select a few of the prepared title pages from

the NewTek location listed under Titles in the Location List at left.
