selection) or indirectly – such as by being displayed via an M/E channel or DSK
operation.
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.
11.2.4 MEM SLOTS
Another very useful feature of all TriCaster Media Players is the MEM Slot Bin, which
provides quick and convenient access to stored playlists. As mentioned back in
Section 4.9.1, MEM slots also store the state of various Media Player controls. To
display the bin, roll the mouse pointer to the (nearest) side of the screen in a tabbed
Media Player or the Audio tab (for Sound and Audio, MEM slots are presented on the
left only).
When you change playlists by selecting another MEM slot, it’s almost as though you
are accessing another Media Player. Use MEM slots for quick access to different
categories of content for use during a live
presentation, playlists prepared for different clients,
or for completely different programs you produce.
MEM slots can be named, and also display a small
representative image (taken from the first entry in the
playlist). As you move the mouse over a MEM slot icon
it expands, providing an enlarged view of that playlist
item’s first frame. To populate a new MEM slot, simply click a blank icon.
To name a MEM slot, right-click it to open a context menu, and select Rename. Other
menu options include Delete, Export and Import (the file will be saved with the
extension ‘.pst’).
