NewTek TriCaster 8000 - Manual (Page 308)

When examined in TriCaster’s Macro Editor, a typical macro entry of this type might
look as follows:
Delay (ms) Shortcut Value Key 1 Value 1
0 net1 clip_play speed .5
The shortcut “net1” defines which Network Input will be addressed.
Additional entries on the same line constitute an instruction that will be performed
when the macro is executed.
 The Value “clip_play” commands the target source to play the currently
selected clip (in our example, the current clip selected on 3Play’s channel A)
 The Key 1 entry “speed” sets the playback speed to the value which follows
next on the line, “.5” in our example. This will cause playback to occur at
50% speed.
It is entirely possible to create more complex macros that combine AirSend
commands of the sort just mentioned
17.6.1 DEFAULT AIRSEND COMMANDS
As mentioned earlier, the macro shortcut entry “net1” addresses a controllable
network source connected to the first network input on a NewTek live production
system. TriCaster has a second network input, which you can send commands to
using the shortcut entry “net2”.
The AirSend API also allows third-party developers to implement custom
commands suited to their requirements. These, when provided, can be used in
macros just like ‘NewTek native’ commands, even benefiting from the same
automatic communication channel configuration. Documentation supplied with
third-party products will provide information on custom commands that have been
included.
