17.6.2 AIRSEND™ AND YOUR CONTROL SURFACE
For your convenience, a set of AirSend commands have been pre-assigned to
TriCaster 8000CS, 860CS and 460CS. Details can be found in the individual section
of Chapter 22 (Control Surfaces) dealing with each of these external control
surfaces.
SECTION 17.7 REMOTE CONTROL
(TriCaster 8000 only) In high-end broadcast applications and multimedia
production environments, it can sometimes be quite important for redundant
TriCaster systems to be operating synchronously.
FIGURE 296
The Options menu (Live Desktop Dashboard) contains the item Control System(s)
Remotely. Selecting a suitable TriCaster 8000 unit in this menu checkmarks it;
subsequently, the all command operations given to the local unit are echoed to the
controlled TriCaster, which will follow along submissively.
Tip: Mirrored systems should be running identical software versions, specifically Rev.1c
or better.
17.7.1 ‘TWINNING’ TRICASTERS
For most purposes, media content and all initial control states of both local and
controlled systems must be absolutely identical in order for remote control (a.k.a.,
‘mirroring’) to work as expected. Thankfully, achieving this ‘twinned’ state is not
that difficult.
