 Push SHIFT + SELECT to toggle the Ping Pong switch for the BKGD transition.
RATE
The RATE knob operates in similar fashion to SELECT. Rotate the knob to modify
the transition Rate for delegated layers. Or press the knob to cycle through the
standard Slow, Medium and Fast presets.
Hint: Multi-delegate selections are handled as for Select (for twist and push operations
alike).
FADE & TRANS
These two buttons provide a quick way to control the Transition Bin
selection for the delegated switcher layer(s). The FADE and TRANS
(Transition) buttons are mutually exclusive; selecting either one
cancels the other, and only the currently active button remains lit.
Pushing FADE offers a quick and convenient way to select the
Crossfade transition. Push the TRANS button to activate the last-used
transition icons for a video layer (or layers. For new sessions, TRANS
jumps to the first transition in the bin.
P ERFORMING T RANSITIONS
Just as in the user interface, the TriCaster control surface provides both local and
main transition controls.
M AIN T- BAR , TAKE AND AUTO
These controls correspond exactly to their Live Desktop counterparts, and affect all
currently delegated video layers (BKGD, DSK 1-4, or FTB) at the same time.
L OCAL TAKE & AUTO
Local Take and Auto buttons are provided for DSK 1 - DSK 4 (but not FTB). These
perform a cut or transition respectively, affecting only the corresponding switcher
layer.
