LIVE PRODUCTION WALKTHROUGH

Chapter 4

This chapter provides a quick hands-on tour of the major

components and functions of your NewTek TriCaster™. In a very

short time, these basics will be second nature to you.

More detailed reference material on all aspects of TriCaster
follows in Part II (Reference).


Having made the essential external connections in the previous section, let’s start
your first TriCaster™ session, and skim through some important fundamentals:

Startup and Import

Monitoring and related features.

Audio mixing (and the Follow feature).

Network sources.

Switching between video sources, and using transitions.

Program output and recording.

Playing stored clips using the DDR (‘Digital Disk Recorder’).

Adding (and editing) title pages and graphics.

Using an M/E to create a simple chromakey effect.

Configuring a LiveSet (virtual set) shot.

Using Buffers

Streaming to the Internet.

SECTION 4.1 CREATING A SESSION

We ran through the basics of starting new sessions and configuring input and output
devices in sections Section 3.10 through Section 3.14. If you need to review this
information, go ahead and do so now. (We’ll look at them individually again later in
Part II (Reference), too.)

1. In the initial Startup Screen, create a new 1080i session - name it “Practice

Session”.
