17.1.4 SPEEDEDIT DESKTOP

TriCaster™ launches SpeedEDIT on a desktop of its own, spanning all connected monitors. You
can exit SpeedEDIT by clicking the [x] button in the upper-right corner of the desktop, or by using
the File men item Close.

If you have a secondary monitor connected to TriCaster™, you can drag SpeedEDIT’s Video
Output
window (opened from the Window menu) onto that screen, then maximize it by double-
clicking inside the preview area (double-clicking a second time restores the standard floating
window).

Similarly, you might find it convenient to maximize the SpeedEDIT window to fill the primary
monitor display. To do this, double-click the window border. In this configuration, the Desktop
exit button is not available, but you can exit the application using the File menu’s Close item.

17.2 LIVETEXT

LiveText projects are launched from the Session Page in TriCaster’s Startup Screen. After creating
a new session or opening an existing one, click Graphics on the icon ring (see Section 5.3). This
reveals options and links at right, discussed previously in the Startup Screen chapter just
mentioned.

17.2.1 SESSIONS, PROJECTS AND DISPLAY

LiveText uses the current session settings for output to TCXD850 video outputs, new projects
(created within the LiveText File menu or from the Session Page) and bitmap file exports. If you
use the File menu to Open a project whose settings do not correspond to the current session
settings, TriCaster™ will attempt to display it on its hardware video outputs, if possible.

LiveText sends output from the canvas to TriCaster’s outputs continuously while running. For
this reason, the Live Display pane and associated tools that appear at upper-right (above the
Pages Panel) in LiveText standalone do not appear in TriCaster’s LiveText interface.
