10.2.2 MULTI-CAM LIVESET

No doubt you’ll think of countless applications where LiveSet can make you shine like the pro
you are. Now that you’re making money ‘hand over fist’ with TriCaster and LiveSet, you’ll be able
to equip yourself with decent equipment, including more (and better?) cameras.

Hook up your cameras, and use LiveSet and the Input Setup panel to configure the different
camera angles and distances. Switch back and forth using the standard Switcher conventions, for
flawless straight cuts or elaborate 3D transitions.

Hint: don’t forget to calibrate each camera, as mentioned earlier, so there is no change in color as
you switch views!

Remember too, that all of TriCaster’s other
features remain at your service. For example, in
Figure 215, we see our anchor desk with the
addition of one of TriCaster’s great-looking text
templates masking the whole thing courtesy of
the Overlay panel.

It’s almost too much. 

10.2.3 CREATING YOUR OWN LIVESETS

Your system ships with a number of sample LiveSets, quite possibly some you will be able to use
immediately for you own purposes. Many, however, will surely want to take full creative
advantage of this powerful and versatile feature. LiveSet technology permits a dizzying array of
possibilities and applications. A series of custom LiveSet creation applications and plug-ins
ranging in power and accessibility from ‘easy as pie’ to ‘don’t try this at home, kiddies!’ have
been and released.
