Chapter 1 ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual tells you everything you need to know to use your TriCaster™, and occasionally, even more. It attempts to convey essential information in a friendly, concise way, while also providing a deeper reference section you can turn to when you really need all of the relevant details.



Even if you are the hands-on, never-ask-directions type, please peruse this page. If any questions about your TriCaster arise later, you may find the information here allows you to jump directly to the details you need with a minimum of reading.


PART I – GETTING STARTED

Introduction to TriCaster™: connecting devices (cameras, monitors, etc.) and registration, ending with the Live Production Walkthrough – a brisk jog through fundamentals, a bit less than 60 pages.


PART II – REFERENCE

This section covers every arcane detail related to using TriCaster (for those who need it, and those who just like to know everything).


PART III – APPENDICES

Leads off with a handy section titled “How do I …?“, a helpful question and answer section with its own brief index. When you have a specific need, you may well find a quick answer here, along with cross references to more detailed information when appropriate.

Appendix D lists all shortcut keys. You will also find a comprehensive keyword index in Part III.


Note: Consistency of layout, controls and features is a noteworthy attribute of the professional TriCaster family. This makes it easy for you to move between TriCaster models without either a significant learning curve or errors, and also lets us reveal them in a single manual. Model differences are noted in this Guide where necessary by remarks such as “TriCaster 8000 only”,”8-input models only”, etc.
