Chapter 5 THE STARTUP SCREEN

The TriCaster™ Startup Screen is the gateway to a suite of applications as well as maintenance and management features for both sessions and the system.

We’ll discuss each of these in the pages that follow, beginning with a review of the concept of sessions.

The Startup Screen’s Home Page appears whenever you launch TriCaster™.

From here, you create and launch sessions, then choose what sort of operations you wish to pursue within the current session by making a selection from an icon ring on the Session Page. Your intention may be to begin a new live production, or to produce another episode of a live series. Perhaps you wish to do prepare some title pages for an upcoming event, or perform system maintenance.

We’ll look into each of these in turn, but first let’s consider that fundamental TriCaster concept, the session. What is a session, and why are sessions both important and valuable to you?

Hint: Social Media accounts and other details related to TriCaster’s Share Media features are configured using controls in the Startup screen’s titlebar. These matters are considered in Chapter 19, Publish.
