TriCaster’s Live Desktop replicates traditional video switcher controls in easy to comprehend and use fashion. It provides numerous transitions that you can use to add interest when changing scenes, four independent downstream overlay channels, and some very useful automation.


When the M/E pane is minimized , the central band of the TriCasterâ„¢ Live Desktop (between the upper monitoring section and the tabbed modules below) is taken up by the Switcher and related controls and features, including the Layer Controls, which include main and DSK channel Transition controls and configuration features (Figure 151).
