Hello everyone and welcome to NewTek Tuesday Tutorials. I am your host Richard Evans make
sure that you like, comment and subscribe. Today I'm going to show you how to delegate the stripes
on a TriCaster control surface. Now this is really helpful when trying to control multiple
aspects of your show like mix effects or expand the number of inputs available to switch between.
So let's dive in and take a look. Alright so I'm going to start off in the TriCaster TC1
interface and you'll see here at the bottom this is going to be my program row here on the top
and then beneath that is going to be my preview row on the bottom so I have access to my inputs
1 through 16 here along with my DDRs, graphics bins and mix effects and if I click over to
my bank number two that will give me access to my different buffers to display on my program output
along with my DDRs, graphics and mix effects as well. All right so now let's move over
to my camera which is showing off my two stripe control panel here, pretty dang cool
and I'm just going to focus on this stripe here at the bottom. Okay so you'll see here on this row on
the top part of this directly beneath the LEDs is going to be my program row and if I click on these
buttons just cycle between inputs three four and five like that if I go back over to my interface
you'll notice here on the bottom I'm gonna do that same action and that will switch between three
four and five. All right and then the same thing here on the bottom that's going to be a preview
row so that I can punch up say input number four here and then I can either hit the take button and
then that will just swap the particular inputs so three and four will swap and then swap them back
or I can use the auto button here to control the transition between those shots. So if I click on
that, then that will do that spiral transition that I have there back on my program output.
Okay so one thing that you'll notice here is I currently have selected well I currently have
set up on my two stripe control panel the bottom row here only goes through inputs 1 through 10
but doesn't show off my 11 through 16. So the way that I would access that is similar to how
you would on the banks of the interface itself by going through on my banks here but I have
some buttons here banks one two and three so if I click on two here that now gives me access to 11
through 16 along with my graphics so black, buffer one DDR etc and if I click on bank number three
that gives me access to all my different buffers here as well so you can switch between those.
Now I want to mention here if you take a look at the top, currently I have this
set up to be my mix effects number three and when I click on this bank button that will then
cycle between those same inputs here etc. all right so that way if you say you're doing a show
within a show you can use your top stripe to be assigned to a completely different show so you can
use your mix effect number three as say another mix to send out to have a completely different
show using the same inputs and sending out to say like a digital signage projector yada yada which
happens all the time. Okay but yeah so I'm gonna put this back to how I had it but let's say that
we're running a pretty big show here and I just want to use the the main switcher here but I want
to have access to all of these without necessarily going through and pressing these bank buttons to
switch between my inputs. So to do that what we need to do is a little bit of delegation here
so to do that what I want to do is I want to have my top stripe and my bottom stripe be on the same
mixer so to do that all I'll need to do is click on delegate stripe here on my control panel
and when I do that you'll notice now my LEDs light up to say that I can have these either
assigned to my main my main program row or to my mix effects previz or even your mix one two
three and four which is pretty convenient as well. All right but what I wanna do here is I
wanna have this stripe and this stripe both be main. So to do that I will keep holding down
my delegate stripe button and then I'm going to press this button here to make that main
and when I've done that now you see that the LEDs here on the side light up and they both say main
and if i let go now these are assigned to the exact same stripe so no matter what I press
here if I go to input number four here on the bottom it'll do the same thing on the top etc
and again you have your stripe here at the top so now these two are echoing the same thing. So
I can even use the take buttons here to switch between my different shots or the transitions
etc or even the T-bar if you want to do it by hand kind of up to you how you want to do it. All right
but what I want to do now is I want to delegate this to where this will show my inputs 1 through
10 here, these DDRs and then I want to have this one continue those different inputs so to
do that this is where it gets pretty fun is I can click control and alt and hold that down and when
I do that you'll see now it's giving me access to bank one two and three both here on the top
and on the bottom. So I want to leave these at the top being one through 10 and have this one
at the bottom be 11 through 16. So to do that I will click on bank number two here on the key
and now check it out now I have my top rows going to be my inputs 1 through 10 and the bottom row
will be my inputs 11 through 16. So I can have them delegated however O want
and now check this out if I start to go through and cycle between these on my different banks
you'll notice that the one on top will change but the bottom one remains the same because
that action I did locked it into place all right so to undo that you would hold ctrl and alt on
your control surface down and then just deselect what you had here so get rid of that and it goes
back to normal and if I press on the bank buttons we are back to how you want it to be so a lot of
different configurations you can do with this it's really up to you how you want to have your control
panel set up but really great for some tactile feel of being able to punch in different inputs
etc just depending on how you want to operate your TriCaster giving you the freedom to build your
show how you want. So as you can see delegating really expands the capabilities of your control
surface to control all aspects of your show now if you like this video and are looking for
