| The various modes and extensive module control allow for a vast range of implementations such as: automatic video input cycling, broadcast programming, timed automation, and much more. In addition to standard module control, other functions such as DDR (VCR) and VT-Edit (Edit Deck) project loading, and playlist repeat, add even more flexibility. Features - Date/Time based control of TriCaster modules via playlists
- Playlist Editor can create playlists on computers with/without a TriCaster, and can save playlists over a network.
- Multiple Player instances allow for simultaneous playlist playing
- Next Action display within the Player module's user interface
- Optional Repeat provides yearly (Date/Time), daily (Time), and multiple iteration (HMS) playback
- DDR (VCR), VT-Edit (Edit Deck), and Picture project loading
- Playlist chaining
- Event logging for Player (automatic) and Editor (optional)
The system consists of an Editor for creating/editing playlists on a local/networked Windows system, and a Player module for the TriCaster desktop. Schedules can be created in three Modes:
- Date / Time: Specific dates and times. Example: Jul 20, 2006 1:35:00 PM
- Time: Specific times, with optional Repeat. Example: 3:45:00 AM
- HMS: Time offsets from playback start, with optional Repeat. Example: 0h:12m:10s
Note that Scheduler does NOT make use of unreliable keyboard shortcut simulation to control modules. It directly controls the modules to ensure reliability. TriCaster Studio modules currently controllable include:
