GlobeCaster
Swi t che r M anu al
Auto
Generally speaking, triggers the current effect. More
specifically, its behavior is dependent on which of the
effect controls is selected:
If
Mix
is selected,
Auto
performs a simple dissolve.
If
FX
is selected, pressing
Auto
performs whatever
transitional effect is loaded as the current
FX
.
If
DSK
has been selected,
Auto
brings up the image
loaded as the current
DSK
.
Some effects pause or loop in the middle of the effect.
If this is the case, click the
Auto
button again to end
the effect. The keyboard shortcut for
Auto
is the space
bar. The numerical window above the
Auto
button is
the number of frames in the selected effect. If an effect
has a modifiable length, it can be changed by simply
clicking on the numerical display and entering a new
value.
Fade
The master
Fade to black
button fades Program Out to
black. This happens downstream of everything else
inside of GlobeCaster, so it leaves effects and graphics
loaded but not showing. This gives an easy way to
come back from a commercial break with an effect still
running. The time it takes to fade to black can be
adjusted by changing the number of frames listed in
the
Fade
speed display above the
Fade
button. The
keyboard command for the
Fade
button is the
Page
Down
key.
Stop
Immediately stops any
DSK
or
FX
. The keyboard
command for the
Stop
button is the
Escape
key.
T-Bar
A graphic representation of the physical control on a
switcher. By dragging this bar up or down, whatever
effect or DSK is selected is controlled manually. The
faster the T-bar is pulled, the faster the effect runs. The
T-bar is especially useful for pausing midway through
an effect.
