Tricaster Contol Surface - How do you change button assignments for advanced edition

[John Freedom]

I have a TC460 with a 460 Control Surface.

I upgraded to advanced edition. NDI from a TC mini is assigned to Camera 5.

How could I remap the keys on the control surface so when I select NET 1 (for example) I would actually get Cam 5?

You can't remap the CS, but it has been done for you. The manual has tables showing the revised layouts of all surfaces.

What Steve said but I'm curious, if you select Net1 it should already give you input5 and NET2 should give you input6. You are not getting these results?

On the 460CS with AE2, NET1 and NET2 give you Buffer 1 and Buffer 2.

Ah did not know that, thank you.

Out of curiousity - what triggered the switch? With a sport application in mind many would've previously brought in 3play or livetext sources over the NET 1 & 2. Now the sources are brought in through 5 & 6 but unable to be triggered without a macro through the control surface unless a 860 or 8000 surface is used. Buffer 1 & 2 seem out of place as these would more often be utilized through a DSK. At least in my case....

All the sources are available form the CS using the CS's Shift key:

The updated mapping for all surfaces for use with any TriCaster is shown in the manual.

Is it possible to change the labels on the keys? Either by sending it back to Newtek or getting someone to do it? I'm guessing its just a printed plastic key so not beyond the realms of possibility. X Keys can be changed in and out for example.

With our digital audio desks the LCD labels change according to how they are programmed and according to what the desk is doing. I am guessing that this is the future of the Tricaster CS?

A cheaper mid point solution might be the rubber overlays that you can buy for laptops when using Premier Pro, FCP etc. Maybe that could have all of the new mapping on it and then overlay that on the CS? Just a thought.

Don't make any sense... the NET inputs on the past are for iVGA that have been replaced by NDI. So the normal is to NET1 and NET2 become NDI1 and NDI2.

[joseburgos]

I believe Kane was describing that you can make them buffers. You have inputs now and you choose what you want in that input.

After install the AE the NET1 and NET2 become Buffers BFR1 and BFR2 and by normal way you can't change that...

[joseburgos]

No you can change any input

[Joaosantos]

No you can change any input

How? In the software?

[joseburgos]

Yes on the Live interface. Click on the inputs preview windows settings gear to make changes
