Are there any screencaps with static or dynamic data on a tricorder? I need the image or movie for a project I am working on.
Tricorder screens
- Thread starter Ronald Held
- Start date
I'm sure I'm forgetting some examples, but the only thing that comes to mind are the video playbacks in "City on the Edge of Forever" (the Nazi rallies, V2 launches and the newspaper headlines revealing Keeler's death). Everything else that I remember is implied through dialogue without any kind of optical insert of the screen.

Plato's Stepchildren?
I did mean data on the tricorder that I could use.
Watched some of"Miri". Only saw a blank screen on Spock's tricorder
Spock usually had the screen facing away from him too while 'scanning', very odd.
Yes but maybe the director wanted it oriented that way?
^ Regardless, it was very odd! He was scanning but holding the tricorder in such a way that he couldn't see the results. Perhaps it was because they figured the front of the tricorder was more visually interesting for the viewer than the back? However, I don't recall the other characters holding it that way as often as Spock.

As a Vulcan, Spock could time it just right that the data he wanted to see would appear on the screen just as he went to look at it, based on how he manipulated the controls.
Is trickster another word for tricorder?
Ah, now the thread title makes sense. It was likely an "auto-correct" glitch. Earlier, I was wracking my brain over that one.
I thought they said "Cash."
Did someone say Trickster?
Then again Spock does say he is a fool for not recording the years of historical fact passing by his eyes on The Guardian's doughnut in City on The Edge of Forever!

Yes I was done in by the autocorrect function on my phone.
Of course, the tricorder is recording the data for later playback. Spock may have been more concerned about hidden children than looking at the readings continuosly?
I was just assuming it was some TV production jargon that I wasn't familiar with....
