21. Move the mouse to the extreme left of the screen to open the MEM slot bin for
DDR 1.
22. Click an empty MEM slot, and use the + (Add Media) button to populate its
playlist.
23. Switch back and forth between presets, noting as you do how various
attributes are retained.
Hint: Right-click a MEM slot to open a context menu offering a number of useful features,
including Rename.
24. Try copying and pasting playlist icons between two MEM slot (right-click to
access the context menu containing Cut, Copy and Paste).
Note: Selecting a new MEM slot does not interrupt playback when it is underway. You can
preview and modify a different playlist while the active one plays. See Section 11.2.4 for
details.
TriCaster provides dedicated graphics players (labeled GFX 1 and 2) for displaying
still images and titles, including TriCaster's native (live-editable) title pages. Different
TriCaster models provide either one or two such dedicated players.
Graphics players are quite similar to the DDRs, just discussed, but do not provide full
motion clip playback. Otherwise, the type of media files they support remains largely
the same.
All of these Media Players, regardless of title, can display TriCaster title pages and
most if not all popular still image file formats.
Hint: The DDRs can play all of the above media types as well as video clips and sound
files.
The controls of the graphics players are identical to those of the DDR apart from the
omission of a playback Speed control (which would be superfluous and possibly
confusing). Rather than cover these again, let's have a little fun:

Can the switcher have a background still with PPT slides over top rightside of frame, and then have live camera feed on left?

Yes, the NewTek TriCaster Mini can display a background still with PowerPoint slides on the right side of the frame and a live camera feed on the left. It supports compositing live and video-on-demand inputs, including PowerPoint slides from a connected computer. The system allows for chroma key operations and mixing multiple video sources, enabling such a layout.

my tricaster only has one KEY option and two DSK options and 4 Mix Effect options. is there a way to add more of these items into my tricaster layout?

The TriCaster Mini includes Key layers in M/Es, which function similarly to Downstream Key (DSK) layers but are embedded upstream in the Mix Effect (M/E) output. However, the provided context does not mention the ability to add more KEY, DSK, or Mix Effect options beyond what is already available in the system.

Thank you for answering my question. There is a buzz on the output of our Tricaster410. Not sure why this is happening now.

A possible cause of a buzz or distortion on the output of a NewTek TriCaster Mini could be incorrect audio gain settings in the Output Configuration. Specifically, the gain controls for STREAM 1 and STREAM 2 may need to be adjusted. Setting the gain to -20 can eliminate distortion and align the output level with the TriCaster MASTER.
