Next, use the Destination field drop-down to designate a target folder for exported
files to be sent. A progress gauge is shown during file processing. Click the Export
button at the bottom of the dialogue to begin batch export processing.
Hint: The time an export takes is affected by numerous factors – the number, duration and
resolution of the selected files, the speed of the device selected as target for the files, the
designated format, and so on.
It is generally unwise to commence a file export shortly before a live event, since you
cannot launch TriCaster's Live Desktop during export. If necessary, you can cancel the
current export operation.
Clicking the Backup Session button opens a system file explorer that you can use to
assign a storage location for the backup files. Backup operations can take some time,
depending on the amount of content in the session.
For obvious reasons, then, it would be wise not to begin a major backup operation
shortly before a scheduled live production. A progress gauge is displayed during
processing, and if necessary you may Cancel the operation. Of course, the session to
be backed up is the current session (to back up a different session, return to the Home
Page and Open a different session.
The backup operation feature will determine whether all media used in the session is
local (i.e., located in folders named for that session), or whether some content is
external – stored in other places on your system, and included in the session using
Add Media Location, or from folders belonging to other sessions. If all session media
is local the backup proceeds without further interruption.

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.

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.
