Analog Out menu (not present on TriCaster 410,
Mini SDI, or Mini) – select the video connection
type for downstream devices you intend to
connect to the corresponding output:
o Component
o Composite + Y/C
Note: The only analog connection type suitable for HD video is Component. The Analog
Out menu for Outputs 1 and 2 are automatically set to Component and locked when the
current Resolution selection for the row is HD.
Choosing Component or Composite + Y/C results in the output connectors in
the corresponding row being configured as shown in the following table:

outputs in the same group are in use.

The Video source menu options for Output 2 include a switch labeled Alpha Matte.
This feature can be used independently, or supplement the Act as Alpha option
(discussed in Section 8.2.2).
An alpha matte can be automatically derived from suitable sources. It might be the
matte from a LiveMatte keyer effect, allowing Output 2 to support downstream
compositing of the full color source. Or, it could be drawn directly from an image or
Title Page in a Media Player. It could just pass-through the matter from an upstream
alpha channel source. Simply enable the switch in the Output Configuration panel, and
select a suitable source using the same menu.
Note: Generally, the source's Resolution should match session format when supplying an
Alpha Matte signal to downstream devices.

Questions and answers
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.
