Here are some other noteworthy facts related to output:
o For SD session formats, session aspect (4:3 or 16:9) is respected on output
(e.g., when the session is SD 16:9, video output is also 16:9).
o For HD sessions (which are always 16:9), SD video from Output 2 (and any
output set to Follow 2) can use either a 16:9 image aspect or as (side-cropped)
4:3 video, as noted earlier when discussing the Resolution menu.
Hint: TriCaster's Record feature can capture video from Output 2, as well as Output 1 (and
individual cameras). Output 2 is a particularly flexible choice for capture purposes,
providing many useful alternatives – see Chapter 20, Record and Grab.
These outputs (provided on a certain models) independently offer a subset of the
options available for Outputs 1 and 2. Video menu options include:
Cameras 1-(4 or 8)
Network input sources
Media Players
Buffers
Follow 1
Follow 2
Choosing either Follow 1 or Follow 2 transmits the same video source, at the same
resolution, as the 'followed' output. For SDI output only, audio from output 3 can
follow Output 1 or Output 2.
Note: The Analog Output menu for Output 3 always shows both Component and
Composite + Y/C options. (As you would expect, the latter options do not support HD
sources, and will fail if selected in that case.)
For 8-input TriCasters, Output 4 is labeled HDMI in the Output Configuration panel as
well as on TriCaster's rear connection panel. Otherwise it is simply labeled HDMI.
HDMI menu options are similar to those listed above; HDMI, naturally, does not
require analog connection options.

Do you have a question about the TriCaster Mini and is the answer not in the manual?
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.
