TriCaster, however, includes dynamic audio re-sampling for each input. Genlocking of SDI
audio/video sources is not a requirement. Still, genlocking sources and TriCaster to a
house reference signal, or genlocking the cameras directly to the TriCaster output is
encouraged (to genlock cameras, see your camera manual).

Locking all devices to house sync is important, but this alone does not actually ensure
a perfect downstream match. Consider an army marching along: each step the
soldiers take occurs at precisely the same moment, so we could say their timing is
synchronized. Even so – problems result if one soldier leads with the left foot while
everyone else is on the right. Or perhaps everyone is evenly spaced and perfectly
aligned but for one misfit who 'tailgates' the soldier ahead of him and keeps stepping
on his heels.
This is essentially why TriCaster provides several adjustments in its Genlock section.
The Horizontal and Vertical Position settings pin the image in the proper space in the
frame, and in doing so could be likened to making sure each marching soldier is in
position relative to his fellows (as viewed from above).

The Phase setting ensures proper color alignment, corresponding to making sure
everyone is on the left or right foot at the same time.

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.
