Thus, the Vert Position, Horiz Position and Phase settings allow you to tweak
synchronization to arrive at an optimum match between devices. Typically, these
settings are fine-tuned with the aid of a downstream Vectorscope and Waveform
Monitor. (A discussion of these adjustments goes beyond the scope of this manual,
but a quick online search for the keywords "genlock" and "adjust" turns up a number
of excellent references).

The 'bi-level' reference signal long used for standard definition television is often
used for genlocking both SD and HD installations.
However, if you are supplying an HD reference signal to TriCaster's Genlock Input
(and your other equipment), select the HD (Tri-level) switch in the Reference Type
area of TriCaster's Genlock settings.
Note: Reference Type options do not appear for SD sessions.
8.1.3 CENTER FREQUENCY
This setting is applied when a genlock reference signal is not in use. To adjust the
setting, supply color bars to an input and pass TriCaster's video output to a
downstream vectorscope. The vectorscope display is completely stable when Center
Frequency is properly adjusted.
Note: See also Section 8.2.3, Frame Sync .

TriCaster's multi-tiered 'Always on Air' hardware and software failsafe systems (see
Section 2.5.2) provide confidence that short of a complete power failure the show will
go on.

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.
