In some studio settings, however, more elaborate hardware failsafe systems may be
in use. Typically, such systems take over broadcast duties whenever the output signal
fails. In such cases, TriCaster's failsafe video passthrough mechanism (which ensures
that video output continues even in catastrophic circumstances) can actually prevent
the external system from engaging.
For this reason, a Failsafe section has been added to Output Configuration. Its sole
raison d'être is to provide a switch allowing you to disable the A/V passthrough when
necessary. By default, A/V passthrough is off.
Hint: Only use fail-safe when a stable video source is connected to video Input 8.
SECTION 8.2 INPUT CONFIGURATION
FIGURE 131 (TRICASTER 8000 SHOWN)
TriCaster's input monitors have contextual tools that appear when you roll the mouse
pointer over in the footer (that is, the titlebar below each monitor). In every case, the
right-most button is a Configure button (gear). Clicking it opens the Configuration
panel for a specific source (Figure 131).

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.
