Multi-standard TriCaster PAL connection type

TriCaster optionally allows one or more neighboring pairs of video inputs to be
combined as a single 'video + alpha' channel (sometimes also referred to as "fill and
matte").
The ability to configure one input as the alpha
channel source for another is absolutely
invaluable for installations employing video
feeds
from
high
chromakeying systems (such as Chyron® and
Ultimatte® ).
To use this feature, select Act as Alpha Channel
for Input (#) as the Connection Type in the Input
Configuration panel for an even-numbered input.
Note: The input configuration (video format and connection type) for the alpha input is
automatically configured to match the fill source it is paired with.

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.
