8.2.3 FRAME SYNC
FIGURE 133 (TRICASTER 8000)
TriCaster internal Frame Sync is enabled for all sources by default, allowing you to
work with a wide array of potential video sources without concerns about video
timing. For TriCaster 8000 (only), it is possible to ensure the very lowest possible
throughput latency for genlocked sources by disabling Frame Sync.
Sources with Frame Sync disabled must be genlocked, and further, must be 'in phase'
(within 180° of the current switcher output); otherwise, video from the source will
simply not be visible.
In practice, then, disable Frame Sync for your genlocked sources, adjust the Phase
setting (see Section 8.1.2) until video is displayed and you should be all set.
Note: If Frame Sync is enabled or disabled for one source in a 'Fill + Alpha' input pair, the
Frame Sync setting for the corresponding input channel is automatically updated to match.

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.
