A wide variety of sources can be supplied to Net 1 and 2, making these two inputs
exceptionally versatile and powerful.
To cover these capabilities fully, we've dedicated all of Chapter 16 (Network Inputs)
to the topic. We'll just mention here that both of these inputs provide TriCaster's full
gamut of creative controls, including Proc Amps, LiveMatte, Edge control, Tracking,
Hotspots, and so-on (see Section 8.2). Some sources even support embedded audio
across the network, which is why you will find Net 1 and 2 represented in the Audio
Mixer, too (Section 15.6.1).
SECTION 8.4 TIMECODE CONFIGURATION
FIGURE 146
Hint: You can set TriCaster's system clock as for any computer by exiting to the Windows®
Desktop.
Most TriCasters can optionally use an external linear
timecode (LTC) reference to drive its clocks, and
timecode for capture (TriCaster 410, Mini SDI and
Mini do not support external timecode).
We'll discuss the shared timecode features first, and
then focus on the unique aspects of the LTC timecode
support (Section 8.4.3).
8.4.1 SUBTRACT 12 HOURS
The current time value is embedded in the frames of
Quicktime video files captured during the session
using TriCaster's Record function. For this reason, a
switch labeled Subtract 12 Hours is provided.
This option permits you to avoid confusion that might
arise when sequencing files based on timecode that 'wraps around' past midnight.
TriCaster can supply event time values based on the system
clock, when necessary. To access timecode options, click the
small gear icon next to the timecode display at right in Live
Desktop's Dashboard.

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.
