Even if you are the hands-on, never-ask-directions type, please peruse this page. If
any questions about your TriCaster arise later, you may find the information here
allows you to jump directly to the details you need with a minimum of reading.
PART I – GETTING STARTED
Introduction to TriCaster™: connecting devices (cameras, monitors, etc.)
and registration, ending with the Live Production Walkthrough – a brisk
jog through fundamentals, a bit less than 60 pages.
PART II – REFERENCE
This section covers every arcane detail related to using TriCaster (for
those who need it, and those who just like to know everything).
PART III – APPENDICES
Leads off with a handy section titled "How do I ...?", a helpful question and
answer section with its own brief index. When you have a specific need,
you may well find a quick answer here, along with cross references to more
detailed information when appropriate.
Appendix D lists all shortcut keys. You will also find a comprehensive
keyword index in Part III.
Note: Consistency of layout, controls and features is a noteworthy attribute of the
professional TriCaster family. This makes it easy for you to move between TriCaster
models without either a significant learning curve or errors, and also lets us reveal
them in a single manual. Model differences are noted in this Guide where necessary
by remarks such as "TriCaster 8000 only","8-input models only", etc.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual tells you everything you need to know to use your
TriCaster™, and occasionally, even more. It attempts to convey
essential information in a friendly, concise way, while also
providing a deeper reference section you can turn to when you
really need all of the relevant details.

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.
