provided for quick selection, shown
in Figure 156 (4-input models do not
require this control).
To replace an entry in the palette,
click its label, or move the mouse
pointer over an icon and click the "+"
sign that pops up – see Figure 156.
This opens the Custom Media Browser
to let you choose from the hundreds of transition
effects included with TriCaster, or even custom Animation Store effects that you
prepare using the included Animation Store Creator application.
The selected effect will replace the current one in the palette.
Hint: The frequently-used Fade transition is always available in transiiton palette. As it
cannot be replaced, no Configure button appears for its icon.
Transition durations are controlled independently on a 'per slot' basis, using a
numeric setting above the effect icon. You can drag the mouse pointer left or right
over the numeric display to set a custom time, or alternatively, click the numeric field
directly to enable keyboard entry.
Another approach to setting duration allows you to quickly select
a duration setting from the drop-down menu provided. The menu
provides convenient two, one and ½ second presets.
Hint: The direction of Transitions applied as DSK (and M/E Key) effects automatically
alternates. If the first click displays the layer using an effect, the next click removes it using
the reverse effect. This 'Ping Pong' behavior is optional for BKGD (Background) layer
transitions.
TriCaster can also employ special transition effects called Animation Stores. These
powerful effects normally include an embedded full color animated overlay, along
with individual sounds for transitioning in and out (transition sounds are optional;
also note that audio level control for Effects is provided in the Audio (mixer) tab).

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.
