Important Note: It's best to use files with straight (a.k.a. "non-premultiplied") alpha channels
in TriCaster's Media Players. Premultiplied files will generally not yield correct results when
overlaid on other imagery.
FIGURE 164
TriCaster's DSK layers offer a lot of creative possibilities. You might use DSK channels
to display a permanent station ID 'bug', superimpose a company logo onto a title page,
perhaps to add a 'spinning globe' animation playing in the DDR to a lower-third,
'frame' a keyed source composed over a title (Figure 164), or set up many other
elaborate effects in this manner.
In large measure, TriCaster's main Transition controls behave similarly to their local
sidekicks. What makes them especially powerful is the T-bar and Transition Delegate
button group located just above.
Transition control settings in this section apply to the Background video layer only.
In most respects, these tools are identical to the DSK transition controls discussed
earlier (Section 9.3.1), but there is one difference worth mentioning.
The Duration menu for the Background transition offers two additional items
compared to the similar menu in the DSK control groups:
Reverse – configures the current transition to run in reverse direction the next
time it is applied.

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.
