FIGURE 178
Again, by default, the Live Desktop also prominently displays the Look Ahead Preview
monitor (labeled simply Preview).
The Look Ahead Preview is versatile and powerful. Instead of showing just one video
source (the Preview row selection), it displays the composite result of a Take
operation applied to all currently delegated video layers (see the sub-heading
Transition Delegates in Section 9.3.2).
Selecting the BKGD delegate tells TriCaster you intend the next transition to
swap the Program and Preview layers. The Preview monitor will show the
Preview row selection as its background.
When the BKGD delegate is not active, the BKGD layer will not change during
a transition. Consequently, in this case the Preview and Program monitors
share identical backgrounds.
Delegated DSK layers are shown above the background on Preview according
to their current state. That is, if a delegated DSK layer is currently displayed
on Program output it does not appear on Preview – since the next transition
would remove it.
In other words, 'what you see is what you will get' – after performing the next Take or
Auto operation as currently configured. This lets you set up the next shot, check its

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.
