All professional model TriCasters bear a strong family resemblance. The user
interfaces of TriCaster Mini, Mini SDI, 410, 460 and 860 have a great deal in common
with the flagship system, TriCaster 8000. The latter, of course, has a number of
unique attributes and features, but many aspects of the workflow and user software
are intentionally very similar. Among other benefits, this makes it easy for TriCaster
users working with multiple machines to feel right at home and avoid errors.
Not so long ago, live high definition television production demanded very expensive
equipment, daunting technical skills, and a large crew. TriCaster™ changed all that.
In one compact system, it provides a complete set of tools you can use to create,
broadcast, web stream and project your production. TriCaster even includes
NewTek's latest edition of the famous LiveSet™ virtual set system to provide you with
network quality 'bigger than life' production capabilities.
TriCaster continues to raise the bar for live production systems. Simply put, TriCaster
represents the most complete, reliable and efficient integrated system available for
live production and web streaming. Its capabilities are equally well suited to
broadcast center installations and remote production, and it can be operated, if
desired, by just one person.
No matter what your live broadcast ambitions are, NewTek and TriCaster stand ready
to help you fulfill them.
Thank you for purchasing this NewTek TriCaster™ system.
NewTek is extremely proud of its record of innovation and
commitments to excellence in design, manufacture, and superb
product support. This chapter provides a quick tour of the major
components of your new live production system.

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.

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.
