SECTION 11.1 SPECIALIZED MEDIA PLAYERS

TriCaster™ sports multiple Media Players, located in tabbed panes found in the
bottom third of the Live Desktop. Here you will find individual DDR, GFX (Graphics)
and Sounds modules. (This is also where the powerful Buffers feature is located.)

MEDIA PLAYERS & BUFFERS
TriCaster's Media Players permit you to integrate video, stills and
title pages into your live presentation with simplicity and style.
Preload content and display it sequentially as a playlist, or call up
individual items on demand. Media Players can even play, stop
and advance automatically in response to your Switcher
operations.
On models that support animated buffer effects, buffers can
provide similar capability, but are resident in memory, and thus
best suited to short duration or looping effects. Conveniently,
this makes them perfect for many purposes, freeing up the Media
Players for long form or more elaborate requirements. Still image
and title buffers (all models) provide similar advantages.

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.
