This arrangement offers easily visible thumbnail icons for each entry. A scrollbar at
right accommodates long playlists when necessary.

Hint: The duration is the play time after trimming, and thus may be less than the file length
on disk. In such cases, the In and Out markers on the Scrub Bar (spanning the width of
the playlist immediately below it) show the effect of trimming operations, while the full width
of the Scrub Bar depicts the total length of the file on disk.
Clicking an item selects it. The play position is automatically set to the In Point on
selection. Standard Shift + click and Ctrl + click multi-selection operations are
supported, and all selected items are denoted by a white border around their icon.
When a Media Player is stopped, its output to video monitors tracks selection and
trimming operations.
consequence appears on monitors dedicated to the player, if any.
Of course, only one item can be displayed on output at a time; the frame surrounding
the thumbnail icon for the currently displayed item is illuminated. Double-clicking a
thumbnail (or clicking the Play button) begins playback from the In Point of the
current file.
Hint: Double-clicking elsewhere in the playlist pane opens the Media Browser (hold down
shift when clicking to open a system file explorer instead of the custom Media Browser).
Note that even still images and static title pages added to the playlist are given a play
duration. The default duration for these items is fifteen seconds. This duration can
be adjusted on an item by item basis (or as noted earlier, en masse for multi-selected
stills or title pages).
Icons in the playlist can quickly and easily be re-
ordered using the familiar drag and drop workflow.
The playlist can even be altered during playback (of
course, if the currently playing item is removed,
playback stops immediately).
The filename (with extension) of each item in the
current playlist is displayed above the thumbnails, and
its duration is shown below.
The current item is the Media Player's output, and in

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.
