At times you may wish to preview the contents of a different Media Player MEM slot
without disrupting playback of the current playlist. When a clip is playing, a small
white 'play indicator' is shown over the icon for the currently selected entry in the
flyout MEM slot bin. If you select a different MEM slot while the current clip continues
to play, the playlist bin view updates, but the original item continues to play. The
transport controls (Play, Stop, etc.) at the bottom of the tab remain *dedicated to the
active playlist – that is, the one actually playing, rather than the one currently being
previewed in the tab.
To change to the previewed MEM slot immediately – ending playback and display of
the current item – you can do so by any of the following means:
Double-click an icon in the previewed playlist.
Or press *Stop twice, and then Play (playback of the active item ends with the
first Stop command; the second sets the playhead to the start of the current
item in the new playlist).
* Normally, pressing Stop a second time when a clip is playing resets the playhead
to the start frame in the same clip. The exception above occurs only when you
are previewing the content of a different MEM slot during playback.
Default media file folders (Clips, Stills, etc.) are maintained for each session. This
approach makes it easy to locate items using the Custom File Browser, and is also
convenient for backup and other file management purposes.
The default media locations for the active session can be made accessible across your
local network. Share Media Folders and Buffers in the File menu is on by default, and
allows network clients to update media in the active session, even while live. The
following session media locations are dynamically shared:

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.

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.
