The Frame Buffer folder is a "watch folder". When you save an image into the correct
location for a given buffer, the corresponding buffer immediately updates, even if it is
currently displayed. This lets you refresh overlays virtually instantly from any
computer on the same network.
Still image Buffers are normally stored using the popular 32 bit PNG (Portable
Network Graphics) format, but other formats are also supported.
Specific filenames are not important in the buffer workflow.
multiple media files with different names can reside in buffer folders.
TriCaster always shows the 'newest' file – that is, the one with the most recent
modification date.
Creative uses for buffers abound. You'll notice that the sample media content
supplied with your TriCaster includes a number of different styles of animated buffers
– some full screen, suitable for looping backgrounds or similar applications; others
that are suited to overlay, bug, or alert tasks.
Buffers of all sorts can be displayed in the following locations:
Main Switcher
o Program/Preview) rows – right-click the BFR button to select which
buffer to assign to that button.
o DSK channels – choose a specific buffer using the DSK's drop-down
source menu.
M/E banks
o Mix mode – select a buffer for the A/B row BFR button just as you
would for the main Switcher.
o Effect Mode – for multi-layer effects, the BFR button in each row can
be assigned independently.

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.
