For all TriCaster professional models, the Input Configuration panels for cameras 1-8
allows any or all of these cameras to be configured as a PTZ cam, controlled directly
from TriCaster (see Section 8.2.9).
In addition to pan, tilt and zoom control, TriCaster can also govern White Balance
settings, Focus, Iris (or 'brightness'), and Animation Speed ('travel speed') settings for
supported cameras. TriCaster also provides a convenient and very visual PTZ preset
system allowing you to 'lock in' your shots and access them quickly.
Once primarily used in security applications, robotic or 'PTZ'
(pan, tilt, zoom) cameras are appearing on the production scene
in ever increasing numbers. Not only do they offer dramatic
potential savings, robotic camera installations also offer both
creative possibilities and, in certain environments, safety
benefits.
TriCaster's PTZ implementation makes it easy to operate
supported PTZ cameras from the Live Desktop or control surface.

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.
