In turn, this combined stream resolves into 3D when viewed through special glasses
with red and cyan (blue-green) filters for left and right eyes respectively.
TriCaster provide easy access to anaglyphic technology by means of the Anaglyph
effect. The effect combines 2 video inputs selected in an M/E. 3D output can then be
switched easily like any other source. No complex configuration steps or tricky
control surface operations are required.
The effects in the Photoshop Blend folder apply well-known
blending modes to the A layer in the M/E as these are blend with
the B layer.
The resulting compositions can serve many purposes, such as
adding animated 'bokeh' style overlays using DDR clips or adding
interest to still overlays such as vignettes or titles.

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.
