Preset adjustments made using the mouse and canvas vary slightly, however, for
holographic effects.
For a standard LiveSet effect, dragging the mouse left, right, up or down changes the
camera position in the frame; the mouse-wheel zooms in or out. In a holographic
LiveSet, mouse-wheel operations are the same, zooming in or out. However dragging
the mouse laterally or vertically on the canvas modifies camera rotation, rather than
position.
Hint: Holographic effects, like standard LiveSets, are compiled using the optional Virtual
Set Editor application. A demo version of this utility is installed on your TriCaster, and its
instruction manual can be located in Startup>Help.
FIGURE 246
Key channel selection and Position controls work just like their DSK cousins, discussed
earlier (see 9.3.1), the sole distinction being that their behavior in connection with
Autoplay mimics other M/E sources.
SECTION 14.3 KEY CHANNELS
The Key channels in M/E panes match the DSK channels found in
the Switcher's main Transition section in almost all respects.
Unlike the DSKs, though, they constitute a 'pre-Switcher' sub-
layer. This means that Key channels are applied before the
composition is sent to the Switcher (or another M/E). Content in
a Key channel appears beneath anything displayed via the
(Switcher) DSK channels.

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.
