Solo implementations and options vary widely in the audio industry, but broadly
speaking, they provide several very useful functions. TriCaster's Solo feature (Figure
254) offers remarkable flexibility without overly confusing complexity.
Consider a few basic design concepts:
The Solo switch state has no impact on the audio mix(es)
sent to other outputs.
Enabling Solo for a source sends its (after-fader) sound to
the Headphones output, and removes all other sources from that output.
TriCaster's Solo feature is normally what it called 'exclusive Solo' (or 'X-Or'
type). This means that enabling Solo for a given source disables all other Solo
buttons.
It is possible to use what is called 'Solo latch', ganging multiple sources for
Solo output. Hold down the Ctrl key and click additional Solo buttons to add
or remove their respective audio contributions from the latched Solo group.
It can be very useful to be able to preview one or more audio sources, doing so without
allowing the test sound to be audible on Program output. Typically, this need arises
in connection with testing microphones or other audio sources that will be used in
the production.
To audition an audio source in this manner:
1. First Mute the source, removing it from primary outputs.
2. Then enable Solo to hear it on the Headphones output.

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.
