Centering the Pan knob labeled A splits the sound received by Input 1a equally
onto channels A and B.
Sliding Pan for Input 1a all the way to the right results in that source only
being audible on channel B, removing it completely from its original channel.
Pan also modulates the sound levels on the left and right channels so that the overall
volume neither rises nor drops as a result of adjustments.
Hint: "Pan" is not the same as "Balance". The balance control in a stereo system varies
the relative level of the left and right channels, but sound from the left channel will never
come out of the right speaker, or vice versa (whereas Pan does permit this to occur).
A control group labeled Routing appears below the Pan group in the first tabbed pane
(Input Settings) of the Audio Configuration panel for all sources.
FIGURE 259
The controls in this group determine output routing of the stereo pair(s) comprising
the input group. Switches let you send channels A and B to different internal audio
buses maintained by TriCaster.
When present, channels C and D can be separately routed. Let's talk about what an
audio bus is and how it is useful before proceeding.
Consider a very basic audio mixer. Its main audio signal path, from input to output,
is properly called the 'master bus.' Sound supplied to one or more inputs is placed on

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.
