this master bus (in the jargon of audio processing, this is called a 'send'), which
ultimately flows to output connectors.
Slightly more advanced mixers often provide more than one 'send' for individual
inputs. For example, the sound from all inputs may be sent to the master bus,
comprising the 'master mix'. A different mix, sometimes called a 'sub-mix', might also
be created by sending certain signals to a secondary ('auxiliary', or 'Aux') bus.
Hint: A secondary mix, prepared on an Aux bus, can serve many purposes. For example,
you might wish to record a mix with all sound from talent microphones but that excludes
any sound effects or music.
Let's summarize what we have learned so
far: A 'send' pipes audio signals from an
input to a discrete pathway called a 'bus'.
Multiple sends can be used to place sound
from a given source onto one or more
internal busses. OK, what else should we
know?
Each audio bus is discrete. Each can be
directed along different output paths. And
even when the blend of signals it carries is
otherwise identical to another bus, it can
be
processed
separately;
equalization,
and
settings can be unique.
TriCaster provides four primary audio
busses. These are identified in the Audio
Mixer as:
Master 1
Master 2
AUX 1
AUX 2
The Audio Mixer provides control groups for each of these busses (Figure 260),
allowing you to set their levels and signal processing.

compressor/limiter
Secondary audio busses:
Actually, beyond the primary busses
mentioned here, TriCaster maintains
a large number of secondary internal
busses.
For example, the Solo switch for each
input (and output) is actually a 'send'
that adds sound to a 'Solo bus'.
Likewise, the IsoCorder™ module (on
supporting models) permits discrete
recording
directly
unmodified audio input associated
with any single video source; really,
this constitutes another up to eight
additional audio busses.

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.
