Hint: Naturally, reducing or increasing the
level of one or more tonal bands affects the
overall output level as well. This may call for
you to trim the main level setting for the
affected input or output.
C
OMPRESSOR
The Compressor/Limiter is capable of
preventing clipping (see Section 15.8.1)
from unexpected peaks or transients, and
making talent sound better than they do in
real life, bringing voices, music and other
audio sources into an optimal dynamic
range.
Being able to do this independently for
each output too is icing on the cake,
especially for Internet streaming, as it
ensures correct levels at any time.
T
HRESHOLD
Sound above the set Threshold level will be compressed; the amount of compression
and the manner in which it is applied are both dictated by the other settings.
R
ATIO
A Ratio of 4:1 means that if input level is 4 dB over the threshold, the output signal
level after compression will be just 1 dB over the threshold. The gain (level) is
reduced by 3dB.

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.
