2.5.12 MEDIA PUBLISHING

Publish support makes it easy to distribute content to
multiple targets in one pass.
TriCaster stores
credentials for social media and upload sites, and
FIGURE 9
provides a queue for uploading and file conversion.
Clips and stills from live sessions can easily be added to the queue without
interrupting production, and then be distributed to multiple hosting and social media
sites (including Twitter®, Facebook®, YouTube®, and more) all with a single click –
even when live production recording is still underway.
This is great for concerts, galas, sport events, game shows and more. The Publish
feature directly addresses FTP sites and network locations too; transfer media to
multiple locations at the same time to meet post-production needs or other
collaborative and archival requirements.

2.5.13 MACROS

Record and play back macros, whether a simple operation or more involved series of
events at the touch of a button. Assign shortcut keys to macros, and assign macros to
be triggered by onscreen events using Hotspots.

2.5.14 HOTSPOTS, TRIGGERS AND TRACKERS

Define multiple onscreen Hotspots for different
(chromakeyed) sources, and trigger macros whenever
something enters the hotspot. This live interactivity
opens up countless creative applications.
Trackers provide motion data from defined color regions
as they move about in the frame in realtime. Lock other
video sources to Tracker output using Position tools in
M/Es banks and DSKs and they will follow obediently.

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.
