IMPORTANT Note: routers provide a measure of network security by masking the details
of systems connected to them, thus preventing direct external access.
If TriCaster is connected to the network by a router, the IP number shown in the location
field is only valid for viewers connected on the same side of the router as your TriCaster
(as they might be in a local intranet configuration.)
The Location provided in this case is merely a local number assigned by the router, and is
not accessible to the world at large. To find out how to provide external access to your
stream in this configuration, please see Section 18.8, Diagnostics and Troubleshooting, for
information on routers and "port forwarding".
You can provide any clients or streaming providers this address. Entering this
address into the File menu of Windows Media Player
(using copy, and pasting it into
®
the Open URL window) will direct the player to show the stream from your system
on client computer system(s) connected to the Internet.
Hint: Most web browsers can be also configured to invoke a compatible player when
required, as well, but using WMP directly in this fashion may save some steps.
Beyond this, simply select a suitable profile from the Resolution menu for your need.
Once you are done setting up the connection, click OK to close the panel. Your live
program stream will be sent continuously to the network while the Stream button is
enabled.
18.3.3 WINDOWS MEDIA PUSH
A Push Connection Type is often the most convenient method, especially in cases
where TriCaster is connected behind a firewall. Push streaming is also usually
simpler when you need to stream from major venues (such as hotels or convention
centers). The program stream passes quietly out through any firewalls or routers
between the facility and your streaming server.
Also, once your streaming provider has provided you the connection specifics, you
can resume the stream at any time without intervention from the server. When a
Push profile is chosen, the Server control group updates to allow entry of the (pre-
arranged) host web address (Location), Username and Password.
Note: The publishing point is placed at the end of the URL, following a forward slash (i.e.,
http://225.21.1.4:8080/NewTek).

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.
