Normally, TriCaster uses its current session settings for video output.
SpeedEDIT projects (created using SpeedEDIT's File menu (New), for example) may
be a various resolutions, however. SpeedEDIT sends output to TriCaster's audio and
video outputs continuously, without selecting any menu setting.
Unlike the arrangement for Live Desktop output, for SpeedEDIT purposes TriCaster's
video outputs (rows 1-3) attempt to conform to the SpeedEDIT project format. So if
the project is HD, TriCaster's SDI outputs will all send HD-SDI, and the analog outputs
will all be Component HD.
Likewise when the project is SD, the SDI outputs will all be SD. As there are multiple
connection options for analog SD video, please refer to the following table in this case:
Row
Number
1
2
Note: When opening projects, TriCaster will attempt to provide hardware video output for
SpeedEDIT, which may require it to reset the display hardware from HD to SD (or vice
versa). It's possible that this could result in a monitor, its connection type, or both being
inappropriate for TriCaster's output mode.
The realtime IEE1394 (DV/HDV) preview found in SpeedEDIT standalone is not
supported for TriCaster, which has other (superior) video display options.
TriCaster launches SpeedEDIT on a desktop of its own, spanning all connected
monitors. You can exit SpeedEDIT by clicking the [x] button in the upper-right corner
of the desktop, or by using the File men item Close.
If you have a secondary monitor connected to TriCaster, you can drag SpeedEDIT's
Video Output window (opened from the Window menu) onto that screen.

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.
