MAIN DSK DELEGATE
FIGURE 329
FIGURE 330
MAIN DSK DELEGATE button selections
govern which DSK layer(s) the row is
currently controlling; or – from another perspective – which video layers the selected
source is assigned to.
Note: When possible, all related button selections (and illumination state) are updated to
show their current states when new delegate selections are first made. This is true for all
delegate groups.
(An exception is made when newly selecting multiple delegates with control settings that
do not initially match. For example, if DSK1 and DSK 2 have different sources assigned
and are newly multi-selected in the delegate group, no buttons on the DSK row are lit.)

22.3.3 MAIN TRANSITION GROUP

The controls in this group are analogous to those in the corresponding area on the
Live Desktop, performing the same functions in much the same manner.
(In one deviation, switcher layer positioning is provided by a single, shared set of
Positioner tools, discussed later.)
DELEGATE
As on the Live Desktop, active delegate buttons remain lit. Multiple selections can be
performed by pressing one or more buttons at the same time.
DELEGATE buttons determine what video layers the main Take, Auto, and T-Bar affect,
and the scope of the Select and Rate knobs.

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.
