Local Take and Auto buttons are provided for DSK 1 and DSK 2, but not FTB. These
perform a cut or transition respectively, affecting only the corresponding switcher
layer.
Hint: When a DSK layer is fully displayed on Program out, its local Take button (on the Live
Desktop as well as the control surface) remains lit.
This section of the control surface corresponds to the tabbed M/E panes on the Live
Desktop. The M/E DELEGATE button group determines which M/E (from the four or
eight available) is being controlled.

Your TriCaster CS provides an M/E DELEGATE button group to govern which M/E(s)

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.
