Hint: It's a good idea to record the login name and password you choose when creating
your website profile, and keep them in a safe place. Jot down the registration code too; it
could come in very handy if you ever need to restore the TriCaster software to its as-
shipped state when you don't have access to the Internet.
It's a great idea to check for recent free software updates for your system at this time,
too – see the heading System Utilities in Section 5.2.3 for more on this.

SECTION 3.4 RACK MOUNTING TRICASTER
Several TriCaster models are designed for convenient mounting in standard 19" racks
(mounting rails designed for different TriCaster models are available separately from
NewTek Sales).
Please keep in mind that adequate cooling is a very important requirement for
virtually all electronic and digital equipment, and this is true of TriCaster as well. We
recommend allowing 1.5 to 2 inches of space on all sides for cool (i.e., comfortable
'room temperature') air to circulate around the chassis.
Good ventilation at the front and rear panel is important, and 4-input rack-mount
TriCasters in particular require ventilated space above the unit (1RU minimum is
recommended).
Hint: When operating TriCaster in a 'road case' for mobile production, it's best to do so with
both the front and back covers (of the road case) removed.
When designing enclosures or mounting the unit, supplying good free air movement
around the chassis as discussed above should be viewed as a critical design
consideration. This is especially true in fixed installations where TriCaster will be
installed inside furniture-style enclosures.

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.
