Zoom, Crop (etc.) – Use the Position tools for Overlay and DSK layers to zoom in on
the action in a replay.
Clip Organization – It can be helpful, at times, to use the MEM slot options in the
DDR to collate clips for different purposes.
TriCaster's support for the AVID® Artist Mix hardware surface brings a highly
desirable level of convenience and creative control to a critical aspect of almost every
video production – audio. This section explains how to connect and use this powerful
third party device.
The AVID(R) Artist Mix hardware surface provides great convenience, delivering
hands-on external audio control to TriCaster operators. Adjust audio levels, channel
panning, equalization, select mixer presets, and more.
The compact Artist Mix console provides excellent visual feedback, and delivers
control beyond what can possibly be provided with the mouse and keyboard alone.
Almost all adjustments are bi-directional – adjusting the control surface updates the
user interface controls, and vice versa. Artist Mix communicates with TriCaster using
a popular open control communication protocol named EUCON™ (Extended User
Control); the control surface acts and feels like a physical extension of your software.
Let's begin by discussing installation and setup.

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.

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.
