22.7.1 INSTALLING AVID® ARTIST MIX SOFTWARE
AVID(R) provides a utility called EuControl for use with the Artist Mix control surface.
This software runs in the background, and is required for TriCaster to recognize and
respond to the control surface.
1. From the TriCaster Startup screen, click the Shutdown icon, and choose
Administrator Mode.
2. Select Exit to Windows to leave the TriCaster environment.
3. Obtain the EuControl installer by using one of the following two methods:
a. With TriCaster connected to the Internet, download the most recent
installer for the Windows(R) 64bit operating system from the
webpage below:
www.avid.com/artistsupport (Requires Avid website account.)
b. Otherwise, download the installer as above to a different computer,
and transfer it to TriCaster's hard drive across a network or by USB
flash drive (etc.)
4. Double-click the icon for the installer application (Install_EuControl.exe).
5. Follow the instructions displayed to complete the installation.
After the software installation is complete, shut down TriCaster, and connect the
AVID(R) Artist Mix panel to TriCaster as follows:
1. Plug one end of the AC power cord into the power adapter and the other into
an electrical outlet (push the AC power connector firmly into the adapter).
2. Connect the DC output cable from the power adapter to the DC input on the
left rear side of the control surface.
3. Connect the control surface to TriCaster using the crossover cable supplied
with the Artist Mix, or – as will often be true, in cases where TriCaster network
connectivity is a requirement – to the same network subnet your TriCaster is
connected to using a suitable Ethernet cable. In most cases you will wish to

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.
