(Note that if your display hardware declines to work with additions you make to the
menu, the Live Desktop status message display may show an 'unsupported display
mode' warning, and the monitor may either revert to the previous mode or simply
not show anything at all.)
NOTE: Changing Output Resolution can cause frames to be dropped briefly. We do not
recommend changing this setting during live production.
Q2: After reconnecting monitors, my Multiview and Interface monitor configuration is
messed up. What can I do?
A: If you disconnect (or power down) and reconnect monitors while on TriCaster's
Live Desktop, the operating system can have difficulty with monitor recognition and
configuration. To avoid problems, naturally it's best to leave display devices alone
while live.
In the case of an accidental disconnection, avoid reconnecting both monitors at the
same time. Rather, allow the display on the first monitor connected to stabilize before
connecting the second.
Downstream video monitoring devices must be compatible with the video broadcast
standard (such as NTSC or PAL) you intend to use in the TriCaster session.
1. Connect cables between downstream devices (whether monitors or other
devices) and appropriately labeled connectors on TriCaster's backplate (see
Section 3.8.1).
2. Open a TriCaster session (or create a new one) from the Home Page of the
Startup Screen.
3. Click the Live icon on the Session Page of the Startup Screen, and press Enter
(or click the Start Live Production link).
4. For SD display devices, you may need to adjust the connection options found
in Output Configuration:

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.
