A.1.6 CONNECT A SUPPORTED EXTERNAL CONTROL SURFACE?
Connect the USB cable from the Control Surface to one of TriCaster's USB ports.

Q
UPPLEMENTARY
UESTION
Q: The control surface has suddenly stopped working. What can I do?
A: The foremost reason this might happen is if the cable (or extender cable) you are
using between the control surface and the TriCaster failed to deliver sufficient current
consistently. In the short term (if you are in the middle of a show), you can generally
resolve this issue by simply unplugging and re-plugging the control surface.
However, please note that the use of so-called "USB extenders" is not recommended.
Whenever possible, use a single USB cable of the correct length. Each added connector
on the signal path is a potential connection problem, and also causes signal
'reflections'.
Such an arrangement may seem to work for a while, then fail
unpredictably.
If you are using a very long USB cable (or a poor quality cable), you should supply a
powered hub at the end of the cable nearest the control surface, then complete the
connection with a short USB cable from the hub to the control surface. (An unpowered
hub will be of no help.)
A.1.7 MIRROR CONTROL OPERATIONS TO ANOTHER TRICASTER?
1. Connect the second TriCaster to the same network.
2. Refer to Section 17.7.1 for details of preparing the two TriCasters and
enabling Remote Control.

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.
