A.4.5 PREPARE CLIPS WITH EMBEDDED ALPHA CHANNEL?
Probably the best format to use for files with embedded alpha channel for use in
TriCaster are those encoded using NewTek's own SpeedHQ 4:2:2:4 codec. This
format can serve for either SD or HD clips, and represents a high quality, moderately
compressed alternative. (As a registered NewTek customer, you can download the
NewTek TriCaster Codec Pack for either Windows® or Mac® platforms from your
personal Downloads page on the NewTek website.)
Apple® computer users have several other options available which support an alpha
channel, including the Animation and PNG Quicktime® movie codecs (select "Millions
of Colors +" in the codec settings to include alpha in the file).
A.4.6 ADD AN EXTERNAL FILE LOCATION TO THE FILE BROWSER?
1. Open (or create) a TriCaster session.
2. Click the Add button for a Media Player (DDR, Still or Title).
3. Click the Add Media Location button at bottom left in the File Browser.
4. Select the folder you wish to list as a location in TriCaster's File Browser, and
click OK.
(See Add Media Location in Section 11.2.2)

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.
