Note: It is possible to create streaming profiles that place very high demands on system
resources, or are impractical for streaming over most networks.
The default profiles are suitable for most purposes, and should not interfere with other
operations. Attention to these considerations when creating custom profiles is vital to
ensure reliable performance, and we encourage you to perform real world testing
beforehand.
Flash Media Encoder profiles are XML files, while Windows Media Encoder® uses a
.prx file extension for its profiles. If you already have a prepared custom profile and
wish to import it, follow these steps:
1. Open the Configure Stream Connection panel, by clicking the Configure button
(gear) next to the Stream button on the Live Desktop.
2. Click New (Connection)
3. Select the option appropriate to the profile you wish to import in the popup
Choose Connection Type panel.
4. Click the Resolution drop down menu, and slide the pointer all the way down
to the bottom to select Browse.
5. Navigate to the custom profile, select it and click Open.
1. From TriCaster's Startup Screen, click the Shutdown icon, and select Exit to
Windows.
2. Click the Exit to Windows button in the confirmation dialog that pops up.
3. Double-click the My Computer icon, and navigate to C:\TriCaster\Streaming
Profiles\WMVPRofiles.
4. Identify a profile (.prx file) similar to the one you wish to create inside the
appropriate sub-folder at that location.

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.
