b. Component – Attach your device to the second, third and fourth BNC
connectors (Y, Pb and Pr).
c. Y/C
–
If your S-Video equipment and cabling has the usual 4-pin mini-DIN
connectors, you will need an 'S-Video to dual BNC' adapter.
i. Attach the Y (luma) connector of your device to the second analog
ii. Attach the C (chroma) connector to the third analog connector
d. Composite – Attach the device's connector to the first (top) analog
connector (just above the pair labeled Y/C).
2. Connect TriCaster's audio outputs:
a. Analog audio – Connect external audio devices to the connectors in the
AUDIO OUT section.
8-input TriCasters offer two pairs of four audio output connectors:
i. Connectors 1a-(1b or 1d) provide sound from the mix assigned to
Output 1 (defaults to Master in Output Configuration)
ii. Connectors 2a-(2b or 2d) provide sound from the mix assigned to
Output 2 (defaults to Aux in Output Configuration)
Note: These two output groups are actually treated by TriCaster as four
independent stereo outputs, each configured and controlled separately;
see Chapter 15, Audio.
b. Digital audio – A separate digital audio connection is not necessary for SDI
or HDMI output with embedded audio. AES/EBU connectors are provided
for Output 1(channels a-d) on 8-input models.
Hint: TriCaster's SDI and analog output sections can be used simultaneously.
example, you could use the Composite output to view your program on a local composite
monitor at the same time as you use the SDI connection to supply broadcast equipment.

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.
