1. If your monitor has a "Blue-gun only" setting, enable it. Depending on the
brand of your monitor, the alternating bars will appear either as light gray
and black, or blue and black (Figure 408).

2. If the monitor lacks a "Blue-gun only" feature, you can obtain a colored filter
such as a Kodak Wratten #47B gel, and hold that between your eyes and the
monitor for a similar result.
3. Tweak the Color (or Saturation) knob until the small rectangular patches at
very bottom of the tall upper bars on the extreme right and left of your screen
merge with the tall bars above.
4. Tweak the monitor's Hue control until the small rectangles beneath the third
and fifth tall upper bars likewise blend into bar above.
5. You may need to redo the last two steps several times, balancing the
adjustments of these two controls until all four of the lighter bars evenly
match the smaller rectangles just beneath them. (Note that a perfect match
simply may not be possible on some monitors.)
6. Check your results with some familiar imagery, and make any further tweaks
you feel are required.

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.
