SD options include both 4:3 and 16:9 (widescreen) image aspects. TriCaster Multi-
standard models permit you to select from different video standards according to your
locale, choosing between NSTC, NTSC-J (Japan) or PAL.
Continue with session creation by designating the Video Standard used in your locale
(Multi-standard models only). For the moment, let's choose 1080i for Resolution
(even if the cameras you plan to connect are SD 4:3), then click the Start Session link
below.
By default, new sessions are created on TriCaster's D: (Media) drive (see Section 5.2.1
for a discussion of session Volume options).
Clicking Start Session will take you to the Session Page. As our intention is to configure
our connections (done in TriCaster's Live Desktop), click the Live button on the icon
ring.
FIGURE 20
Simply click the link labeled Start Live Production to launch the Live Desktop, which is
likely where you will spend most of your time working with TriCaster.
Initially, as you have yet to configure input devices or add content, the Live Desktop
will look a bit barren (Figure 21). Take a quick look around, but then let's continue to
configure your devices. (We had a brief glimpse at the Live Desktop back in Section
2.4, but we'll examine it more closely in Chapter 4, Live Production Walkthrough –
coming up soon.)

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.
