Audio menu options include the Master and Aux mixes, or the sound from any one of
TriCaster's audio inputs.
The video format (Resolution) for Output 1 always matches the current TriCaster
session format, so its menu is locked. For Output 2, though, the Resolution menu
allows you to independently configure the format.

Hint: Multiview, a versatile external display intended primarily for control room monitoring,
is configured in TriCaster's Dashboard (click the Workspace menu).
It's worth mentioning that, for TriCasters with analog outputs, SD formats offer
different Analog Out options than HD. HD is always presented on SDI and Component
connectors, but in addition to these, Composite and Y/C connections are still in
common use for SD.
Composite and Y/C can even be used simultaneously, allowing three different devices
to be connected to outputs in one row for SD output formats – one digital (SDI)
connection along with two analog connections (see the example at right).
Optional Source selections for these
two primary output channels include
any of the following:
Program output
A clean Program feed
The 'look ahead' Preview
The direct output of any M/E
Selected Buffer content
Media Player output
Either network input source
The feed from any camera input

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.
