SDI Embedded or HDMI provide digital audio from the
associated video connection.
Note: Analog audio levels conform to SMPTE RP-155.
maximum input/output level is +24 dBu, nominal Mic input level +4
dBu (-20dBFS), and the sample rate is 96 kHz.
The Volume sliders (next to the VU meters) default to their lowest
settings on first launch. After adding audio sources, slowly bring
these sliders up to pass their signals through the system.
Hint: Most numeric controls in TriCaster can be reset to their defaults
using Shift + double-click on the control knob. The default value for
Gain sliders is 0dBVU.
Some variation exists as respects signal levels from individual
sources, even within the same type. For Mic (and Mic + Phantom)
connections, Gain (a.k.a., Trim) controls are provided to allow
fine tuning of the input level.
To access these controls, open the Advanced Audio
Configuration panel, by clicking the Configuration button (gear) in the titlebar for an
input control group.
microphones and similar sources into a useful range on the VU meter.
In digital audio systems, levels exceeding 'legal' values are 'clipped' (uniformly
assigned the maximum value). This results in audible issues that cannot be easily
corrected later.
For this reason, it's customary to configure normal operating level (also referred to
as the 'alignment level', and sometimes, 'nominal level') well below the clipping limit
– sufficiently so that occasional excessively loud sounds (say, loud laughter or
applause) can be accommodated without risk.
This range above between nominal level and the highest possible level is commonly
referred to as 'audio headroom'. What is considered a suitable headroom allowance
can vary from one locale to another, in different industry applications, and even in
individual studios.

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.
