At this point, you should be hearing audio only from input 1.
Hint: By default, each audio input is configured to follow the video source having the same
Switcher row slot, though the Follow switch is disabled. However, it's valuable to know that
these default source relationships can be modified, as we shall see shortly.
10. Click the Switcher's Take button – keep an eye on the VU meters for Inputs 1
and 2 as you do so.
Notice that when the video source assigned to Camera 1 is selected on the Program
(PGM) row, you hear its associated audio input. When you perform a Take the audio
source connected to Input 2 in the Audio In section is heard. When Follow is enabled
for an audio source, its sound is automatically sent to output whenever video sources
it is assigned to follow are displayed on output. In this case, the levels shown in the
VU meter for that audio source are drawn in color.
When you switch away from the video source, the VU meter still shows its audio level,
but the graph is drawn in grayscale (providing confirmation that audio is present, but
indicating that it is not going live to Program out).
Hint: Follow even works when the associated video sources are displayed on output via an
M/E or DSK channel.
The Follow Program video control group for has a drop-down menu that lets you
determine exactly which video source, or sources, will be 'followed' by the audio
source.
Let's test this:
11. Continue to supply sound to audio Inputs 1 and 2.
12. Use the Follow source menu in the respective Audio Configuration panels to
set Input 1 to follow both Cameras 1 and 2, and enable the Follow switch.
13. Configure audio Input 2 identically.
14. Select Camera 1 on the Switcher's Program row. The audio from both input 1
and 2 should be audible.

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.
