FIGURE 49
Note: Gigabit networking is highly recommended, and should be considered mandatory for
HD sessions in particular.
When TriCaster recognizes qualified network sources, it adds them to a drop-down
menu for quick selection (Figure 49).
4. Move your mouse pointer over a Network monitor in the All Monitors tabbed
view.
5. Click the triangular menu button below the monitor to select a networked
source (or change the current selection) from the menu that appears. (For
iVGA PRO, you'll need to accept the connection at least once on the client
machine).
Hint: iVGA displays a status icon on the client system. For a Windows® based system, the
icon is in the task tray; on Macintosh® systems, it is shown in the dock. This indicates this
computer's display is ready to send to TriCaster. The icon's appearance changes to
indicate when the client is actually sending output to TriCaster.
See Chapter 16 for much more detail on the use of iVGA.

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.
