transition, portions of both the Program and Preview row selections can be seen in
varying amounts.
The BKGD layer composition can include other content as well, as we'll see later in
Section 4.10 (LiveMatte) and Section 4.11 (More About M/ES).
Hint: It can be useful to have the tab for a Media Player you select on the Preview row
shown automatically. To employ this behavior, enable either of the "Tabs follow Preview ...
" items listed in the Options menu of TriCaster's Live Desktop (at left in the Dashboard).
Let's try out some of these concepts, shall we? (If you previously configured some
cameras, feel free to skip ahead to the next sub-heading).
1. First, confirm that the Connection Type selected for your video sources is
correct.
a. Double-click an Input monitor to open the Configuration panel for that
input.
b. Choose a Connection setting appropriate for your camera (if necessary),
and close the Configuration panel.
2. Repeat the steps above for all connected cameras.
3. Use the Workspace menu to show "All" primary Switcher sources.
4. Click the Switcher button labeled '1' on the Program row to send Camera 1 to
TriCaster's BKGD layer (the PGM row button turns red).
(For experimental purposes, feel free to use internal sources such as Media
Players rather than live cameras if you like.)
5. Click to select Camera 2 on the Preview row (the button will light up in green).
6. Note that the monitor labels for the corresponding sources are now also
tinted red and green, respectively.

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.
