FIGURE 57
13. Click Auto for DSK 2. DSK channel content can be individually displayed or
removed from view in this manner.
Hint: DSK (and M/E Key channel) transitions are always in Ping Pong mode. If you fly a
DSK on with one operation, the next transition will always fly it back off again.
That's all useful, as far as it goes, but what if you want to remove one graphic and
display another simultaneously?
14. Click Take for DSK 2 to remove that video layer from view (DSK 1 should still
be on screen).
15. In the main Transition control group (Figure 57), click the label of the DSK 1
control. It will turn blue. The main transition controls, including the T-bar,
will now affect the DSK 1 video layer only.
16. Try it out by pressing the main Auto button; then press it again to re-display
DSK 1.
Hint: Note that the progress gauge beneath DSK 1's Take button shows that DSK 1 is
fully displayed.
17. With the DSK 1 delegate button lit up, press Ctrl on your keyboard, and keep
it pressed while you click the button for DSK 2 – then release it.
Two Transition delegate buttons are now 'lit' – DSK 1 and DSK 2.
18. Click the main Auto button again.

Hint: DSK 2 appears 'in front of' DSK 1 (from the viewer's
perspective).
DSKs can each have their own transitions, and these can be set
to different durations as well if you like.
12. Click the local Auto button for DSK 1. Since GFX 1 is
assigned to DSK 1, the currently selected item in that
Media Player transitions in to appear above the BKGD
layer.

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.
