Note that, after de-selecting the BKGD delegate button, the Preview monitor no longer
shows the Switcher's Preview row selection. Instead, it shows DSK 1 over the current
Program row selection.
Why is that?
Since only the DSK 1 and DSK 2 delegate buttons are active, only those two video
layers will be affected by a main Take or Auto operation. In this state, the result of an
Auto operation will be as follows:
DSK 2, currently seen on Program out, will be removed from view
DSK 1 will be overlaid above Program instead.
The BKGD layer – not being delegated – will not change in this case. Hence
Preview correctly depicts the outcome of a Take or Auto, just as we've
mentioned.
The Look Ahead Preview allows you to switch with real confidence; the Transition
delegate features provide flexible and convenient video layer management, and thus
enhanced control over your ultimate Program output composition.

Record and Grab controls are prominently positioned immediately above the Program
monitor (in its default position at upper right on the Live Desktop).
Note: The tools located above the monitoring section of the Live Desktop comprise
TriCaster's Dashboard. In addition to Record and Grab, the Dashboard holds numerous
other important features discussed a bit further on in this guide.

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.
