1. Roll the mouse pointer over the Record control in the Dashboard and click the
Configuration button (gear) that appears to open the Record Configuration panel
(Figure 63).
2. Click in the Base Name field, and enter a unique name for the captured file(s).
Hint: TriCaster stores recordings at (drive):\Media\Clips\sessionname\Capture (where
"drive" and "sessionname" are appropriate for your system and session).
TriCaster's IsoCorder™ technology can capture
multiple a/v sources simultaneously. The first of
these sources is referred to as the Primary source.
Additional sources in many combinations can be
added in a Secondary recording group shown
below.
(Recording options are discussed in more depth in
Chapter 20, Record and Grab.)
The default capture options will work just fine for
our purposes, so let's continue:
3. By default, Output 1 (the primary Program
output) is the selected Source in the Primary
Recording area of the Record Configuration
panel.
Hint: You could optionally select DDR 1 or DDR 2 in the nearby Add to Playlist menu,
automatically adding newly recorded clips to a playlist – but let's not do that yet.

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.
