18. Click Play.
19. After a few seconds, perform a Take and watch what happens:
a. Naturally, DDR 1 and Camera 1 are swapped on the Switcher.
b. DDR playback is stopped at the current frame of the current clip.
20. Perform another Take.
a. As expected, DDR 1 is restored to Program output.
b. Playback re-commences at the next frame of the current clip; DDR 1
did not automatically jump ahead to the next clip this time.
You may find Single mode your favorite way to use Media Players, but it can be useful
to turn it off (as just described) at other times. Perhaps a live speaker is presenting a
long clip, but wants to be free to interrupt it with live commentary at any time.
Turning Single off (with Autoplay on) works perfectly in this scenario. The TriCaster
operator can click Take or Auto freely, confident DDR playback will resume at
precisely the right frame.
Let's consider one more powerful feature common to TriCaster's Media Players – the

MEM slots store other information about the current state of the module, too,
including playback position, selection status, and so on. In many ways, MEM slots act
like additional Media Players.

MEM slot bin.
MEM slot bins run vertically down the outer edges of
the various Media Player and Audio modules,
providing instant access to custom playlists and
configurations.
Normally hidden, the bins fly out when you move the
mouse pointer to the edge of the screen.

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.
