6. Keyer Area

The keyer area is used to select and independently transition keys. The display shows the on-air status of each key and the source currently selected on that key. Used the CUT and AUTO buttons to perform cuts or auto transitions on keys directly, without having to include them as part of the next transition.

Tip: Press the SEL button for a key to assign the key bus on that panel row to that key. The SEL button is lit when the key bus is assigned to that key.
