To Manually Bring a Key On Program:

key (such as the still in key 2 in the above example) to fade on at the rate for that
keyer, and the button will change color to red.
To Manually Take a Key Off Program:
1.
Any key that is on-air (red), can be taken off program by pressing its
[Direct Key

button is on).
Keys may also be transitioned from the Multi-View, see section 2.5.3

the Transition Controls, by clicking in the keyer window on the Multi-View or by using the Direct Key buttons.
