Downstream Keyers

TIE

The TIE button will enable the DSK on the preview output, along with the next transition
effects, and tie it to the main transition control so that the DSK can be taken to air with
the next transition.
The DSK will transition at the rate specified in the RATE display of the transition control
block. If the DSK is tied, the signal routing to the clean feed 1 is unaffected.

ON AIR

The ON AIR button is used to cut the DSK on or off air and indicates whether the DSK is
currently on or off air. The button is illuminated if the DSK is currently on air.

AUTO

The AUTO button will mix the DSK on or off air at the rate specified in the DSK RATE
window. This is similar to the main AUTO rate on the transition control block, however
it's limited only to the specific downstream keyer. This can be used to fade up and
down bugs and logos, such as live or replay bugs during production, without interfering
with the main program production transitions.
Fade to Black (FTB)
The FTB button will fade the whole program video output to black at the rate specified in the
fade to black RATE window. Once the program output has been faded to black, the FTB button
will flash red until it is pressed again. Doing so will fade up from black at the same rate, or you
can enter a new rate in the Fade to Black palette in the Switcher window. Fade to black is
mostly used at the start of your production, and at the end of your production, or when cutting
to commercial breaks. It ensures all layers in the switcher are faded down together. A fade to
black cannot be previewed. You can also set the audio mixer to fade the audio with your fade to
black by selecting the AFV button on the master audio output fader.
