  • You can use the key as a logic source in many ways, for example for the On-Air Switch or routing to GPOs.
  • You can change the sequence of the three rows in the Colors area. Drag a row in the Lamp Source column to its new priority place.
  • The LED with higher priority lights up if its lamp source is active; two colors can't light up at the same time!
  • The LEDs of the keys can also be used to show a condition without having assigned a key function. This is useful for signalisation via GPIs.
