keyers whose preview has to be permanently displayed. It is possible to simulta-

the actually delegated keyers will be lit. The buttons now serve again as delegation

ally delegated keyers will be displayed (Auto Follow Mode).
If no key selection button was pressed while the Key Selection Mode was active,
the Preview Mode will be toggled after releasing the Key PVW button, and that be-
tween Color Preview (of the keyers being selected in the Key Selection Mode or
of the actual keyer, if Auto Follow Mode is active) and the BlackWhite Preview (of
the actually delegated keyer). If at least one selection button was pressed, the Pre-
view Mode does not change after releasing the Key PVW button.

delegated keyer is somehow involved in the preview or not), at DSK4 .. DSK6 it is
always off.
