Step by step

On the input thumbnail, click one of the buttons 1, 2, 3 or 4.
The input goes on top of Program in that overlay.
To take it off, click the same button again, press the overlay's F key or click the overlay under OVERLAYS (F1–F4).

The OVERLAYS (F1–F4) panel

It stays fixed at the bottom of the middle column. Each button shows the number and name of that overlay's input. A lit button is on air. With no input, it shows empty.

Click the button, or press F1, F2, F3 or F4, to put it on and take it off air.

Fade or slide

In the corner of each button there is an icon for how it comes in: ◐ is fade and ⇥ is slide. Click the icon to switch.

Changing an overlay's input

Click the number button on another thumbnail. If the overlay is already on air, the new input replaces it with an animation.
