vMix User Guide
127 / 208
Preview Bus (Bottom Row)
Press the number of the input on the Preview row that you want to assign to Preview.
Program Bus (Middle Row)
Press the number of the input on the Program row that you want to assign to the Program or Output.
This will cut or take the input directly to output without any transitions.
Overlay Bus (Top Row)
In vMix, graphics placed on top of other sources are known as Overlays. These are also known as Down
Stream Keyers (DSK) because the graphics are usually “keyed” over live video after any upstream effects
are applied. The DSK buttons on the Control Surface correspond to the 1 through 4 numbers underneath
each input in vMix (see graphic on page 1).
1. Select the Overlay channel you wish to use. Example: if you want to overlay an input on channel 1,
press the DSK1 button. It will now light up indicating overlay channel one on the first 12 inputs is ready to be
used.
2. Press the desired input you wish to overlay. Example: if you have a lower third title in input 6, press
button 6 on the Overlay row. Button 6 will then light up indicating that input 6 is overlaid on channel 1 of the
chosen input.
3. To see which inputs are currently active on each overlay channel, you can cycle through the 4 DSK
buttons. If an overlay channel has an active input, the corresponding input will light up.
Function Buttons (F1, F2, F3)
1. To program the Function buttons, open up the settings window in vMix and click the Shortcuts tab.
2. Click Add and a new window opens, with drop down menus showing usable keys and available vMix
