The Chyron Keyboard is designed specifically for use with graphics systems
running Lyric software. The location and function of dedicated keys are similar
to those on iNFiNiT! Family keyboards. Dedicated keys simplify frequentlyused composition functions, minimizing necessity of using the system’s mouse.
Some of these keys double as commonly used Windows keys. The traditional
Windows functions appear on the front of each of these keys in RED. These
functions can be activated by pressing the red Fn key, located immediately
to the left of the Shift key.
