5.3. Backup Key
Pressing the Backup key will open and close the Backup Window on screen 1.
Here you can create a new show, load a saved show, save your current show and save your current show with a new
name.
If you press the key fast twice (like a double click) you will save your show immediately. This can only be done if you
don't
have the backup menu open.
If you have a USB memory stick in the console then it will also store your show to the stick.

5.4. Blind key
Pressing the Blind key will toggle whether the content in your programmer is giving you live output or not.
I.e. if you want to store something on an executor but you don't want to disturb what's currently going on at the
stage. Then (with an empty programmer) you press the Blind key, select some fixture, do what you want to do,
store it, clear the content in your programmer and then press the Blind again. Nothing happened on stage, it was
all hidden from the output.
If you deactivate blind while you have values in your programmer, then these values will become visible on the
output. If you have assigned a Program Time fader and it's active, then it will use the time set on the fader - read
more about the Program time fader in What is the Programmer.
Similar, if you activate blind with values in your programmer, then these values will be hidden from the output -
changing the current look on stage.

5.5. Black Out key
The B.O. key is used to inhibit dimmer output. All dimmer values will go to 0% as long as you press this key.
Releasing it will restore the values.
You can also accomplish this using the Grand Master fader, but here you can set it to a variable output between
100% and 0%.
