Scrolling with the shuttle

Different scrolling speeds can be set for each of the speed increments. The speed increments reflect how far

the scrolling wheel is turned. For example, when the scroll wheel is turned fully to the right, typically for fast-

forwarding through a script, the scroll wheel is on speed increment 7. A slight turn would be a lower speed

increment of 1 or 2.
The values displayed in the screen are default values. 45 and 50 at speed increment 5 and 6 represent the

average reading speed. Typically, the scroll speed increases as the wheel is turned further.
Using the shuttle for controlling scroll speed is particularly advantageous if you have to scroll through long

scripts, and where there is the need to thoroughly check the content of the same script, particularly during a

rehearsal. The shuttle allows you to scroll backwards and forwards, as well as ―fast-reverse‖ and ―fast-

forward‖ to different points of a script.
The speed increments allow you to alter reading speeds, where you can set low and high values at the

different speed increments. Changing speed increments is particularly useful as it allows you to synchronize

your reading speed with the reading speed of the presenter.
Removing your hand returns the shuttle to the centrecenter position and stops scrolling.

Scrolling with the jog control

If you assign to scroll control to the jog, you can also choose one of the following settings:
