Controller Modes of Operation

The KeyShot and RackShot can operate either as a generic
controller or as an Odetics controller.

As a generic controller, the KeyShot and RackShot connect to a
host computer, which acts on button presses and sends feedback to
the KeyShot or RackShot in the form of text or graphics on the 10
LCD buttons.

As an Odetics controller, the KeyShot or RackShot can control a
VTR, audio deck, video server that supports the Sony 9 pin P2 or
Odetics protocol. In the Odetics mode, an KeyShot Series RS-422
Interface Card must be installed.

To switch between the two modes of operation, press SHIFT and
F4 simultaneously. Turn the knob to scroll between the different
modes. When the desired mode is displayed, press SHIFT to select
that mode. The mode change occurs immediately.

Using as a Host Controller

Since the functionality of the KeyShot or RackShot is defined by
the host application, please refer to your host applications
documentation for details on how to use the KeyShot or RackShot
with your application.
