Grass Valley Aurora Playout v.6.5 - Manual (Page 53)

Using the X-keys Jog/Shuttle Controller
The X-keys controller allows you to simplify your workflow. For example, you can
use the default layout to easily navigate between different channels or between the
Playlist and Clip Browser windows.
Any commands you send using the X-keys controller apply to the currently active
channel or window, which is considered to have
focus . When a channel has focus,
you can perform tasks such as navigating through a clip or trimming a clip. When a
window has focus, you can scroll through the clips or the playlist. Always bear in
mind that you need to give focus to a channel or window before you can apply the
X-keys controller commands to it.
The following table describes the pre-configured keys on the X-keys Jog/Shuttle
controller.
