Chapter 4 Configuring Aurora Playout
Configuring the X-Keys Controller
You can use Aurora Playout with the X-keys Jog/Shuttle controller. For installation
information, see
“Connecting the X-keys Jog/Shuttle Controller” on page 38 . Many
of the X-keys have been pre-configured on the Green layer; only the Toggle key has
been pre-configured on the Red layer. You can change the default layout or add new
commands on the unused keys.
NOTE: Before you can use the X-keys Jog/Shuttle controller, you need to install the
X-keys Macro Works software. However, do not use the X-keys Macro Maker
application to modify the keys.
To configure or modify a key:
1. Check Enable X-keys on the Function Keys tab and click Configure .
2. Click on the key that you want to configure or modify. A drop-down list displays
the available commands.
3. Select a command to apply to this key.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to configure additional keys.
5. Once you have finished configuring keys, click OK .
In addition to the keys, the controller comes with jog/shuttle knob. The jog control,
the center disk of the knob, allows you to make precise frame by frame selections for
editing. The outer rim can be used in Shuttle or Varispeed mode. The SH/VS key
toggles between the two modes.
Enable X-keys On (checked)
Off (unchecked)
Check Enable X-keys to allow Aurora Playout to
