These keys are used primarily to create events, mark IN and OUT times for scenes, trigger mixers (GPI
M) and titlers (GPI-T), create Insert and Split Insert Events, and start an auto-record, preview or review
of your production.
Transport Keys
Located at the bottom of the keypad are five Transport keys. They are, from left to right, Rewind, Stop,
Pause, Play and Fast Forward.
The Transport keys (and the jog/shuttle) are used to control the currently selected VCR (except Record
VCRs using Infrared control).
Jog/Shuttle
The jog/shuttle is used to locate and mark the scenes you want to record. It can control all of your VCRs
(except record VCRs using Infrared control), and it can be used for both rough and fine positioning.
The amount of control you get from the jog/shuttle depends on the capabilities of the VCR. If the VCR
does not have any speeds between pause and play, then you will not be able to get them with the jog/
shuttle. If, however, the VCR supports both frame-by-frame control and speeds as slow as 1/30th x Play,
the jog/shuttle will provide this same level of control.
