Checklist: Setting up an X-keys USB Keypad
MediaCentral Command interfaces with the X-keys
®
USB keypad for playout control. The X-keys
USB keypads connect to the USB port the Command Workstation and offer up to fifty-eight user-
reprogrammable keys for one-button access to playout functionality.
n
X-keys is third-party hardware. Command natively supports a variety of X-keys devices, which are
configured through the Command Workstation application. Native support gives users an added level
of functionality that is not available through the X-keys Macro Works software. See the MediaCentral
Command ReadMe for the specific X-keys devices that are supported.
You can also use the Macro Works software, a keyboard emulator, with any X-keys device. For more
information on X-keys USB keypads, see that manufacturer’s documentation on www.xkeys.com.
