3.2 Using the Trackball
A trackball is used to work within the screens.
Click on buttons to perform functions and access
functions by moving the on-screen pointer.
Note: the trackball shown here is only an example.
Another model may be supplied with your
machine, but it will function in a similar manner.
The trackball consists of three components:
(1) Ball
This is used to move the screen cursor or, in the
Trim and Split
screens, to scroll through the
video.
(2) Left button (selection button)
This is used for selecting. You press a button on
the screen by positioning the cursor over the
on-screen button and pressing (clicking) the left
trackball button.
(3) Right button (cancel button)
This button returns you to the previous state,
canceling or stopping the current operation. Pres-
sing this button without having selected anything
will return you to the previous screen. Pressing
the cancel button when you are making settings
cancels anything you have just set and reinstates
the prior settings. If you are playing or recording
video, then clicking the cancel button will cause
playback or recording to stop.
What is a click?
A click is simply when you press down and
quickly release one of the trackball's buttons.
You hear a quiet clicking sound. "Click on the ...
button" means that you position the cursor on
the corresponding field on the screen with the
ball and then press and release the left trackball
button to select (click) the on-screen button.
Computer users will please note that
Casablanca
Prestige has neither a "double-click" nor a "drag"
operation. These operations are not needed for
our easy-to-use system.
Why use a trackball and not a mouse?
Many users may ask this question. After all, a
trackball is usually more expensive than a simple
mouse, and the mouse is better when using a
computer. The reason for our decision can be
found in the editing philosophy of
Casablanca
Prestige . The trackball has the one big advantage
that you can use it in your hand or lap without
having to use a table. A mouse would also require
too much space, especially when "scrolling"
through the entire hour-long video for trimming
or splitting purposes.
It is possible to use a mouse instead of a trackball.
If you would rather use a mouse, please contact
your
Casablanca Prestige
dealer. Not every mouse
model is compatible.
3.3 The user interface
The user interface of Casablanca Prestige con-
tains various elements. These elements are explai-
ned here, although they are fairly obvious.
Light gray buttons can be selected (clicked). Dark
gray buttons cannot be activated. Using certain
functions may cause some buttons to de-activate,
meaning they cannot be used.
Some buttons may appear usable but at the
moment have no corresponding function. If they
are clicked, a white, crossed-out circle appears
indicating that no function is currently possible.
