as well as “fast-reverse” and “fast-forward” to different points of a script.
The speed increments allow you to alter reading speeds, where you can set low and high
values at the different speed increments. Changing speed increments is particularly useful as
it allows you to synchronize your reading speed with the reading speed of the presenter.
Removing your hand returns the shuttle to the centre position and stops scrolling.
Scrolling with the jog control
If you assign to scroll control to the jog, you can also choose one of the following settings:
Sensitive jog speed allows scrolling to take place at relatively high speed as soon as the jog is
moved to the right. Turning the jog back to the left lets you return to the original position at
relatively high speed.
Normal jog speed allows scrolling at a normal speed to take place as soon as the jog is
moved to the right. Turning the jog back to the left lets you return to the original position at
normal speed.
Insensitive jog speed allows scrolling to take place at a relatively slow speed when the jog is
turned to the right. Turning the jog back to the left lets you return to the original position at a
relatively slow speed.
The sensitive setting is best suited for more experienced operators who are familiar with
rapidly pinpointing information in a script. It is also suitable for performing operations
quickly such as during a time-constrained rehearsal.
The insensitive setting is suited for scripts with fewer lines of text, where performing tasks at
speed is not essential.
Story jumps with the shuttle
Story jumps can be assigned to the shuttle. By turning the wheel slightly to the right, it is
possible to jump to the next story in the runorder. Turning the wheel slightly to the left will jump
to the previous story in the runorder. The following subsections describe user suitability for the
shuttle and the procedure that needs to be followed to set story jumps.
This is particularly useful for operators that have many smaller scripts in their runorders,
and need to check multiple scripts quickly. Using story jumps is particularly useful during a
rehearsal.
Story jumps with the jog
By turning the jog to the right, you jump to the next story. Turning the jog to the left will jump
to the previous story in the runorder. Using the jog wheel for story jumps is particularly useful
for those users that need to jump quickly from one script to the next, such as when scripts
need to be changed quickly during a rehearsal.
