ShuttleXpress
The controller is designed for one-hand access to the buttons and jog/shuttle knob. The inner
'jog' control rotates through 360 degrees and provides precision forward and reverse scrolling.
The outer black ring or 'shuttle' is rubberized and spring-loaded. The controller is connected via
a USB port.
The ShuttleXpress has five fully programmable buttons.
Connect a Shuttle controller to a USB port on your computer. The operating system will detect the
device and install it as a “USB Human Interface Device”.
Note: Do not install the software from the mini-CD that is supplied with the Contour Design
controllers
.
The ‘shuttle’ and ‘jog’ controls
The Contour Design controllers include independently assigned wheel and button inputs on
the knob to perform scrolling and other prompting actions, such as moving from one script to
the next in a runorder.
These controls are referred to as the 'shuttle' and the 'jog'
The shuttle is the rubberised outer wheel. Turn the shuttle to the right to start forward scrolling
and to the left for reverse scrolling. The shuttle is spring loaded, so that when it is released it
returns to the original pre-scrolling position. The shuttle delivers a smooth scrolling action.
The inner wheel is the alloy-based jog control. This is not spring loaded making it suitable for
controlling movement between stories in a script. Turn the jog to the right to jump to the next
story and to the left for the previous story.
Default action assignment
Scroll speed is assigned to the shuttle and previous/next story jump is assigned to the jog.
The shuttle and jog controls can operate at the same time. For example, if you are
scrolling with the shuttle and turn the jog, the script will jump to the next story and
continue scrolling from that point.
