CHAPTER V

MISCELLANEOUS OPERATIONS

Many of the more specialized functions of Shortcut make it a valuable tool for the

broadcast industry. This chapter presents a collection of unrelated features you will find
valuable when using the machine.

DIRECTORY AND FILE ORGANIZATION

Directories

The storage space in the Shortcut editor is divided into ten regions called Directories, each

containing up to 200 Files. Each Directory can be given a unique name, such as "SPORTS" as a
convenient way to segregate recordings for different purposes. These directory divisions might
be for different shows, or for different users within a facility.

Nine Directories can be protected with passwords to prevent unauthorized access. As a

convenience, Shortcut contains one "Public Directory" that is never password protected. The
Public Directory is a preferred place to store new recordings when it is not clear where they
will eventually go.

Pressing the

DIR

key gives access to a listing of the ten Directories. Each is shown by

name and by a number. A Directory may be selected by using the

SCRUB WHEEL

,

ARROW

keys or

GO TO

keys to scroll through the list of entries, followed by

ENTER

. Or, you may simply enter

the directory number on the numeric keys for immediate access. Use the letter "P" for the
Public Directory.

Entering the Record mode before a Directory has been opened will open the currently

highlighted name in the Directory Listing, unless it is password protected. In that case, the
Public Directory will be selected and opened.
