Configuring the X-Keys Controller

You can use GV STRATUS Rundown with the X-keys Jog/Shuttle controller.

Many of the X-keys have been pre-configured on the Green layer; only the Toggle key has been pre-configured on the Red layer. You can change the default layout or add new commands on the unused keys.

Note: Before you can use the X-keys Jog/Shuttle controller, you need to install the X-keys Macro Works software. However, do not use the X-keys Macro Maker application to modify the keys.

Check Enable X-keys on the Function Keys tab and click Configure.
Click on the key that you want to configure or modify. A drop-down list displays the available commands.
Select a command to apply to this key.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to configure additional keys.
Once you have finished configuring keys, click OK.
In addition to keys, the controller comes with jog/shuttle knob. The jog control, the center disk of the knob, allows you to make precise frame by frame selections for editing. The outer rim can be used in Shuttle or Varispeed mode. The SH/VS key toggles between the two modes.

Shuttle and Varispeed modes both allow you to play clips at various preset fast forward, rewind, and slow-motion speeds. In Shuttle mode, when you release the knob the clip stops. In Varispeed mode, when you release the knob the clip keeps playing until you press the Stop key.
