CommandPost
To help you get started quickly, CommandPost comes
with a series of pre-programmed keysets for the most
popular multimedia applications. You can use the key-
sets as is, or adapt them to your particular needs. In
addition, you can create your own keysets for any
application that uses keyboard shortcuts.
Templates
The CommandPost package contains two plastic tem-
plates you can use to overlay the controller compo-
nents. It also contains two sheets of adhesive labels—
one pre-printed with command keyboard shortcuts, the
other blank. You can customize the templates to match
any given multimedia application. When you switch
from one application to another, simply swap the tem-
plates.
Tip
We recommend you use CommandPost with your favor-
ite applications for a while before preparing the templates
for use with each one.
INSTALLATION
Follow these steps to install your CommandPost con-
troller and software.
Controller Installation
Examine the two ends of the USB cable. One end has a
rectangular connector, whereas the other end has a
square connector. This helps you connect things in the
proper way.
Note
One of the advantages of the USB technology is
that you can connect and disconnect devices with-
out shutting down your computer.
