FASTACTION KEYBOARD
The FastAction Keyboard (FAK) enables you to perform common tasks in
Deko500 with a single keystroke. It is designed for use in real-time on-air
environments, where speed is critical. Based on a standard PC 101 keyboard, the
FAK provides additional keys for one keystroke accessibility to many of
Deko500’s functions. The FAK also provides an alphanumeric display so you
can enter or view the filename of the next graphic to be read.
An enhanced version of the standard PC keyboard, the FAK works like a
standard keyboard when using other Windows applications. It provides the
standard PC 101 keyboard layout, function keys (F1 - F12), and numeric
keypad.
The function keys can be enabled to access the functions engraved on the
keycap (i.e., F9=Bold, etc.). T he enhanced function keys mirror t he text bar
functions on the Deko500 desktop.
The numeric keypad can be enabled to provide FastAction access to reading
files. You can quickly call up grap hics with numerical filenames by t yp ing the
filename on the numeric keypad. The alphanumeric display shows the filename
as it is being typed, then advances to display the next sequential file.
