Contour Shuttle Device Control Panel
Contour Shuttle Multimedia Controllers
Contour Shuttle device Driver version 2 - What's NEW!
With this new version of the Shuttle device driver, there are no longer two separate installers for ShuttlePRO series devices and ShuttleXpress: this driver supports all Shuttle devices. This driver version also adds a Shuttle icon (identified by the icon ) in the Menu bar. This icon is meant to help you to access the Shuttle configuration window (also known as Shuttle device Control Panel) more easily and to switch between settings faster when multiple application settings are available. Furthermore, for ShuttlePRO v2 owners, the driver provides a new important feature: the macro support. You will be able to choose amongst existing macros or you can create your own new macros with the Key Composer.
Installation notes overview
If you are using a Shuttle driver version earlier than 2.x, you must uninstall it before installing the new version (please refer to chapter 7 for guidance on how to accomplish this). Please note that you must export all custom application settings that you would like to save before uninstalling. Customized application settings can be imported after installation of the new driver. Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express users on Mac OS 10.3 (Panther) will need to change the keyboard commands used by the Expos feature in order to fully take advantage of this application. Please refer to the section Final Cut PRO and Final Cut Express on chapter 8 for guidance on how to perform the changes.

Introduction to Shuttle Devices
Contours Shuttle devices have been designed to enhance the productivity of multimedia content creators, but they also increase productivity in many other types of applications, including: graphics and photo editing word processing spreadsheet manipulation internet operations medical imaging any application that uses key commands Contour Shuttle devices consist of two (2) components: the ergonomically designed device itself and the software that allows you to manage it. All Contour Shuttle devices have a Jog wheel and a Shuttle ring that are programmable. The ShuttleXpress has five (5) programmable buttons, the ShuttlePRO has thirteen (13) programmable buttons, and the ShuttlePRO v2 has fifteen (15). The two top rows of buttons on the ShuttlePRO series have removable caps so the included labels can be inserted for quick reference as to which functions each button is programmed to perform. Buttons, Jog wheel and Shuttle ring will be referred to as Shuttle components.
Fig. 1-1 ShuttlePRO v2 Layout
With respect to the central Jog Wheel and Shuttle Ring, the ShuttlePRO v2 has: - two rows of buttons above, - two rows of buttons below, - one left-side button, - one right-side button. Buttons are numbered from left to right, from the top row to the bottom row, with the exception of the side buttons that are numbered the last. This leads to the following layout: - buttons 1 to 4 are on the top row, - buttons 5 to 9 are on the second row, - buttons 10 to 11 are on the third row, - buttons 12 to 13 are on the fourth row, - button 14 is the left-side button, - button 15 is the right-side button. The ShuttlePRO has the same layout of the ShuttlePRO v2 but it doesn't have the left-side and the right-side buttons. The ShuttleXpress has one single row of five buttons above the Jog Wheel and Shuttle Ring. Buttons are numbered 1 to 5 from left to right.

The Shuttle device software allows you to manage a specific configuration of your Shuttle device for every application you have on your computer. The software will automatically select the appropriate configuration according to the current active application. The installation package provides pre-installed settings (factory settings) for many common applications; you can modify these settings at anytime and/or create new settings for other applications, through the Shuttle device Control Panel.
Installing Shuttle Device Software

It is recommended to install the software before plugging your Shuttle device into any available USB port. Shuttle devices are plug and play: there is no need to shutdown and restart your computer when you plug or unplug the device from a USB port.

System Requirements

System running Mac OS 10.1 or later. Available USB port. (A direct USB port connection is desirable, but a hub connection will also work. Contour recommends using powered hubs and against using conversion devices, such as USB adapters.) 10 Mbyte of hard disk space for the Shuttle device driver installation.

Installation Procedure

Notes: 1) It is recommended that you close all other applications that may be running on your system and that you disable any virus protection software until after the installation is complete. 2) If you have any previous Shuttle devices driver installed on your system, please refer to chapter 7 (Updating or Uninstalling your Shuttle device Software) before proceeding. Step 1. Locate and double-click the.pkg file.
Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Step 5.
The Authenticate dialog box will prompt you: Installer requires that you type your passphrase. Type your login password then click Ok. A dialog box will prompt you through the rest of the installation process. Select a destination disk to install the Software and click Continue. Once installation is complete you should receive a message stating The software was successfully installed. Click Restart to restart your computer.
Shuttle Device Control Panel
The Shuttle device Control Panel is the component of the software that allows you to manage your Shuttle device by defining and/or modifying application settings. Application settings are the individual sets of actions associated to the Shuttle components for a pre-determined application. Stated differently, the Control Panel manages application settings. Changes performed on the application settings will take effect immediately. The Control Panel does not need to be open when you use the Shuttle device. The software automatically detects the program you are using and automatically switches to the correct application settings associated with the application.

Device Selection Menu

This menu is useful if you have more than one Shuttle device plugged into your computer: it allows you to select which Shuttle device application settings to display and manage.

User Action Menu

This menu allows you to choose which button(s) or feature(s) you wish to program. You can select any of the buttons, Jog right or left, Shuttle positions and transitions. Shuttle positions are points set in intervals along the right and left (clockwise and counterclockwise) sides of the Shuttle Knob. The Shuttle ring has seven (7) distinct zones in each direction and a rest zone. Shuttle transitions are points in between Shuttle positions. Note: The primary buttons, Jog directions and Shuttle positions can be accessed more easily by simply clicking the desired button or moving the Jog or Shuttle on the device itself. This will automatically bring its option up in the User Action Menu. In order to access the Shuttle transitions, you MUST use the pull-down menu.

Computer Response Menu

The Computer Response Menu allows you to pick a function that you want a button or other feature to perform: Do Nothing does what the name implies selection of this option means that the button or other feature will do nothing. Same as Lower Value will perform the same function as the immediately previous command on the shuttle knob. This command is only allowed on the Shuttle positions. Switch settings allows you to define any of the Shuttle components to perform as a toggle in cases where an application has more than one application setting defined. This Computer Response will be described in chapter 4. Type Keystroke on the menu allows you to type a keyboard shortcut in the Keystroke field. The text associated with Keystroke field (Comment field) provides additional guidance. Press Modifier Keys This option allows you to place one or more Modifier keys in a given target button. The Modifier keys are the Control, Option, Command, Shift and Lock keys. Open File or Folder allows you to open any file or application. Scroll Up, Down, Left, Right will allow you to associate a scrolling. Mouse Click, Double Click, Triple Click, Click Lock, Right Click, Middle Click will allow you to associate one of the click. Volume Up, Volume Down, Mute Volume will allow you to

4. A dialog box will prompt you to locate the target application. Select the application you want the new settings to be associated with and click Choose in the right hand of the dialog box. 5. Choose a name for the new setting then click OK. The name of the application will now appear in the Application Setting Menu. Refer to paragraph 5.2 to change the application setting name. All the Shuttle components are set the same as the setting in which you copied them from. Refer to paragraph 3.3 for guidance on how to modify their function. 6. Once you have completed the desired changes, close the Shuttle device Control Panel. You are ready to use the setting(s) within the selected application of your choice. Note: you will create the application settings for all Shuttle devices.

Create Empty Settings

This function allows you to create new settings for any application on your computer. This application should meet one of the following criteria: allow keyboard shortcuts to various functions within the application, support scrolling and/or moving along time lines or frames. Before analyzing the procedure itself, here are a couple of tips that can be useful when you want to create new settings from scratch. For the buttons: 1. create a list of all the keyboard shortcuts available for your application. 2. identify the ones you use most frequently. 3. associate the keyboard shortcuts to the buttons in the way that is most comfortable and efficient for you. Jog and Shuttle are very useful for scrolling and/or moving along a time line or time frame. The Shuttle positions are usually associated with the same Computer response, but the related frequencies will differ. In order to create new settings: 1. Click on the Application Setting Menu and select Create new settings. 2. Click on the first item Create Empty Settings.
3. A dialog box will prompt you to locate the target application. Select the application you want to create settings for and click Choose in the right hand of the dialog box. The file you should select is normally the executable file (.app) for the application. 4. Choose a name for the new setting then click OK. The name of the setting will now appear in the Application Setting Menu. Refer to paragraph 5.2 to change the setting name. All the Shuttle components are set by default to Type Keystroke with empty Keystroke field. Refer to paragraph 3.3 for guidance on how to modify their function. 5. Close the Shuttle device Control Panel and use the setting(s) within the selected application of your choice. Notes: 1) You will create the application settings for all Shuttle devices. 2) It is strongly recommended that you set up all of the Shuttle positions. If you do not want a Shuttle Knob position to perform a function, then set that position to Do Nothing or Same as Lower Value. Contour Shuttle Multimedia Controllers 17

Import Settings

Note: This import capability exists ONLY when an established setting is available. An alternate approach could be to export a setting and, in so doing, give it a different name the one you want to use for a future import. 1. Click on the Application Setting Menu and select Import settings. 2. Locate the setting you wish to import. 3. Once you have chosen the setting you want to import click Choose. This setting will now appear in the Application Setting Menu. Note: Once the Application Settings have been imported, you can use the settings immediately, with or without the Control Panel open.

Export Settings

If you want to export an application set, in order to share it with other users, or back it up for security: 1. Click on the Application Setting Menu and select the application setting you would like to export. (After so doing, you should now see this setting name highlighted in the Application Setting Menu). 2. Click on the Application Setting Menu again and select Export settings from the pull-down menu. 3. A dialog box will prompt you to type a name for the file that will be created and to choose its destination folder. Once you have done so, click on Save in the lower right hand of the dialog box.

Remove Settings

You may want to remove (delete) an application setting from the application settings list. Notes: 1) The operation cant be undone. 2) With this operation you will remove the application settings for all Shuttle devices. 1. Click on the Application Setting Menu and select the application setting you would like to remove. (You should now see this setting name in the Application Setting Menu). 2. Click on the Application Setting Menu again and select Remove settings. 3. A dialog box will prompt you: Do you want to remove your custom application settings for name of the selected application?. Click Remove. The application setting is now removed from the Application Setting Menu. Note: you can import the same setting again later as we maintain a list of settings available for download on our website. This is sometimes useful as well when Contour releases a new version of settings for a particular application that we have found a better solution for.

Rename Settings

If you want to rename an application setting: 1. Click on the Application Setting Menu and select the application setting you would like to rename. (You should now see this setting name in the Application Setting Menu). 2. Click on the Application Setting Menu again and select Rename Settings from the pulldown menu. 3. Enter a name of your choice (up to 31 characters) in the Application Setting field. You MUST use a different name for each setting. 4. Press OK on your keyboard to save the new name.

Applications specific topics
Apple Final Cut PRO and Final Cut Express (ShuttlePRO v2 and ShuttlePRO users on Mac OS 10.3) Q: I have a ShuttlePRO device on Mac OS 10.3 and the Insert Edit command and the Overwrite Edit command dont do what theyre supposed to do. A: This happens because the Expos feature of Mac OS 10.3.x (Panther), by default, uses two of the same keyboard commands as Final Cut. The All windows command of Expos is F9, which is also the Insert Clip command of Final Cut. The Application windows command of Expos is F10, which is also the Overwrite Edit command of Final Cut. If you would like to use the Overwrite Edit and Insert Edit commands within Final Cut and from the Shuttle device you will need to reconfigure Expos, heres how: 1. Launch System Preferences, and choose Expos. 2. In the Keyboard section change the key command for All windows, and Application windows to something other than their default values of F9 and F10 respectively. Alternatively, if you do not want to change the default key commands for Expos, you can reassign the Insert Edit and Overwrite Edit functions from within the Keyboard Layout feature of Final Cut. You will then need to reassign these functions for both the Final Cut Pro/Express (Edit Viewer), and (Edit Timeline) settings from within the Shuttle device Contour Shuttle Multimedia Controllers 31
Control Panel. Please consult the Final Cut users guide for detailed instructions on adjusting the Keyboard layout in Final Cut. Please refer to paragraph 3.4 for detailed instructions on modifying shuttle application settings. Apple Final Cut PRO and Final Cut Express Q: What are the differences between the three Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express application settings? A: There are 3 Final Cut settings: Final Cut Pro/Express (Edit Viewer), Final Cut Pro/Express (Edit Timeline), and Final Cut Pro/Express (Log & Capture). The (Edit Viewer) setting loads by default. Use the Final Cut Pro/Express (Edit Viewer) and Final Cut Pro/Express (Edit Timeline) settings for editing tasks in the Viewer, Canvas, and Timeline. The button assignments are the same for both settings. The difference between them is how the Shuttle ring is programmed: - The (Edit Viewer) setting uses frame advance commands for precise shuttle control. This setting is optimized for the Viewer window. - The (Edit Timeline) setting uses the JKL play transport commands to shuttle at different speeds of play. This setting is optimized for the Timeline. The (Log & Capture) setting is optimized for the Log & Capture window. Use this setting for controlling your DV camera or VTR from within the Log and Capture window. Please note the changes of the button assignments compared to the two Edit settings. Emagic Logic Audio Q: How do I use my Shuttle device with Logic Audio? A: To utilize the Shuttle device mapping with Logic Audio to its fullest extent, it is necessary to use the provided Logic Preferences file. This file contains Logic's default key commands plus a few extra assignments that map out to the Shuttle device controls. Importing the accompanying Logic Preferences file is necessary, as some of these advanced functions are not assigned by default. Due to the highly configurable nature of Logic Audio, please be aware that by replacing your Logic Preferences via the steps outlined below, you will be erasing all user-made key assignments. If you want to utilize the Shuttle device with your pre-existing key commands, it is of course quite easy to change the key assignments that the Shuttle device sends accordingly. Please refer to the Shuttle device Control Panel, where all functions are notated under the comments field. To configure Logic Audio for your Shuttle device: 1. Open Logic Audio. 2. Open Key Commands Window (Options>Settings>Key Commands). 3. Choose "Import Key Commands." from the window's Options menu. 4. Select the Logic Preferences file that came with the Shuttle device and click "Open". Media 100 Q: The buttons on my Shuttle device do not work / stopped working with Media 100. A: You must turn on transport controls within Media 100 software to enable your Shuttle device to function correctly. First, launch Media 100, it must be the front most window. Second, press "Shift+Num Lock/Clear" to toggle transport controls to On. Contour Shuttle Multimedia Controllers 32

Run Uninstall Contour Shuttle to remove any previously installed Shuttle drivers if necessary. 3. Run Contour Shuttle.pkg to install version 2.0.2. The Expose feature of OS 10.3.x (Panther), by default, uses two of the same keyboard commands as Final Cut. The All Windows command of Expose is F9, which is also the Insert Clip command of Final Cut. The Application Windows command of Expose is F10, which is also the Overwrite Edit command of Final Cut. If you would like to use the Overwrite Edit and Insert Edit commands within Final Cut and from the Shuttle device you will need to reconfigure Expose, heres how: 1. Launch System Preferences, and choose Expose. 2. In the Keyboard section change the key command for All windows, and Application windows to something other than their default values of F9 and F10 respectively. Alternatively, if you do not want to change the default key commands for Expose, you can reassign the Insert Edit and Overwrite Edit functions from within the Keyboard Layout feature of Final Cut. You will then need to re-assign these functions for both the Final Cut Pro/Express (Edit Viewer), and (Edit Timeline) settings from within the Shuttle control panel application. Please consult the Final Cut user guide for detailed instructions on adjusting the Keyboard layout in Final Cut. Please refer to the Shuttle user guide for detailed instructions on modifying shuttle application settings.

Tutorial

The Shuttle device driver has two main components: The Shuttle Control Panel application, and the Shuttle Helper. Understanding the functions of these two components is the key to being able to use the shuttle correctly. The Shuttle Control Panel application (Dig. 1) is for managing your application settings. With the Shuttle Control Panel application you can view, modify and create application settings. You cannot select which setting is currently active with it.
Dig. 1 The Shuttle Helper (Dig. 2) is the small shuttle icon in the menu bar next to the clock. It monitors what application you are currently using and automatically loads the application settings. If there are no settings available for the current application the Shuttle Helper will load the Global Settings setting. You can launch the Shuttle Control Panel application from it by choosing Shuttle Settings
Dig. 2 There are three different Final Cut application settings that are pre-installed. Final Cut Pro/Express (Edit Viewer), Final Cut Pro/Express (Edit Timeline), and Final Cut Pro/Express (Log & Capture). The Edit Viewer setting loads by default. The check mark in front of it indicates that it is the active setting. To switch to either of the two other settings: Click the shuttle helper icon, and then click to select the setting you want to use. The features of the three different settings are explained in detail on the following setup sheets.
ShuttlePRO V2 Final Cut Pro/Express (Edit Viewer), and (Edit Timeline) settings Use these two settings for editing tasks in the Viewer, Canvas, and Timeline. The button assignments are exactly the same for both settings and are outlined below. The difference between them is how the Shuttle ring is programmed. The (Edit Viewer) setting uses frame advance commands for precise shuttle control. This setting is optimized for the Viewer window. The (Edit Timeline) setting uses the JKL play transport commands to shuttle at different speeds of play. This setting is optimized for the Timeline.
ShuttlePRO V2 Final Cut Pro/Express (Log & Capture) setting The (Log & Capture) setting is optimized for the Log & Capture window. Use this setting for controlling your DV camera or VTR from within the Log and Capture window. Note the changes of the button assignments compared to the two Edit settings.
