2. The Portable Keypad

The EZ Commander keypad works in two different modes - PC and Media modes. PC and

Media keys are the two switch function keys on EZ Commander.

When you press Media key, EZ Commander switches to Media mode. Key functions of EZ
Commander in Media mode aredisplayed in figure 1. Most keys are defined as media control

keys, such as Play ( ), Pause ( ), etc. By default, these keys are defined to control
Microsoft Windows Media Player (with hardware only). EZ Input allows users using these media

control keys to control other popular media applications, such as PowerPoint, Real Player, iTune,
or WinDVD withoutan effort, so EZ Commander can work as a universal remote control to
almost every popular software on PC. To playback music, videos, or manage the presentation in a
conference, is as EZ as the touch of a button. For a list of supported software, please refer to the

Media Software Key Mapping Support List.
In Media mode, you may press INS key (as seen in fig. 1) to switch between programs on the

taskbar. For Windows Vista users, press INS key to cycle through programs on the taskbar by
using Windows Flip 3-D. Press Enter key to select your working program and switch back to
the desktop.
