Legal Information
We recommend that you carefully read the information in this manual, in order to avoid operator errors. We have taken great care in developing and testing this program. Since it is currently not possible to guarantee error-free operation under all circumstances and at all times, we can unfortunately not entirely exclude that some errors may have crept in. Hence, MacroSystem Digital Video GmbH and its distributors do not guarantee a problem-free or completely error-free operation of the product.
We cannot accept any liability for loss of data/time or any consequential damages that may occur as a result, particularly since we have no influence over correct software installation and operation by the customer. MacroSystem Digital Video GmbH and its dealers therefore cannot be held liable for any defects or unintentional damage in connection with the installation or use of the MacroSystem Shuttle TT.
Claims for damages and compensation, regardless of the legal basis, in particular due to breach of duties in connection with obligation or tortuous acts are therefore excluded. This shall not apply in the case of mandatory liability, e.g. under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz), in the case of intent, gross negligence, injury of life, body or health, or breach of essential contractual obligations. Damage compensation entitlement for breach of essential contractual obligations is, however, limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract, unless there is willful intent or gross negligence or in case of injury to life, body or health. The provisions above do not imply a change of the burden of proof to the detriment of the purchaser.
Neither MacroSystem Digital Video GmbH nor its dealers are responsible for any damages resulting either directly or indirectly through the use of the software or the operating instructions. This applies in particular to loss of profits and compensation for expenses. Any implied guarantee is excluded, including guarantee of suitability of the software or operating instructions for a particular purpose.
For this reason, you should make a backup of your video footage before you start using the device. We recommend that you do not delete the video footage and that you create a backup copy beforehand. Since it is possible that changes were made to the software after the manual was prepared, the functions shown and described in this manual might differ from the software.

1. General information
1.1 Welcome
Thank you very much for purchasing the Shuttle TT. We are grateful for your confidence and we hope that this product will live up to your expectations. The Shuttle TT will give you the opportunity to use your Casa­blanca video editing system even more intensively than before.

2. Installation
In contrast with other add-on products, the Shuttle-TT soft­ware must not be installed. It has been factory pre-installed on all devices with the corresponding Bogart version and you only need to acquire the license code to activate it. After activating the product, you can simply connect the Shuttle TT via a USB port and work with it. It is not important which USB port you use to do this, since all ports have the same functionality. Please refer to the hardware manual for your device to find out where the USB ports are.
The top nine buttons of the shuttle have removable button covers. This makes it possible to simply label them with the supplied preprinted template. It is up to you whether you de­cide to put the letters under the button covers or – depending on the button configuration (please refer to the next chapter) – if you use the symbols in accordance with the configuration table.
Up-to-date information on MacroSystem products and our sales department can be found on the Internet. Please visit our website: http://www.macrosystem.us
Phone support If you have special technical questions, you can call our tech­nical support hotline: 303-801-1010 Monday - Friday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time) When calling, please have the serial number of your device at hand. Outside of these times, please e-mail us. Messages received in this way are handled during business hours.

1.2 What is Shuttle TT?
The Shuttle TT is an input and control device used mainly for trimming and splitting and that will make this work both easier and faster. It cannot replace the trackball in all menus, but it does provide a meaningful addition in many menus. The Shuttle TT has 15 different buttons for navigating in differ­ent menus and also a so-called jog-wheel. This function con­sists of an external rocker (jog) with which you can fast forward and rewind (e.g. when splitting or trimming) and an internal wheel with which you can go frame by frame.

3. Operation
3.1 Functions of the individual buttons
For the buttons A-I, the shuttle TT offers two configuration possibilities from which you can choose. You will find the func­tions of the individual buttons in the different configurations modes in the chapter Configuration of buttons in individual menus. A button has not been assigned a function if a menu is not listed. The assignment can be change by pressing the Z button (not possible in all menus). The L and R buttons have similar functions as both big track­ball buttons, but they don‘t replace them. Use L to confirm a choice or an action, such as marking a scene in the scene bin, and use R to abort or reject. Directly controlling the elements under the mouse pointer is not possible, however.
The W button opens the navigation menu, in which you may use the wheel of the Shuttle TT to select the menu you want to access. This choice can be confirmed with L, rejected with R.
Depending on the menu, the X button is used to abort an ac­tion. The table below contains an overview of the correspond­ing action in each menu:

The Y button is used to switch between using the storyboard and the scene bin in the Edit menu, identified by a symbol for the title text of the part that is active at the time. This button is also used to switch between the storyboard and the ef­fect list in the transition, image processing and title effects. In Video, Splitting, Trimming and Inserting, the Y button can be used to change the position of the tool bar, just as in Duration in the “Audio dubbing” menu and “Individual image” in Video effects. In the “Audio dubbing” menu, pressing this button will switch between the storyboard and the timeline display, if the Gold Edition has been installed on your device. The Z button includes the configuration options of buttons A-I, which you can select.

list.
When using wheel and jog, the so-called jog-wheel, you will be able to control these also with both components, in all menus where the storyboard is displayed. If you turn the external jog, you will roll through the storyboard, just as you would with the slider located below the storyboard. Other than the wheel, the jog has a resting position and can be turned in both directions until it reaches a clear stop. The farther you turn, the faster the scroll movement is in that direction. Use the inner wheel if you want to navigate scene by scene through the storyboard, it will behave in a similar way as the individual buttons located below the storyboard. In the Edit menu there is also the possibility to navigate through the scene bin with the wheel or the jog. The inner wheel is used, just as with the storyboard, to scroll image by image through the scene bin. The jog behaves like the slider. If you are in one of the “Video effect” menus, both components will allow you to navigate through the active effect list. The wheel will allow you to scroll slowly, whereas the jog will allow you to scroll faster through the effect list. As described before, the Y button can be used to select what has to be controlled by the wheel or the jog. Sliders and individual context menus can also be used through the wheel or the jog. The selection can accordingly be con­firmed with L or rejected with R. Selecting a piece of music to insert in audio dubbing is also possible. Additionally, the wheel or the jog can also be used in the au­dio dubbing menu to scroll through the individual sound clips of the active sound track.
3.2 Key assignments in individual menus
Below, you will find a list of the functions that can be con­trolled by buttons A-I, depending on the assignments. Some function could not present, depending on whether you are using the Basic, Silver or Gold Edition. The lists indicate the situation at the moment of writing. It is possible that the functions and available assignments will be expanded.
Labelling the buttons with the supplied prints will help you to become familiar with the operation of the shuttle as fast as possible. Besides letters, we also offer you symbols to make it easier to assign the functions:
