control of RADAR® with access to all editing,
transport control and utility/system functions.

switches to allow hands-free control. Keys are
arranged in groups to make them easier to learn
as well as reducing unnecessary hand movements.

JOG/SHUTTLE
OPERATION
RADAR® 's Jog/Shuttle modes provide fast,
precise location in recorded material. Shuttle
Mode uses the Jog Wheel to vary the speed and
direction of audio for locating points; Jog Mode
allows you to "scrub" the audio to find
exact locations.
The Session Controller connects to the RADAR®
using a DB37 connector on the Session Controller
side and a DB9 9pin connector, and DC power jack
(which supplies +12 V power) on the RADAR®
side. The LED screen is 16 x 2 characters and
measures 4 inches by 1 inch. Other connections
on the Session Controller include 3 footswitches
and a mouse port. The footswitches are preset
to Play/Stop, Punch in/out and Cue to last locate
point. Currently, the mouse/mouse port is not
functional, but will be useful for future functionality.
