Mass-Assignment of Hot Keys
One method of quickly reassigning Hot Keys is to place all required cuts into a single directory. The
cuts can be mass-assigned to Hot Keys from the directory level. Organize the cuts in the directory by
Index number. The lowest index number in the directory will be assigned to Hot Key “A” and its
equivalents, and so on. More than one directory can hold cuts for this purpose, so that by using mass-
assignment, Hot Keys can be re-mapped rather quickly. These directories can hold more cuts than will
be used for Hot Keys, only cuts up to Index number 103 will be assigned.
1. Select the first cut or Linear Playlist in a directory you wish to assign.
2. Go to the directory level.
3. Press the UTILITY button (or F1 ) and select ASSIGN HOT KEY.
4. Turn ON the keyboard’s Scroll Lock. Use the selection knob to choose the Hot Key
number or alpha-character for the Hot Key where the assignment is to begin.
5. Press the ENTER button to begin the mass assignment. Assignment will continue until all
cuts in the directory are assigned or all available Hot Keys are filled. Assignment
continues to the end of your sort sequence and does not wrap around to continue at the
beginning.
Viewing Hot Keys
Press the UTILITY button (or F1 ) and select ASSIGN HOT KEY or CLEAR HOT KEY.
Use the selection controls to scan the list of Hot Keys. The lower line of the display will show ID and
name (if labeled) of assigned items.
Exit the mode by pressing EXIT , or either F1 or ESC on the keyboard.
Clear Hot Key
Clears a Hot Key assignment. Equivalent key assignments on other devices will be cleared at the same
time. For example, clearing key A on the keyboard will also clear the assignments for Hot Key 1 on
an RC-series remote, and Bank-A/Key-1 on the DigiCart/E front panel.
Press the UTILITY button (or F1 ) and select CLEAR HOT KEY.
Use the selection controls to scan the list of Hot Keys. The lower line of the display will show ID and
name (if labeled) of assigned items.
Press ENTER to clear the assignment. Continue making other Hot Key assignments, or exit the mode
by pressing either F1 or ESC.
You may clear multiple Hot Keys in the current directory by entering the CLEAR HOT KEY mode
from the directory level. Clearing begins with the Hot Key index number shown on the display. EXIT
terminates after clearing the currently displayed selection.
Hot Key Lists
As a new feature in DigiCart/E, Hot Key assignments can be stored and recalled in two ways, either
Network Drive or Local. The chief benefit of using Net Drive Hot Keys is that those Hot Key
assignments can be accessed by one or more users concurrently from anywhere on the network. All
recordings linked to Net Drive Hot Keys must be on the current network drive, in any of the current
drive’s directories.
