PC mode and Media Mode

Chapter 5 PC mode and Media mode

The Studio Commander's hardware have two modes, PC mode and Media mode.
PC mode is used for keyboard, or text input or other PC file operations. Media mode si for the multimedia application control.

If you do not have the Studio Input software installed, these two modes are two code pages.
The media mode is reserved for Media player for Microsoft. The PC mode is reserved for Powerpoint and Picture & FAX viewer. For other application program, the support is less strong.

When the Studio Input software is stalled, the PC mode becomes a keyboard input mode. You may input any text in any language using this mode. The Media mode becomes the multimedia application mode. You may control any software to achieve your functions.

When Studio Input first started, the software will be in PC mode (Numerical input). The numerical input is considered to be the standby mode for Studio Input. That means, you may enter any text or any command using normal keyboard in this mode without feeling there is any difference from your normal keyboard without Studio Input. When you click the PC mode again, the system will start to rotate into several language. Each time you press the blue key once, the system will choose an active language. You may set the active or inactive by using the Keymap editor and System setting tool provide in the same package of Studio Input.

Once you are in the English input mode, there will be a small "en" letter at the right bottom tray of the system. This means lowercase English input mode. You may change the input mode to leading upper case which will show "En" and uppercase which will show "EN" by pressing the mode ("*") key. The leading uppercase is for the input of a word which has leading capital letter. The uppercase will return all uppercase for you.

Once you are done with input, you may click the ESC key or the cross button at the upper right corner of the software to finish the input process.

The small keyboard icon on the IME is reserved for you to open and close the software keypad.
The software keypad is useful for you to enter the letters without using the keypad on your remote unit, if you are not used to it.

The question mark will give you the help pages.

If you click on the blue key again, the system will rotate into several input languages. Finally, it will return back to number mode (numerical mode or standby mode).
