X-keys and Your Industry: Efficiency at its Best!
Birmingham (PRWEB UK) 30 November 2016 -- As the UK’s distributor of X-keys programmable keypads and accessories, Keyboard Specialists (KBS) knows how you can utilise programmable keypads to the utmost, increasing efficiency and minimising work load. X-keys self-programming keyboards can be customised on Windows, Mac, and Android based operating systems, and can emulate USB keyboard, mouse, or game controller on any system supporting USB HID input.
Broadcasting, Transcription, Medical Image Processing, and 3D modelling/CAD design are just a few of the industries that use X-keys to optimise their workflow and reduce operator training time. We offer more detail on each of these applications below.
Broadcasting:
From live switching to editing and colour correction, the flexibility of X-keys provides reliable, dedicated keys and controls for every aspect of production and post production. Professional and volunteer novices alike appreciate clearly marked, intuitive controls.
For live video and streaming control, X-keys offer a configurable switcher with an embedded T-bar fader and 124 programmable keys. An industry standard jog wheel and shuttle ring give sound and video editors or replay operators frame by frame editing and playback control with twelve or sixty-eight keys. X-keys precision three axis joystick provides intuitive positioning for PTZ cameras or video inserts along with twelve or sixty-eight keys to memorise camera position or trigger macros. Multiple devices may be combined or added as your system requires.
All X-keys offer dimmable backlighting in blue and red. Perfect for the low light levels in control rooms, studios and remote trucks. Small footprint, low cost models make excellent control panels for on-camera talent or volunteer operators who don’t need or want access to the entire system.
The rapid growth of live streaming now makes it possible for anyone with a desire to have their own channel put that dream within reach. The flexibility and low price point X-keys control panels makes them the perfect option for single operator home or remote production systems.
Transcription:
Any time a transcriptionist’s hands come off the keyboard, efficiency drops drastically. X-keys USB foot pedal allows them to keep fingers on the keys while activating play/pause, rewind, and fast forward controls with their feet. Design of the X-keys foot pedal originated in electro-mechanical control of dictation tapes, and works perfectly for transcriptionists in the digital age.
Medical Image Processing:
A medical technician may scan and process thousands of X-ray, MRI, and ultrasound images a day. X-keys provides a dedicated set of controls to maximise efficiency and help the technician process images accurately and reliably. X-keys dimmable backlighting keeps the keys clearly visible in low-light working environments.
3D Modelling and CAD:
Having dedicated keys for a 3D modelling and CAD tools, view options, and file library management lets the designer stay focused on the creative and technical challenges of the design process and avoid the distraction of digging through menus or memorising keyboard shortcuts. X-keys give the end user on-the-fly macro programming capability to turn a multistep operation into the single tap of a key. Minimising tedious repetition improves efficiency and improves workflow.
Summary
Whether it’s basic functions such as copy and paste, or more complex, user specific functions, X-keys turn any computer operation into a single touch on a dedicated key. Thousands of labs, studios, and offices in the UK alone use X-keys to maximise efficiency, provide intuitive workflow, and minimise operator error and training time.
