Anyone who works on audio and video post for extended periods of time knows a mouse not only offers limited control over an app, but also wears you down with its uncomfortable shape. FutureVideo helps solve that with its new multifunction controller, Media Commander MC-20Pro. The device combines the control and functions commonly used during video and audio post — PC keyboard commands, media playback, and jog/shuttle controls — into a single, ergonomically designed control surface that lets you control digital media on the PC as well as tape-based media. Meanwhile, its KeyAssigner app integrates key mapping and jog/shuttle preferences with keyboard labeling for the 180 possible “multi-modal” commands.
