MediaShout includes a feature called Remote Control mode, giving presenters a way to advance presentations from a remote control. The MediaShout operator can then toggle between Remote Control mode and Normal mode to regain control of the presentation. MediaShout also includes a number of remote control settings depending on your particular model. (NOTE: Version 4.5 installations prior to b239 include the same feature, but labeled 'Slide Show' Mode.)

Using 'Remote Control' Mode

  • To switch to Remote Control mode, use the Playback Mode drop-down to select Remote Control.
  • To switch back to Normal mode, press the Esc key.

Remote Control Settings

By default, Remote Control mode interprets left-mouse-clicks as Play Next Cue commands, and right-mouse-clicks as Play Previous Cue commands.

To change the keystrokes MediaShout interprets from your remote control:

  1. Open the Tools menu and select Settings > Script Pane.
  2. Use the Remote Control drop-down in the lower-right corner of this menu to change your settings. Available keystrokes are as follows:
    • PageDn & PageUp
    • DnArrow & UpArrow
    • 'N' & 'B'
    • RightArrow & LeftArrow
