Definitions for "Jog/Shuttle"
Keywords:  shuttle, rewind, vcr, slowest, dvd
Typically a combination of a dial and a ring on a VCR, LD or DVD player. The free rotating jog dial allows you to advance or reverse frame-by-frame through a movie, while the shuttle ring steps through various play and reverse play speeds. Some shuttle rings rotate 360 degrees and speed up or down once for each "click" in a direction, while other shuttle rings have more limited movement with specific speeds at certain positions. Due to these different designs no universal remote as of yet has featured a jog/shuttle. See also: transport, hard buttons.
Twin-ring control found on top-quality video recorders - used for finding a particular frame on a tape quickly. The shuttle (outer) ring will fast forward or rewind the tape at varying speeds, depending on how far the ring is turned (and in which direction). The central jog ring is for fine adjustment allowing you to go through the tape a frame at a time. An essential facility when editing.
VCRs and DVD players with this feature allow for customized fast forward, rewind and slow-motion speeds. Usually operated by a round dial on the remote or front panel of the machine itself.
