All of the basic operations can be performed using the mouse or keyboard, but for a feel that more closely approaches that of analog video editing equipment, an optional controller (DV-7DLC) is also available. The DV-7DLC is equipped with a job/shuttle dial, operation buttons, a T-bar, and sliders for audio level control, and all inputs are processed in real time so it feels just like an analog device.
