The 32" MotionCOMMAND Gen2 Multi-Touchscreen Monitor (OS X) from Music Computing brings the power and intuitiveness of a touchscreen to your home computer. The monitor supports multi-touch gestures for improved control. The installation process is simple; the touch-sensitive layer is built into the monitor, so the process of mapping software controls to hardware controllers is eliminated. All you need to do is plug in the monitor, attach it to the computer and install the provided software.
Multi-Touch
Multi-Touchscreens are simply touchscreens that you can touch with more than one finger. However, that's where the similarities stop. Since it's more natural for human beings to use their hands than a mouse, the ability to work in our natural state means more efficiency, better control over software interfaces and the elimination of having to map software controls to hardware controllers. With multi-touchscreens, what you see is what you get to control
The MotionCOMMAND line of multi-touchscreen products are currently being used by universities such as UCLA, institutions such as the Museum of the New South, and corporations such as National Instruments in addition to music studios worldwide
Windows & Mac OS X Compatible
MotionCOMMAND models (32" and larger) are compatible with Windows Vista, XP and 7 in addition to Mac OS X (10.6 and 10.7), making them extremely versatile. Native to Microsoft's Windows 7 OS (operating system) are basic multi-touch commands that MotionCOMMAND will automatically work with. Additional multi-touch functionality is provided by each software application running within the OS. These can vary from application to application and from a single touch to many. Single touch capabilities are available with other Windows versions
How The Touchscreen Is Made
All touchscreens are comprised of a LCD / LED with a touch sensitive overlay on top. Some models have a custom bezel or case that covers both parts so they look like a single unit, but internally they always have a video display and a touch surface. Because of this, functionally there is no difference between an all-in-one unit and something like our MotionCOMMAND FRAME attached to a LCD / LED. In most cases, it is better to have the two separate pieces because if one fails or gets damaged, you can just replace the defective part
LCD/LED TVs Instead Of Industrial Video Monitors
In many instances industrial video monitors are proprietary, meaning only one factory makes them. If anything goes wrong, replacement parts can only be sourced through them and are often times very expensive. By using name-brand LCD / LED televisions, we are able to assure our users the ability to replace or even upgrade their video monitors if necessary. Finally, LCD / LED TVs provide better styling and more robust features than most industrial monitors, making them more versatile
