It will be plugged into your second monitor port. It will be as fast as LCD display may be. It will be a single best friend of any music engineer or video editor. Graphic designers should be happy as well.

Re: But...
USB for a monitor? I think they would be safer with Firewire!October 16 2006, 16:23:15 UTC 5 years ago
Re: But...
true...but i've seen usb "powered" displays and no firewire ones...
and anyway, most computers can provide more usb ports... and usb2.0 is "as fast" as firewire anyway... :)
just my 0.02 =)

Re: But...
USB 2 (480Mbps) is faster than Firewire (400Mbps)Both have plenty of bandwidth but I would still be interested - assuming that the card doesn't have to be anything special. Having full video playing over your keyboard would look awesome...

Uhh, yeah USB for sure
I wouldn't buy one then because I have dual monitor already set up. I would research making it USB instead. It will sell better.Anonymous

Re: Uhh, yeah USB for sure
Or supply a brand new card (PCI express) to handle it. I would go for that.October 16 2006, 18:06:14 UTC 5 years ago
Separate card
I would vote for a separate card, then. Otherwise, you will need to have 2 video cards in SLI to use this as well as two monitors.Anonymous

Re: Separate card
The graphics cards don't have to be in SLI. When in SLI mdoe, only one monitor is used.Anonymous

This sucks
Why do I have to buy another video card to use that keyboard. What a nuisance!Why can't it just be USB instead?! I mean, all you need is to send and receive commands. I don't understand why it needs to be connected to the video card. I simply don't get it.
I will NOT be buying it for sure.

Re: This sucks
It isn't just sending and recieving commands. I assume it is recieving separate, individual video signals for each key. Thats a lot of bandwidth to pass through a usb (even 2.0) or firewire port... How many monitors do you actually *use* through your usb 2.0 or firewire ports?Probably the best way to handle this would be a dedicated pci-e card with dvi or mini-dvi.
Remember this is a *VIDEO* keyboard. Essentially a monitor broken into separate quadrants. Can your monitor do 104 picture-in-pictures simultansouly? Also, it can't just send the signal once, it is going to have a somewhat fast refresh rate.

Re: This sucks
104? No, the *Upravalator* only has *12* "keys".Anonymous

fire wire
is faster the use 2.0 as it has less cpu over head.
