Re: Images etc Mark 4

2008-09-08 by Joan Heitzeberg (Conahan)

Someone asked about the transfer and use of the 'Pictures' folder that
is available in the system of the Mark IV Disklavier.  I was just
answering that question.  

I believe the original intent and future capabilities of the
disklavier Mark IV which hooks to a TV monitor will be for the option
of hooking up with satellite TV and viewing musicians in concert
playing on the TV monitor while the midi is streamed to your piano ...
thus a virtual experience of seeing possibly and hearing on your own
piano the performance of someone such as Elton John.

As far a multimedia presentations, on my Mac I am able to develop
those myself without the need of a professional to do it for me.   As
far as the capability of viewing pictures on the tablet in slideshow
format ... I don't see anything wrong with that, very similar to the
same device people by to display their photos in a digital manner. 
What is wrong with another option or use for the tablet?  If the
capability is there why not offer it to those that might want it?

was that listening to a real piano is superior to listening to a
recording. If you want a multimedia presentation, why not get a DVD
video by a professional. It will be much better than any slide show
you can put together with such primitive tools.
