Disklavier

Hey guys,

Thanks for all your replys, that answered the question. I am in Australia, and we don't have the tablet interface for the Mark 4 ;-) no .jpg for me!

Ah yes Kevin, thats a good point, perhaps I can chuck a video card into the computer in a few years when it's all old hat and out of warranty and Yamaha release the Mark 5. lol.

I agree with you Spencers List, to often people like to just chuck music in somewhere to fill the gap in the room! But I did enjoy a few (except the kids learn to play crap) of those Demo Piano Soft with graphics files, just a nice slide show made things interesting, and I was hoping for just a 'touch' of customisation... I have a wall mounted large screen and it would be cool to have a .jpg assigned to a song, even a shot of the artist (or myself haha no, just kidding).

The other thing that inspired me was the screen is directly behind the piano, it would be good to have scanned in sheet music nice and large to read off or (hence the output quality isssue I raised) have an inbedded light weight TFT where you would normall sit the music...to use as an electronic sheet music display, turn the page with the left pedal etc! I have seen a modded music stand with this... (but bigger and better than the tablets that I can't have).

Cheers,

Philip

Hey guys,

This might be a crappy question(s), but I finally connected the TV to the piano.. I don't know why they (Yamaha) did not have Proper RGB out or S-VIDEO but instead a yukky old Composite video out... anyway my question is.. 

Does anyone know how to make the piano look at the 'MyPicture' share that has sample pics in it etc.. it must be there for a reason..? I chucked a few random .jpg's there but in the SYSTEM under 'video out' it only has the built-in samples ie nature, flowers,vacation, world etc etc.. And in the 'From/To PC' it does not care about .jpg files.

Also another question, why can't I assign a pic to a song.. surley that's the whole point? or do they have to be 'special yamaha soft graphics blah format..' ?

Any ideas!??

Cheers,

Philip
