New Backlit keyboard

[GrassValley_PS]

Will they provide a full keyboard one time?

What do you consider a "full" keyboard? If you mean the keypad on the side, the prototype had that. Function keys also work normally.

Yes, the keypad is very important.
The older layout had an FN key to have all the common keys.
I would prefer all of them physically.

If you look carefully they are missing the '\' key to the left of the 'Z' key and trying to use the one next to the Enter key is painful as you have to remember the right combination of keys to use all 4 items they've assigned to it

Not sure how it is in the UK, but that is the way most keyboards are here in the US. The \ key is usually above the Enter key. The prototype I have matches the keys on a full keyboard here in the US. Although the fn key and the windows key are reversed. I am not sure the fn key does anything as pushing it, acts the same as the Windows key.

One of the things I am happy about, is they reversed the arrows on the N and M key from most keyboards. I always thought the typical Avid type keyboards always had them backwards.

This is the UK keyboard layout, not sure if this adopted throughout Europe?

But on the Editors keyboards they have \|#~ all on the same key instead of 2 separate ones, they don't use a standard keyboard layout, if they did it would just be a case of printing the right things on the keys for different layouts

I am not sure what keyboard you are talking about, but it is not the prototype that is being discussed here. Those symbols are on 3 different keys just as a normal keyboard. Please take a look at the pic I provided at the beginning.

Sorry, I hadn't noticed that they'd changed it on the new back-lit keyboard.

can you read any EDIUS interface text on these 4k panels without a magnifying glass?

It's bad enough on a 30" 2560x1600 monitor.

Not sure, havent tried it yet. Just got the monitors up yesterday. I hope its not too small. i was using samsung business s24a850dw and i wasnt a fan of those. black levels are very poor on the samsung.

Gonna do an ISF calibration using an Eyeone pro color meter. being a 10bit panel im hoping it calibrates nicely. not sure if the asus offers quality controls for grey scale balance , etc..

heres some pics

worked with Edius dashboard on the 4k panels. the res isnt too small for me. I love the extra space. its mind blowing how much bigger the bin , timeline and other windows are now. i will throw up picks soon. Gonna make a sweet 4k Edius wallpaper.

i didnt both using the eyeone pro on it cause the calibration controls on the panel are horrible. i like using a remote, its easier for me. so i trusted the review and settings from a site that did a review and measurements aswell.

Overclocked the 4930k to 4.2 , ddr3 1600 , stable , cine4d benchmark is 1118

a hundred points shy of the 12core xeon.

atto was 1.9mbs

will throw up picks soon
