Thats classified info only available if you buy the Slate “everything" Bundle.
You see, “everything” means EVERYTHING...
In case you don't know, tin cans and strings are a part of “everything” there is, and Slate sells it.

Jeepers. I do own two of the 'everything' licenses. I guess they left the strings and can out of my box.

if you are talking about a macpro trash can use the hdmi out to a SDI converter and amp the signal. HDMI is 25 feet at best but HDMI cables are expensive... Use a usb extender cable with a signal amp... both cables solutions are about $50

I have an older tower Mac Pro, but my third party video card has both a DVI and an HDMI out on it. (Currently only using DVI). I have a bunch of USB amps thank aren't being used. But have never heard of SDI converter. What brand do you use Waxman?

Thanks for your help! I am sorta excited to see how the raven helps my workflow.

So far everything is working. Screen isn't reacting as smooth as I would like. Probably need to re-vitalize.

On the V-Control Pro thing, it is obviously working. Do we still need to purchase it from Neyrinck? Or is that included with the Slate purchase.

Need some help Waxman and TooDamn and all you Raven veterans. Are your DP track names in TO window and Markers window sharp. Mine aint. They are jagged and a bit smeary.

They are sharp

Hmmm... Can you read PDFs just as easily as on your mac screen? Are you coming off Mac directly or thru HDMI amplifier?

I'm confused... In the DP window on a second monitor or the Raven?

On the Raven screen. Reading a PDF is pretty hard on eyes. And the DP track names and marker window text is jagged too. Is it because the pixel size is larger, or because we are sitting right on top of it? Or is your text all peachy nice?

(All is just fine with text on the other monitors)

my text is sharp... do you have display set to Raven default? Check with JameyZ on Slate forum.

Jamey and I have been working on it. Hoping for solution soon. MY elderly eyes can't handle it.

Need some help with Raven mixer.

How do I show only certain tracks in the Raven mixer. In DP we have mixer layouts and now in DP 9 we have track Layouts too, which show or hide desired trks. I have 450+ trks in my orch template and am always switching to see only the strgs, or precussion etc. How do I make the Raven mixer mirror what is seen in DP?
