Hi there , I am wondering if the raven MTi can be used as a monitor for the computer as well as soon a controller for pro tools.
I am buying a new mac pro trashcan very soon specifically for pro tools 11 use ...., and I dont want to buy a monitor unless its absolutely necessary ( if I do buy a monitor id like to wait until an updated version of the apple thunderbolt2 monitor was released)
..., can I use the raven as a monitor ?

Yes!
But check the resolutions for both - there's a huge difference:
Apple Thunderbolt display: 2560 x 1440
Raven MTi: 1920 x 1080
I use Apple 27" thunderbolt in addition to MTi, the monitor on the Mac Book Pro and a monitor in the studio for dubbing. Works fine.
If the money is an issue: Go for the MTi

Hi Seafoam,
Hez hit the nail on the head! No need for a monitor when you have the RAVEN. More room for gear!

Thats great news , Thanks Fez , and thanks Trevor  ..., Yes money was a really big issue here ..., so yes the Raven will double up as a display monitor for me, as well as being an awesome controller - stoked  also , would I be right to assume that the Raven screen is also " anti glare " ? ...., if so that would be another Bonus ...., as I like bright rooms and dont really want to have to darken the room and spend my days living like Dracula just to see the monitor. |

Hi Seafoam,
The RAVEN screen is not Anti-Glare. We do offer anti glare screen protectors that can be purchased for $50+ shipping. Feel free to email me if you would like to purchase one.

Kind Regards, — Trevor Fedele Executive Assistant / Technical Assistant Slate Media Technology // Slate Digital LLC trevor@stevenslate.com Hi Trevor , Thanks for your reply , I just ordered my Slate Raven MTi from ChandraCom , and it will be getting shipped to Indonesia (Bali) ..., and will be quite a few weeks until I receive it, ..., So I will contact my dealer and get them to also order me ; the anti glare screen protector , So they can both be shipped together . My question is ; How does this anti Glare screen protector affect the touch screen sensitivity and its slick feel ? ...., and what is it exactly , is it like a stick on plastic sheet ? |

Hi Seafoam,
The Screen protector will come from us here in Los Angeles It does not affect the sensitivity. It has a texture similar to a matte touch screen protector, and yes it is a stick on plastic sheet. Please contact me directly at trevor@stevenslate.com and I will direct your email to set up the order.
Kind Regards,

Hi Guys,
I have a quite unusual question. I am using Logic Pro X for music production and really want to get rid off the trackpad, mouse and keyboard and I think slate offers the right alternative. I already watched some videos on the slate raven MTi 2 and money is an issue for me as well. So now I do know that you can use the slate as an external or secondary monitor in connection with PC/Mac but i'm struggling with the decision of buying a TV screen for my playstation DVD Player and other free time stuff.
So if i have the slate raven can I use it in a standalone mode only as a Screen without a PC/Mac connection and instead run it with a PS3 or DVD Player like a normal TV would do? If that'll work it would save me a lot of money and would speed up my purchase decision a lot.
Best,
LuiV

Best, Lui You can just plug the HDMI of the Raven directly into the PS3 and it will work as a regular 27" LED display. |
