MTLC-16 Features

What Are the Options?

There are several options to optimize your teaching lab. You may use standard recording technologies like cassette and CD-players, or add a hard-disk recorder for even more advanced functions.

However, while the Monitor section below lists options, please consider the visual monitors carefully—since students will be following these visual displays very closely in each class. Whether you select an S-video TV monitor, sleek LCD panels, a large gas plasma display, or an “In Focus” projector, size and image quality are extremely important—you may want to splurge a bit. Also listed as an option, the USB-to-MIDI interface, is another must-have. This connector uti- lizes the graphic displays in the “Rehearsal Window,” as well as enabling in-class recording. The USB has rapidly become the standard interface; it is both inexpensive and easily installed.
