Product Description
In today's multi - purpose workstations where desk space is limited, a fully - featured, compact, stylish, and ergonomic panel is essential. The Tangent Element range offers just that without any compromise. Despite their small desk footprint, these panels come with full - size controls that are ergonomically arranged, and there are plenty of them! Key features include an ultra - slim all - metal construction. Every programmable control has a high - contrast, high - resolution OLED display label, which also provides appropriate value/feedback. A set of all panel models has an overall footprint of 77cm x 20cm (30.3” x 7.9”). You can start with the panels you want and expand as needed. The layout is configurable to fit your handedness, desk space, and other equipment. You can add multiple panels of each model, which is great for some applications. It's USB plug - and - play (no drivers needed), USB - powered (no external power supply), and each panel uses a single USB cable. There are high - resolution, long - life trackerballs with optical laser pickups, each with a smooth - bearing third - axis “ring”. The 46mm diameter balls can be removed from the rings for cleaning. The high - resolution, long - life knobs have optical pickups and a built - in 'press to reset' switch. Technical specifications: Tk (Trackerball Panel) has 3 programmable trackerballs with a 3rd axis ring, individual reset buttons for ball and ring, 2 additional buttons, and 1 display. Mf (Multifunction Panel) features 1 programmable trackerball, standard transport controls, 2 additional buttons, 12 programmable buttons, and 2 displays. Kb (Knob Panel) comes with 12 programmable knobs, 2 additional buttons, and 1 display. Bt (Button Panel) has 12 programmable buttons, 2 additional buttons, and 1 display.
Using this Tangent Element panel bundle is easy. First, plug each panel into your computer using the single USB cable - no need to install any drivers. You can start with the panels you like and add more as your needs grow. Arrange the panels on your desk according to your handedness and available space. When using the trackerballs and knobs, you'll notice the high - resolution feedback on the OLED displays. For cleaning, you can remove the 46mm diameter trackerballs from their rings. Just remember to handle the delicate OLED displays gently. Keep the panels away from excessive moisture and heat. Since they are USB - powered, make sure your computer's USB ports are in good condition. If you plan to expand the set, check that your computer can handle multiple USB devices. This way, you can enjoy smooth video editing for a long time.
