System Overview
Keyboard and Mouse
Avid replaces the standard IBM keyboard with a customized
keyboard featuring labeled keycaps for the Windows 2000 products.
The three-button IBM mouse is the standard. Avid might or might not
replace the standard mouse with a Microsoft
®
mouse for certain
products, but whatever mouse is used, it must have a PS/2-style male
connector to plug into the system.
Monitors
Avid systems support the following three monitors:
• The 21-inch Bin monitor displays the Windows 2000 operating
system desktop.
• The 21-inch Edit monitor displays the Avid software editing
environment.
• The third monitor (Client monitor) displays full-screen video
playback and can be either an NTSC monitor or a PAL monitor.
This monitor is optional.
n
Only one monitor is standard with the Avid Xpress system. The remaining
two monitors can be purchased as options.
Avid systems also support monitors of other sizes. You can use most
17-inch multisync monitors in place of the 21-inch monitors, but both
the Bin and Edit monitors must be the same size and model.
