Kronos in Daylight...

Post by podmed2 »

Yesterday I had a gig in the middle of the day - outside. Weather was perfect - except the sun was so bright it was very hard to see the Kronos Screen. I turned up the LCD Brightness, and still was hard to see.

Anyone have any sort of "contraption" that works well to block light over the screen????

Thanks!

I made a sort of shield out of thin particle board that fits over the display to block out light from the front, top, and sides...send me an email address by PM and I'll send you a photo...

I was going to recommend the same but with cardboard if you're thinking of an ad-hoc solution. No pro-end items that I can think of made specifically for the Kronos or other workstation screens.

perhaps a good feature request: high contrast screen setting?

I was thinking a tinted air deflector (for a/c vent) might be perfect if you can get a custom size somewhere.
