Since 2008, my work has encompassed commercials<\/strong>, music videos<\/strong>, and short<\/strong> and feature films<\/strong>. Given the frequent travel required for my projects, a portable editing setup is essential. Currently, I’m involved in the production of two music videos and a short film scheduled to premiere in early 2022. The ability to edit remotely, at any time and in any location, is a critical requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, I relied solely on my Macbook Pro. However, a single screen proved insufficient for efficient work, particularly within applications like Adobe Premier<\/strong>. Therefore, I was eager to evaluate the ZenScreen Touch MB16AMT<\/strong> from Asus<\/strong> when the opportunity arose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The package arrived, and its substantial size and weight initially led me to believe that the screen would be cumbersome to transport. This assumption proved incorrect. Despite its generous 15.6-inch display, the ZenScreen Touch MB16AMT<\/em> from Asus<\/em> is remarkably thin (9mm) and lightweight (900g), making it surprisingly portable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unit features a USB-C<\/strong> and a micro-HDMI<\/strong> input. My 2015 Macbook Pro<\/strong> lacks USB-C, necessitating the use of the included adapter. Upon initial connection via the adapter, no image appeared. After navigating the screen’s menu to select USB-C input, the issue persisted. Fortunately, I had an alternative HDMI cable and a micro-HDMI adapter available. This configuration successfully transmitted both video and<\/em> audio, the latter thanks to the screen’s integrated stereo speakers, which offer reasonable sound quality for their size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then proceeded to test the touch functionality, which initially failed to respond to either the included stylus or direct finger input. Connecting the USB-C cable in conjunction with the adapter resolved this issue, enabling the ten-point touch capability. This allows for intuitive interaction with the screen, including familiar gestures such as pinch-to-zoom and scrolling. The stylus and the screen’s size and clarity proved immediately useful, as demonstrated in the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
