B&H has a demo of this on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaIx0KMOg5I
This is the only video they need to market it. The Monty Python vibe at the beginning is hilarious, and the walkthrough delightful.

#112Shouldn't the Latin be "instrumentum electronicum"?
"instrumentalis" and "electronicum" are both adjectives.
(But it's 25 years since I had to read Latin at school.)
