TSC-8

Networked Touch Screen Controller

TSC-8 requires Q-Sys Designer software version 2.1 (to be released at the end of July)

Features

• Capacitive touch technology eliminates physical knobs and buttons increasing product reliability
• 8", 800 x 600 LCD with anti-glare safety glass
• Connects with dual RJ45 10/100/1000 Mbps connections for network redundancy
• Hosts custom user-designed control interfaces created in Q-Sys Designer with ability to adjust nearly every system parameter
• Capable of displaying custom bitmapped graphic images
• Q-Sys technical support is available 24/7 - worldwide

The TSC-8 combines capacitive touch technology with a bright 400 nits, 800 x 600 full color LCD for state-of-the-art control of a Q-Sys system. Touchscreen control is the ideal user-interface for sophisticated systems in which control needs can range from a few simple parameters to recall of global snapshots. The TSC-8 can be used to control much more than just audio; a wide variety of equipment can be managed utilizing the Q-Sys Core's GPIO and TCP/IP instruction mechanisms providing true one-touch control of complete systems.

When multiple TSC-8 controllers control a single system, changes made from one unit will be reflected on the displays of others. Creation of the custom user screens is accomplished within the Q-Sys environment using the User Control Interface (UCI) Designer which allows selection of any Q-Sys element to be "pulled" into the interface and adjusted for size and color. For applications in which room diagrams, corporate logos or other graphical elements are desired, the TSC-8 can support full-color bit-mapped images.

The TSC-8 is offered in black (TSC-8-BK) or white (TSC-8-WH) and designed for easy flush-mount installation in a wall, lectern or similar flat surface. The back box (TSC-8-BX) provides a convenient location for housing the power and network connections. The TSC-8 provides two network interfaces for connection to the Q-Sys system. These dual ports allow the controller to be connected to two separate networks enabling redundant operation modes for mission critical applications.
