Extron Introduces 10", High Resolution TouchLink™ Touchpanels

Anaheim, California (November 22, 2010) - Extron is pleased to introduce two larger, high resolution TouchLink Touchpanels. The TLP 1000MV and TLP 1000TV are fully configurable 10" touchpanels featuring a sleek, contemporary look and thin bezels to complement any decor. The larger, 1024 x 600 resolution touchscreen surface provides ample room for sophisticated controls and graphics. The new touchpanels incorporate an MTP – Twisted Pair receiver, which accepts either S-video or composite video input over standard CAT 5 type cable, enhancing connectivity and streamlining cable management. Power over Ethernet – PoE, allows the touchpanels to receive power via the Ethernet connector, eliminating the need for a local power supply. The TLP 1000MV mounts on a wall, lectern, or other flat surface, while the TLP 1000TV sits on a tabletop or on a VESA standard mount with an optional adapter. Both are ideal for control environments where a larger control surface within an elegant touchpanel design is needed.

"The new TouchLink Touchpanels answer our customers’ requests for bigger, configurable touchpanels with flexible mounting options," says Casey Hall, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Extron. "Their larger size and higher resolutions accommodate the advanced controls needed for sophisticated applications."

GUI Configurator software makes configuration of the touchpanel easy, with no graphic design skills required. This software offers ready-to-use templates for single display rooms, dual display rooms, divisible rooms, multi-image systems and video conference suites. These designs may be used as is, or customized for the application by simply changing individual graphic elements.

The TLP 1000MV and TLP 1000TV work in conjunction with any Extron IP Link® Control Processor, such as the Extron IPL 500 Control Processor. They are designed for use in AV system applications that require complete, interactive control of conferencing systems, displays, switchers and source devices. The touchpanels and IP Link Control Processors communicate using a standard Ethernet network, allowing utilization of existing infrastructure.
