Touch Screen Operation
A connected touch screen running .AV Framework software can be used to control presentations. Use the touch screen to control volume, switch between sources, and start and stop presentations. The home screen is displayed when the system starts.
Add a Touch Screen
The receivers support the use of a TS- or TSW‑70 series 7 in. or 10 in. touch screen for system control. Adding a touch screen to the system requires an entry in the touch screen’s IP table and loading a touch screen project file to the touch screen.
NOTE: The touch screen must be accessible to the receiver over the network.
IP Table Entry
An IP table entry must be created to direct the touch screen to the IP address or host name of the receiver. For instructions on creating an IP table entry, refer to the touch screen's product manual:
- TSW-570, TSW-770, and TSW-1070 Product Manual (Doc. 8550)
- TS-770 and TS-1070 Product Manual (Doc. 8555)
Load a Touch Screen Project File
If internet connectivity is available on the receiver, the system automatically loads the touch screen project file once the IP table entry is complete. To automatically load the touch screen project file, touch screen auto update must be enabled as described in Connected Devices.
To download the touch screen project file, refer to the Resources section of the receiver's product page. Under Software & Firmware , select .AV Framework.
