Push-Buttons
Choosing a Control Method
Demonstration systems can be controlled using a touch screen, touch panels, push-buttons next to each product, or a combination of methods. Which one is best? It depends on the products you are demonstrating, and the complexity you need.
Simple Systems
If you are simply selecting one type of product like speakers, use product select buttons, or a small touch panel. If you have a large number of products to select, a touch screen control panel may be the best solution, and most cost-effective as well.
Complex Product Functions
If the user experience requires complex functions, such as play, next track, and volume controls, a touch panel or a touch screen are both great choices.
Multiple Product Types
If your system is complex, including several sources, several amplifiers, and several speaker categories, then a touch screen controller like the 903i Comparator is the right choice. You can use product select buttons, but a 903i will be a better, often more cost-effective, solution.

TouchSelect Series
Our TouchSelect series presents an elegant user interface that adapts well to any display or retail interior. Thin panels can be mounted behind a custom overlay designed for your fixture.
How it Works
Any programmable device can receive commands from a TouchSelect panel and respond as programmed. For instance, a media player can be programmed to interpret a signal from a touch position to start a video track, and the same touch can be interpreted by an audio switcher or LED controller to turn on an output. So with one touch, a customer can hear a video clip about a speaker through the speaker they just selected. The possibilities are endless.
