When selecting the touch screen for an installation, consider whether a video
display is present and the technical capabilities of the touch panel.
Installations can require more than one type of touch panel interface to
provide the best control for every zone.

Keypad Control for Music
In-wall keypads are convenient for music zones that have no video display and
no touch panel. There are two types of keypad control.
Keypad presets
With keypad presets, a keypad can be programmed to play a music
selection. Presets can be set to behave like car radio buttons. Press and
hold to store, then press to recall.
Music collections
With music collections, a keypad can be programmed so users can cycle
through music selections within a music collection. This interface enables
cycling through any collection by using the
NEXT
and
PREVIOUS
buttons.
An installer can program a keypad to control music on a Kaleidescape Cinema
One as long as the keypad can send a programmer-defined string over TCP/IP.
Kaleidescape also provides keypad control modules for several manufacturers
that can be downloaded from the Kaleidescape website.
Note:
The keypad must be able to send a programmer-defined string. Presets cannot
be triggered via IR.
