Installing the Touchscreen (RS232 version)
There are two basic ways to use the touchscreen together with Teatro:
Configuration with a single monitor only
Teatro uses only the touchscreen as the main monitor. In this setup it is only possible to display the normal Teatro main screen
OR the special touchscreen operation display. It is possible to switch between these two displays with the R8 hardware button
located on the touchscreen or the „Touchscreen“ button located within Teatro‘s mainscreen.
Configuration with two monitors
Teatro displays its mainscreen on the usual PC monitor and at the same time shows the special touchscreen operation screen on
the touchscreen TFT display. This is only possible if the PC is equipped with a special double-head graphics card (for example
the Matrox G450/550). If this is the case, the usual PC monitor must be connected to output 1 and the touchscreen must be
connected to output 2 of the double-head graphics card.
Both configurations will be discussed further on the following pages.
Connections (RS232 version)
On the bottom of the touchscreen hardware you will find the following connectors:
1. Power Supply
2. VGA
3. RS-232
4. to PC‘s keyboard connector
(black cable that also has a Y-branch with
a green and a purple connector !!!)
5. from PC Keyboard
6. unused
7. unused
The bottom of the touchscreen has a
couple of holes, channels and covers
to mount all cables and lead them to
the external equipment in a proper
fashion!
