14.1 Introduction

Communicator Touch Panel for digital cinema projectors
The Communicator Touch Panel is designed for multi-user command and control, the Communicator enables users to learn quickly
and operate efficiently - using an elegant and flexible touch panel interface. The interface's commonality means that operators
can intuitively use any model in the product line, without restriction, and its user-friendly nature translates directly into a short and
enjoyable learning curve.

Flexible touch panel interface
The touch panel interface can be mounted upon a swivel arm which easily fits on top of the DP2K-12C/11CX projector. One central
locking mechanism of the swivel arm allows an instant fixation of the touch panel interface in any position.
The touch panel interface can also be installed further away from the DP2K-12C/11CX projector. For that you can use a serial
(RS232) cable up to 10 meter or an Ethernet cable up to 50 meter to realize a direct data communication between the DP2K-
12C/11CX projector and the Communicator Touch Panel.
The touch panel interface can also be connected with a Local Area Network (LAN) just like the DP2K-12C/11CX projector. In this
case both devices can communicate with each other as well.
The touch panel interface requires a voltage supply +12 VDC and 1,5 ampere. Note that the DP2K-12C/11CX projector has a 12
VDC output which can be used to power up the touch panel interface. Nevertheless, the use of a separate +12 VDC adaptor (1,5
ampere minimum) is required in case the touch panel interface is installed more then a few meters away from the DP2K-12C/11CX
projector.
A crossed DC cable has to be used when connecting the +12 VDC output from the Input & Communication
unit of the DP2K-12C/11CX projector directly with the Touch Panel interface.
