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 Prometheus. 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 Prometheus. For that you can use a serial (RS232) cable up to
10 meter or an Ethernet cable up to 50 meter to allow a direct data communication between the Prometheus and the Communicator
Touch Panel.
The touch panel interface can also be connected with a Local Area Network (LAN) just like the Prometheus. In this case both devices
can communicate with each other as well.
The touch panel interface requires a +12 VDC voltage, 1,5 ampere. The use of a separate +12 VDC adaptor (1,5 ampere minimum)
is required.
