For example, if <YC1> (S-video input 1) is set to 0, then when the pad area
associated with YC1 is touched, serial string 5 outputs a serial string in the Crestron
Mouse Driver format. This serial string is generally routed to one of the C2N-
DVP4DI built-in COM ports for control over a PC or telestrator.

Mouse Awareness ("Touch the PC")

A mouse or a touchpanel connected to a C2N-DVP4DI can also be used to control
the mouse functions of a PC. The "Touch the PC" feature allows a user to remotely
control a number of other PC's cursors and mouse buttons.
Any window on the C2N-DVP4DI may be made "mouse-aware" by assigning the
pad area, just as we already do on existing TPS panels, and enabling the Touch/Pad
Area check box in Video Properties | Design of VT Pro-e. In SIMPL Windows, a
serial signal must be assigned to the C2I-TPS Touchpanel Interface symbol (slot 1 of
the C2N-DVP4DI SIMPL Windows symbol) for each PC, and the same signal needs
to be assigned to a serial driver symbol for each PC. For more information, refer to
the latest revision of the Serial Mouse Control Driver Software Programmer's Guide,
Doc. 5916 in the Downloads | Product Manuals section of the Crestron website
(www.crestron.com).
Defining the mouse parameters on the C2N-DVP4DI is different because you use
more than one window, and the mouse packets are sent to a PC (or any device with a
video or RGB output and a touch/mouse input) that is associated with the source
shown in the window. You cannot define the mouse on a single window as on the
TPS touchpanels.
When the window is touched, the mouse command packets generated by the C2N-
DVP4DI are sent out of one of the first 24 serial join outputs of the C2N-DVP4DI
embedded TPS symbol, depending on which of the 24 sources is currently shown in
the window (there is already a reserved join number for the window, to tell which
source to route there). There are up to 24 possible RGB/video sources on the C2N-
DVP4DI, although they are not all available at the same time. The sources are as
follows:
