1. Introduction
1.1. Overview.........................................................................................
The mini touch panel is a stand-alone device with 6” color LCD flat screen, which displays control
buttons with a description. The requested function is selected using a finger touch of a button on the

All mini touch panel models are full compatible with Cue control units. All AV equipment, entire
environment including lights, projection screens, window blinds, air-conditioning etc. can be controlled
by just a touch of a finger. Each individual screen button is associated with sequences stored in a
control unit.
User application screen layouts containing buttons, bargraphs, logos, drawings etc. are prepared on
PC and downloaded into the touch panel. The user application can be developed using Cue Design
Director.
