Configure Dual Touch Output on SimplicityTouch Gen3 IFP.
Typical setup for situations where two devices are connected at all times:
In a typical setup there will be a primary device connected to Touch Out #1. This is often the primary presenter’s PC. This device
is usually connected to HDMI 1 (but it could be connected to any input). The instructions that follow and the diagrams will as-
sume that Device #1 is connected to HDMI 1 and Touch Out #1.
Often there is a second device. This may be an alternate PC for presenting, or it may be a wireless collaboration and presenta-
tion device. This device is typically connected to input HDMI 2 and to Touch Out #2. The instructions that follow and the dia-
grams will assume that Device #2 is connected to HDMI 2 and Touch out #2.
If two devices are connected at all time (one to Touch #1 and one to Touch#2) then the panel settings need to be configured to
support this. The following instructions will walk you through configuring the settings to allow the user to simply switch inputs
(i.e. from HDMI 1 to HDMI2) and the USB touch will be auto-switched so that that the user can control both devices by touch
without having to move or touch any cables.
NOTE: The default operation of the dual touch output is as follows. Touch Out#1 is disabled when Touch Out#2 is connected.
The typical scenario where this is desired is where the panel is in use in a room and the typical presenter’s PC is connected more
or less at all times to TouchOut #1 (and any video input). Then from time to time another presenter will enter the room, connect
to another video input and to TouchOut #2. When the panel detects that there is a device connected to TouchOut#2 then it
gives that device priority assuming that the only time a device is connected to TouchOut#2 is when there is a special presenter
making a presentation with their own laptop PC. When the special presenter leaves and disconnects their laptop PC from
TouchOut#2 then the panel will revert back to giving TouchOut#1 priority. In this way the primary presenter’s PC can remain
connected at all times and no cables need to be unplugged/plugged from their device. Only the special presenter will
plug/unplug connections as needed to connect to the IFP.
