Touch Panels and Keypads

Touch panels

The Kaleidescape module uses the full screen on a touch panel and incorporates a

large video window to provide complete consistency even when a separate video

display is unavailable. Only the buttons required for a particular feature are

displayed. For example, the keyboard is displayed only when alphanumeric input is

required. After text entry is complete, the keyboard vanishes. Pop-up windows are

used sparingly to simplify the user experience and to manage secondary and

tertiary controls. The upper right corner of the layout is intentionally left open so a

programmer can add buttons to tie into other whole-house sources and controls.

Touch panel variations

Kaleidescape offers three types of touch panel controls.

 OSD control WITH a video window

 OSD control WITHOUT a video window

 Standalone touch panel (SATP)

OSD with a video window provides the richest user experience and is the

Kaleidescape preferred implementation. When choosing which variation to use for

a particular installation, consider whether or not a video display is present, what

the technical capabilities of the touch panel are, and whether a movie or music

zone is to be controlled. Most installations need to implement several touch panel

variations to provide quality control in every zone.

Touch panel variations are packaged separately and available as downloadable TP4

and TPD files. Each file is constructed as a single page with sub-pages to manage

secondary and tertiary controls within each variation. The appropriate Kaleidescape

module must also be downloaded.

The touch panel variations in Figures 1 through 3 are screenshots taken from the

1024 × 768 pixel template for a 15-inch touch panel. Refer to Appendix A: Screen

Shots for UI Layouts on page 52 for more sample screen shots of all three

variations.

OSD control with a video window

The OSD Video template displays the Kaleidescape System OSD on the touch panel

simplifying user operation. Kaleidescape strongly recommends that installers use

this interface configuration to deliver a superior user experience for both movies

and music.

This solution has the following requirements:

 A touch panel that supports a video window

 A Kaleidescape movie zone to provide video output to the panel
