New interactive digital signage solutions from Elo Touchsystems

Ruggedized, Stylized, Large Format Touch Displays now available with APR

Elo TouchSystems, a Tyco Electronics business, broadens its line of Interactive Digital Signage (IDS) touch systems by offering both Acoustic Pulse Recognition (APR) and IntelliTouch touchscreen technologies. The new IDS portfolio – which combines Tyco Electronics' high performance touch technologies with commercial-grade, large format LCD panels – offers system integrators, value-added resellers and software developers an advanced solution for the interactive enablement of large-scale digital displays in high-traffic environments.

Interactivity that Works

The Elo TouchSystems IDS display portfolio offers the digital signage market ruggedized panels specifically built for commercial environments. The IntelliTouch touchscreens, using surface waves to recognize the touch, supports touch and hold, while the glass screen is protected inside a bezel. The 32” model is now available with IntelliTouch Plus, Elo TouchSystems surface acoustic wave technology with multi-touch capabilities. IntelliTouch Plus has obtained Windows operating system touch Additional Qualification (AQ) status for touch interactivity after passing the testing criteria established by Microsoft for its Windows 7 operating system. With this certification, customers can take advantage of the touch functionality built into the Windows 7 operating system.

The responsive Elo TouchSystems acoustic pulse recognition (APR) touchscreen technology, one of the most recent Tyco Electronics' innovations, incorporates zero-bezel, edge-to-edge glass  touchscreen and promises consistent, resilient touch functionality. Both are housed in a highly durable, aluminum chassis to ensure reliable interactivity and performance in almost any public-access location. Optional computer modules further optimize media bandwidth and interactivity for the delivery of highly engaging and measurable consumer content.

“Our new IDS portfolio offers large-format, exceptionally durable display screens specifically designed for interactive touch applications,” says Neeraj Pendse, Business Development Manager Digital Signage and Kiosks Elo TouchSystems. “Elo considers touch functionality the next wave of consumer engagement and targeted out-of-home messaging – and we believe that our IDS portfolio will significantly drive this evolution in the digital signage market by accelerating our channel partners’ adoption and competitive advantage.”

High-Grade Components

The new Elo TouchSystems IDS family features three sizes of pure-glass Digital Signage-rated displays (vs. panels designed for home environments) measuring 32- to 46-inches. The portfolio incorporates advanced panel technologies including Samsung Electronics’ LCD Digital Information Display (DID) technology to provide a scratch resilient, aluminum frame encased solution able to withstand constant interactivity in hightraffic, public-access venues. While the IntelliTouch touchscreen requires a soft stylus, Elo TouchSystems APR touchscreens recognizes touch on virtually the entire screen surface, offering full-screen interface navigation regardless of how the screen is touched (finger, prosthetics, stylus or pen) and a highly efficient display canvas for almost any commercial application.

“As today’s businesses and consumers become more and more accustomed to touch interfaces on their mobile devices it becomes clear that the integration of touch will create an entirely new class of largescale, out-of-home digital signage for retail environments,” said Scott Birnbaum, vice president, Samsung LCD Business. “Elo TouchSystems’ robust interactive IDS solution – combined with Samsung’s bright, high-contrast DID panel technology – should be a real game-changer for the digital signage industry.”

Elo TouchSystems IDS also features optional high performance computer modules ideally suited for interactive media delivery and measurement. These computer modules run either an Intel Celeron Dual Core or Core 2 Duo processor, and slide into a dedicated bay behind the touch display. The system is interoperable with content management servers and Web-based consoles for seamless connection with the Internet and applications such as multimedia sharing and electronic point-of-sale. The computer modules can support optimal partitioning of locally cached and network stored content, allowing developers to monitor and deploy content via device-to-device or Web connections. Power and monitor control functions of the new Elo TouchSystems IDS family can be locked-out to prevent tampering and speakers are built-in with audio expansion capabilities.
