Touchscreen

The touchscreen provides a user-friendly interface to work with diverse systems. It displays all sources and monitors. Available sources are indicated in green, occupied sources in red and “view only” sources in white.Sources are easily selected and assigned to monitors and video walls. Toggling between sources is simple using tabs.

The functionality of the touchscreen can be extended with individual applications. Almost anything is possible, from video integration, event visualization and telephony to enterprise-specific applications.

 

Picture-in-picture

Up to two movable and scalable windows from any two IP Remote stream sources (video streams or other applications) can be activated, displayed and operated on the touchscreen.

 

Cus­tomized keys and key­pads

Workflows can be optimized with different keypads. The most important commands and key combinations can be assigned to physical keys. In addition to standard keypads from Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters, customized keypads with made-to-order keys (size, position, color and labeling) are also available.

A quick ejection mechanism releases the keyboard inlay from the housing unit so that users who share desks can still work on their own personal keyboards. Hygienic working conditions are thus guaranteed. The keyboard inlay is available for different countries and languages.

Loudspeakers, motion and light sensors

The smartTOUCH has built-in high-quality stereo speakers. This eliminates the need for external speakers at the desk. Additionally, a microphone, headphones or a USB headset can be connected to the keyboard.

Built-in light sensors automatically adjust the brightness of the screen and motion sensors detect the presence of the user. If a user is not at his or her workplace, the keyboard is automatically set to idle mode; when s/he returns, it automatically switches back to standby mode.

Interfaces

The keyboard supports a multitude of interfaces (USB, serial, Ethernet with PoE+, etc.) as well as all platforms in trading floor environments.
