Overview

Welcome to the Paradigm

Touchscreen Interface Setup and Connect Guide. The Paradigm

Touchscreen Interface (P-TSI) is supplied with a universal 12VDC, 5A power supply and IEC power

cable (operates at 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz), and padded feet for table top use.

A 19” rack mounting kit is available, sold separately (ETC part number 4260K1001), for use as needed.

Contact ETC Customer Service for ordering details. ETC contact information is located at the bottom of

this page.

This guide provides instructions related to the initial setup and connection of the Touchscreen Interface

P-TSI including details to install and setup the Virtual Touchscreen Software. Instructions for use of the

Paradigm Virtual Touchscreen (P-VTS) software are available on the ETC website at

www.etcconnect.com/downloads.aspx

Features

• Supports Windows

7 HID-compliant (Plug-n-Play) Touchscreen Monitor, using native resolutions

up to 1920x1080p (provided by others).

• Supports external monitor touchscreen interface functionality.

• Supports Paradigm Virtual Touchscreen (P-VTS) software.

• Multiple USB ports for connection of touchscreen or a monitor and keyboard when used with a

conventional monitor.

• Supports Ethernet port connectivity to the Paradigm network and ETC Net3 lighting network.

Compatibility

Some features and functions are not supported with Acoustic Pulse Recognition (APR) Touchscreens.

Specifically, touch-and-hold operations are unsupported by this technology which prevents access to

context menus (similar to a mouse right-click). Care should be taken when designing configurations to

include button access to timed event and setup features.

Note:

Some connections available on the I/O panel are not used.
