Fw: Re: Grand Designs tonight touchscreens.....

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Surely nothing a USb over CAT5 extender at about =A335 wouldnt sort out=20
surely ?

Even the VGA would have to be extended with a CAT5 KVM (KAT5 might be=20
overkill for this!). Mebe there's a CAT5 KVM that supports USB mice ?

With the limitations of USB length you might find that all your screens
are too close together Gareth ;-)

Ok, so why wouldnt I just have the same screen throughout the house ? So

mebe 2 or more units with the same web/mainlobby/etc interface.

It uses VGA for the screen, so we could just split the VGA to deliver to

all touchscreens.
And the touchscreen is via a USB interface. When using a mouse via USB,=20
you could have more than one mouse, and either work (mebe not at EXACTLY

the same time). SO mebe plugging in multiple touchscreen via USB would
be=20
ok. Can't see me using more than one touchscreen at the exact same time=20
(when they compliment the CBUS switches anyway).

So that's one mini-pc to drive multiple screens and the touchscreen=20
portion.

Workable ?
