Communicator Touch Panel
Communicator Touch Panel for digital cinema projectors
The Communicator Touch Panel is designed for multi-user command and control. The Communicator enables users to learn quickly
and operate ef
fi
ciently - using an elegant and
fl
exible Touch Panel interface. The interface’s commonality means that operators
can intuitively use any model in the product line, without restriction, and its user-friendly nature translates directly into a short and
enjoyable learning curve.

Flexible Touch Panel interface
The Touch Panel interface can be mounted upon a swivel arm which easily
fi
ts on top of the Athena. One central locking mechanism
of the swivel arm allows instant
fi
xation of the Touch Panel interface in any position.
The Touch Panel interface can also be installed further away from the Athena. For this purpose an Ethernet cable up to 50 meter
can be used to realize a direct data communication between the Athena and the Communicator Touch Panel.
The Touch Panel interface can also be connected via a Local Area Network (LAN) in the same way as the Athena. In this con
fi
gu-
ration both devices can communicate with each other as well.
The Touch Panel interface requires a voltage 12 VDC and 1,5 ampere. Note that the Athena has a 12 VDC output which
can be used to power up the Touch Panel interface. Nevertheless, the use of a se12 VDC adaptor (1,5 ampere minimum)
is required in case the Touch Panel interface is installed more then a few meters away from the Athena.
