Simple and flexible

The graphical user interface used in the TouchMonitor range is con-
trolled simply by using your finger or a mouse. Instruments can be 
scaled, randomly positioned and combined in almost every way for 
optimized use of available screen space. Even multiple instruments of 
the same type, assigned to different input channels and configurations, 
can be displayed simultaneously. A context-sensitive, on-screen help 
feature and the intuitive operatable menu system supports the user, 
allowing him to make setup changes with ease. 

audio i/o options

The TouchMonitor perfectly integrates into today‘s analog and digital 
audio and video studio environments. It handles input signals of vari-
ous formats: analog, AES3, and AES3id. In addition, the TouchMonitor 
TM9 has an option to accept 3G SDI signals. This option works as an 
audio deembedder for mixed use with other audio interfaces display-
ing up to 32 input channels simultaneously.

Licences

A totally modular software concept means that you only have to 
purchase features that you actually require. This puts you in control, 
defining the functionality of a TouchMonitor that suits your needs 

best. New instruments and functions can be added as software 

modules to the device at any time. Simply purchase and activate the 
corresponding licence.
Many display functions are available to choose from: the unique RTW 
Surround Sound Analyzer, the Real-Time Analyzer (RTA), EBU R128-, 
ITU BS.1770-2/1771-, ATSC-A/85-, and ARIB-compliant loudness 
meters, and the Radar Loudness display acc. to the Loudness Radar 
Meter of TC electronic®.
