novel technology. Zytronic’s Hybrid Touch allows electromechanical buttons and dials to be mounted and invis- ibly connected within the ac- tive area of projected capacitive touchscreens which can be used in video walls, touch tables and kiosks. This gives designers the flexibility to utilise touch sensors and still provide the tactile feed- back for critical controls, without needing to incorporate a separate button deck below or alongside the screen. If suitable transpar- ent buttons are used, then but- ton functions can be dynamically changed by altering the GUI de- sign beneath the button, further


Digital Signage Expo ran in the Las Vegas Convention Centre on the 27th and 28th March 2019. Founded in 2004, Dig- ital Signage Expo (DSE) is the world's largest international trade show dedicated to digital signage, interactive technolo- gy, and out-of-home networks.

UK support


European supporters of DSE in- cluded Zytronic with its public demonstration of a new Hybrid Touch technology that enables full integration of physical con- trols embedded within a dynam- ic touchscreen. Zytronic’s booth demo featured an ultra-narrow border 55-inch touch table with different


software applications showcasing practical uses for the


improving the flexibility of the touchscreen. This is the first time the two most frequently used control technologies have been so closely integrated in this way. Supporting up to 100 simultane- ous touches, Zytronic’s ZXY500 controller allows touch sensors to be designed with an ultra-narrow inactive border, creating a sleek appearance by using the maxi- mum display area. The increased speed of the controller updates touch coordinates in just 1ms at the controller output, reducing touch latency by a third com- pared to previous-generation con- trollers, and improving the user experience. The manufacturer says that the controllers are easi- er to integrate into a system than ever before, and that ZXY500 controllers enable a faster, more responsive user experience even in demanding outdoor and un- attended locations, where users may be wearing gloves or apply- ing only a light touch.


Video wall controller


Again, with strong UK interest, tvONE introduced a new, en- hanced CORIOmaster video wall processor at DSE. The booth also featured new HDMI 2.0 products including


active optical cables


and a new series of distribution amplifiers.


The powerful CORIOmaster (4RU), CORIOmaster mini (1RU) and CORIOmaster micro (1/2 RU) video wall processors, coupled with our easy-to-use creative vid- eo wall design software, CORIOg- rapher, CORIOmaster video wall processors are described as the most flexible and secure proces- sors on the market. CORIOgra- pher allows for 360° rotation, mix and match display types, overlaps or edge-blends, and automatical-


ly corrects for display size and bezels.


The latest CORIOmaster en- hancements include a secure communication


suite with


full REST API and multi-user control. Other improvements included an HDMI 4-port out- put module (CM-HDMI-SC- 4OUT), audio support for the CORIOmaster and CORIOmas- ter mini for embedded audio, and a dedicated audio module (CM-AUD-2IN-4OUT). The HDMI 4-port output upgrades your C3-540 CORI- Omaster to up to 56 outputs to create massive video walls, projector edge blends, and LED installations. The new embedded audio support and audio module ensure the CO- RIOmaster is supreme when you need both video and au- dio in an installation. The IP streaming module now ac- cepts both H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) for higher quality, increased bandwidth perfor- mance and includes a low la- tency mode.
