AMX has released 7- and 10-inch Modero X Series touch panels. Features include a capacitive, multi-touch screen, high-definition video streaming, Bluetooth VoIP and USB external phone connections. Control and automation solutions provider AMX has announced the immediate availability of the 7- and 10-inch Modero X Series touch panels. These smaller, widescreen versions belong to the multi-award-winning family of touch panels which were designed to incorporate all the multi-touch capabilities, such as gesturing, swiping and tapping, that today’s users have come to love. “95% of the success of a control system is the user interface,” explained Robert Noble, AMX’s chief technology officer. “Individuals the world over have become accustomed to the use of command-based gesturing, tapping and scrolling to interface with their technology. The Modero X Series takes this method of interaction to new levels of intuitiveness, enabling the user to easily take advantage of the advanced functionality onboard. These touch panels are unlike anything else out there in the market.” Features of the new 7- and 10-inch models include a capacitive, multi-touch screen, high-definition video streaming, Bluetooth VoIP and USB external phone connections. The 10-inch adds a high definition camera for video chat and conferencing (in tabletop and wall landscape models). And, demonstrating future readiness, the Modero X Series also supports Near Field Communications (NFC). NFC enables device personalisation by allowing two devices in close proximity to exchange data, such as between a smartphone and another NFC-enabled device. AMX states that the widescreen, frameless, edge-2-edge glass design is unlike any touch panel on the market and delivers a user experience like no other. AMX has already released the 20.3-inch and 19.4-inch panoramic models, available in tabletop and wall-mounted options. The Modero X Series 4.3-inch models will begin shipping in Q3 2012. www.amx.com/Xseries
