One output to two displays, controlled by touchtable

[alfred]

the source which displayed both on display wall and touchtable need to be controlled via touchtable and iPad, is it possible?

Using OSC to send events and data is easy and works across as many machines as you need. You can even control your graphics system from several machines at the same time.

First of all, thanks for your reply!
Could you pls illustrate it detail?
Here is the diagram in my brain.
1) connect the workstation which the source is being playouted to both dispaly wall and touchtable;
2) the scene on the display wall can be controlled by touchtable and ipad.

Is it necessary to programming?

Thanks！

If your workstation is outputting graphics for both touchtable AND display wall it might get complicated.
- Does the touch table driver support being a second screen? Some touch tables drivers only support being the only display attached to a computer. Be sure it works!
- Are the graphics on display wall and touch table the same?!

In any case, you do not need to program in order to work with OSC. Ventuz has build in OSC nodes for sending and receiving data. Since you have two devices communicating/controlling the display wall content it still makes sense to use OSC - even if the touch table and the display wall graphics are from the same system. This way you only need one way of controlling.

For more information about OSC and controlling scenes with it refer to the Ventuz Help manual. Look up the topics
"How to Remote Control a Ventuz Scene with an iPhone" and "Open Sound Control (OSC)" and "OSC Nodes".

The graphics on the video walls and touch table are just the same.

What is the touch table driver? If I want to it support the touch table support second screen, how can I configure? Could you have something to recommend?

Thanks a lot!

Alfred, If you are looking to use an app on the iPad, there are many to choose from...

Touch OSC is very good and also Lemur. Both available for ipad and Iphone. This will enable you to send OSC commands to OSC nodes in Ventuz. Easy to programme from Mac or PC.

There is also the free OSC iPad app from Sterolize.

alfred, the touch table driver is the one that is bundled/used with the touch table that you want to use. That driver is always specific to the touch table / touch screen hardware that you use. BUT, if it is the same content anyway on both screens then you do not have to worry. Just use a DVI splitter and send one output of the graphics workstation to both devices. DONE!

Chris & Peter, thanks both of you!
