Multiple Echo Touch screens in one system.

You can have multiple echo touch stations in the same system. 

are you using echo bus or network connections?

Hello! Like Nick mention in his comment, you can indeed have multiple EchoTouch screens together in a system. In this case, you'll want the DMX or sACN patched to only a single EchoTouch. The other devices will be patched as Echo zones and you will need Echo bus connection between the multiple screens. 

does  it means, that  practically  the  second  EchoTouch should  operate  the  only  presets and Echo Zones? What is  general limitations  for using   double EchoTouch  then  DMX or sACN  are patched?  

Hi Oleg,

Each EchoTouch in the bus, could have its own dmx patch saved to Presets, and when a Echo Preset is activated those DMX Outputs saved in each EchoTouch will be outputted. For instance, if in first EchoTouch you have Universe 1 patched, and saved into Preset 1, and in the second EchoTouch , you have Universe 2 patched and saved into Preset 1,when Preset 1 is activated in the Echo Bus, then both touchscreens will replay their Preset 1.

Correct there! Once you have another EchoTouch, we're essentially creating an Echo system, and then are bound by the rules of the Echo system: 16 zones per space. 

If you have different fixtures patched in different spaces to take advantage of multiple universes, you are fine. By that I mean: if spaces 1-4 are patched to universe 1 on EchoTouch 1, and spaces 5-8 are patched to universe 2 on EchoTouch 2, and you're just using Echo communication to control all 8 spaces from both, you shouldn't see any problems.

The weirdness may come if you patch the same fixtures to both EchoTouch. For the most part, it may be fine, but there are instances where the two may get out of sync and then your output may be conflicting. Because of the potential sync issues here, we do not support this application. Plus, why would you want two sources that are outputting the same thing over sACN? In this case, it is better to just have a single source of output and use the other EchoTouch as a "client" to communicate with the primary unit. 

Thank  you  Corey! 

So far  I didn't  play  with  more  than  one  EchoTouch in a system, so I have  to  learn  Echo  more  detailed how  it  work. Until now I have much more experience  with Paradigm and  Mosaic,  and  only  few  projects  was done with Echo
