I have a room where I'd like to have a touch screen at both the lighting booth and at the main doors. Can that be done with the Echo product line or do I need to jump up to Paradigm? I couldn't find this answer in any of the Echo Touch documents.

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.

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
Here is a riser example of 2 Echo Touches and the more common and appropriate way you would use multiple echo touches in a small system.
