EOS Littlelites and Ion Touchscreens

Hi Paul,

The EOS Littlelites have the ability to dim, but the feature has not yet been implemented in software.  There's talk about putting the feature in 1.9, but that hasn't been finalized yet.

The ELO touch screens are specified as DVI so they will work with the entire EOS family including ION and Element, which are DVI-D only consoles.  The EOS console has DVI-I outputs, meaning that a DVI-VGA adapter will work. - Much like your client is seeing.

I hope this helps!

I should really do a better job at reading posts before replying...  I now realize you said ION touch screen...

Here we go again:

ION consoles have 1 VGA port and 2 DVI ports. The VGA port is the mirror image as the #1 DVI port.  As I understand, your client only has 1 touch screen. And since its plugged into the VGA port, it's working fine. (Much like any other VGA monitor would.)  If the customer wanted 2 touch screens, at least one would have to be DVI. 

For the sake of simplicity, we specify that touch screens should be DVI. Then there won't be any issues if a customer orders two touch screens of the same model.

Sorry for having to answer this twice. Does it make sense?

Kevin,

That makes perfect sense. Thank you for the quick reply. Thanks.

Paul

If the VGA port is mirroring DVI #1, and I have dual DVI touch screens installed, can I add a VGA LCD monotor on the VGA port for an SM sitting next to me, or 50ft away (on a VGA ext cable)  to get what's on the DVI1 screen ?.

Hi Steve-

No such luck, I'm afraid. If you have the DVI port 1 populated, the VGA output is disabled. You could use an after-market VGA splitter or, better yet, a laptop in mirror mode on a Cat5 cable.
