MediaMatrix® Launches sTouch™ 7 Touch-Screen Controller

MediaMatrix®, a Peavey Commercial Audio® brand, introduces the sTouch™ 7 Touch-Screen Controller. Featuring a Power over Ethernet (PoE) 7-inch diagonal IP65-compliant intelligent touch screen, the sTouch 7 provides a rich graphical user interface that can be tailored to support any control and monitoring requirement.

The sTouch 7 offers an improved user experience with its functional and responsive Projective Capacitive (PCAP) anti-UV, anti-glare touch control interface. The screen has a resolution of 1024 x 600 and a 16:9 aspect ratio, as well as brightness of 500 cd/m2 and a 700:1 contrast ratio. An Apollo Lake Intel® Celeron® processor (2 MB cache, up to 2.4 GHz) provides ample capacity, while supporting the robust Windows 10 IoT Enterprise industrial operating system. Onboard M.2 SSD storage of 32GB plus 4GB DDR3L RAM are included. A silent convection cooled operation keeps the unit running optimally.

The sTouch 7 enables network connectivity via two GbE RJ45 network interfaces or optional selected Wi-Fi supporting IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/b/ac. Multiple USB-2 and USB-3 ports (two each) allow for general purpose control and monitoring that’s fully supported by PCA’s award-winning MediaMatrix nWare™ and Kiosk2Go™ audio-video and control software suite.

To support remote configuration across the connected network, the sTouch 7 can be powered over ethernet from a single cable drop connected to a PoE-capable network switch supporting IEEE 802.3at on-board or an equivalent power injector. Alternatively, the unit can be powered from an external universal 12V DC – 3A power supply. A power switch and reset button are included on the back-panel controls.

Weighing just 1.6 pounds unpackaged, the sTouch 7 can be easily installed with VESA mount points and separately purchased accessories, including a wall/surface mount, desktop stand, and a 19-inch equipment distribution frame.

With its clean, modern design, sharp 16:9 high-resolution display, control processing capabilities, and flexible mounting options, the MediaMatrix sTouch 7 Touch-Screen Controller provides the end user with a rich graphical user interface and a control engine that can cater to a variety of applications.
