Status/Control (Touch Screen)
The touch screen Status / Control component provides the connection between the physical touch screen and the Q-SYS Designer User Control Interface (UCI). In order to make the connection, you must specify the hardware's hostname, network redundancy status, and assign a UCI. Once the physical hardware is identified, the touch screen component provides the hardware status.
For information on supported touch screens, see Q-SYS Hardware.
Note: Make sure you use the proper Q-SYS Designer component for the hardware connected to your Core. The TSC components are not interchangeable.

ID |
When the ID / Identify button, in the Q-SYS Designer Status component, or the Configurator's Network Configuration for the hardware, or on the physical hardware is pressed, the ID buttons in the Configurator and Status component flash, and the LCD on the physical Hardware flashes to indicate the association between the three. The indicators will flash for 5 minutes unless you stop them by pressing any one of the buttons. |

---|---|---|
Name |
Identifies the Touchscreen component in Q-SYS Designer, enabling the connection between the design and the physical Touchscreen. This name should be the same as the Touchscreen Device Name in the Configurator. Click in the Name property and type the Name. The name must follow standard naming conventions, restricted to the following: ASCII characters a - z (case insensitive) Digits 0 - 9 Hyphen (cannot be at the beginning or end of the name) Underscore (acceptable with a Q-SYS implementation) No other characters, symbols, punctuation, or blank spaces. |
User input |
Location |
User defined Location for the Touchscreen. The Location helps to group hardware according to its physical location. |
User input |
Is Network Redundant (Only |
Indicates if the Touchscreen is connected to redundant networks. TSC-7t only: If "Is Network Redundant" is set to Yes, the "USB Audio Endpoints" for the selected TSC-7t are not available. If the "USB Audio Endpoints" Speakerphone or Soundcard is set to Yes, the "Is Network Redundant" property is not available. |
Yes / No |
Is Required |
When the hardware is not connected to Q-LAN: When Is Required is set to Yes, the Status is "Missing" / Red if the hardware does not exist on the network. This is the default behavior. When Is Required is set to No, the Status is "Not Present" which is not considered an error. The color displayed for "Not Present" equipment is gray. If a device is dynamically assignable but has not been assigned, it is considered Not Present" even if it is required. Refer to the Q-SYS Core Manager Dynamic Pairing topic for more information. |
Yes / No |
Dynamically Paired |
Indicates that this virtual component can be paired with the same type of hardware without changing the network id of the hardware, or the name of this component. Refer to the Q-SYS Core Manager Dynamic Pairing topic for more information. |
Yes / No |
Verbose (TSC-7t only) |
Must have one of the USB Audio Endpoints set to Yes. When Verbose is set to Yes, the Input and Output details display in the Control Panel. | |
External USB Audio (TSC-7t only) |
When enabled, you can connect an external audio device to the USB input and route audio to and from that device. See External USB Audio Device In and Out. |
Disabled / Enabled |
Orientation (TSC G2 only) |
Select the orientation to match the touchscreen physical installation. To prevent the need of reinstalling the unit, you can select one of the "flipped" orientations. Note: When installing a touchscreen in portrait orientation, the Orientation property in the touchscreen Status/Control component and the User Control Interface Properties must both be set to 'Portrait'. |
Landscape Landscape (flipped) Portrait Portrait (flipped) |
UCI Assignment |
The choices are Static, only the specified UCI is used, and Dynamic you can select the UCI when the UCI is running. |
Static/Dynamic |
UCI |
This field can be edited only when the UCI Assignment is set to Dynamic. With the UCI Assignment set to Static, the name of the assigned UCI displays in this field, but cannot be changed. Use the pull-down list to select the UCI assigned to this TSC component. |
