A&E Specifications¶

The touch-screen device shall enable control of a Symetrix DSP system via a full-color LCD screen with capacitive touch for user input.

The device’s display shall be rectangular measuring 5 inches (127 mm) diagonally with a 10:6 aspect ratio. It shall have 800x480 pixel resolution and up to 400 candelas/m2 (or nits) brightness. The display shall be framed by a rectangular black plastic bezel measuring 5.54 inches x 4.02 inches (140.72 mm x 102.11 mm). The controller shall be designed to mount on a wall surface and attach to standard North American and European wall and junction boxes in landscape (horizontal) orientation. When mounted, the face of the controller shall protrude 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) from the wall surface.

The device shall communicate with a Symetrix DSP system via 1000 Mbps Ethernet using standard TCP/IP protocols using an RJ45 jack on the rear panel. The device’s user interface screens with graphics, controls, and indicators, labels, etc. shall be resident in non-volatile program memory which provides program security should power fail. The device shall provide an on board real time clock to facilitate time and date display and may sync to NTP.

A designer software application shall be provided that operates on a Windows computer, with network interface installed, running Windows 10® or higher operating system. The designer application shall develop and manage the device’s user interface screens constructed from objects within the Symetrix Composer software including faders, buttons, meters, LEDs, text, icons, and other graphics.

The controller shall have an operating temperature range of 0° C to 50° C (32° to 122° F) and shall be operable in non-condensing relative humidity as high as 85%. It shall typically dissipate 23 BTU (5.8 kcal) heat per hour but not more than 40 BTU (10.1 kcal) per hour.

The device shall be powered over Ethernet (PoE) by an IEEE 802.3af Class 0 standard compliant switch. The device shall meet UL/CSA and CE safety requirements and comply with CE and FCC Part 15 emissions limits. The device shall be RoHS compliant. The chassis shall be constructed of steel and molded plastic, and mount into a standard 2-gang US or EU Wall Box. The device shall be a SymetrixT-5.
