Getting Started with TouchLink

Do you recall your personal computing experiences of the past? Perhaps you have been around long enough to have seen the evolution from the Commodore 64 to the Windows and Apple systems of today. The complexities of code based computing has been left behind for more user friendly and more productive experiences (No we're not talking about Facebook). However, if you wish to enjoy a little nostalgia, you can visit YouTube to document the years of modern progress since the Commodore computer.

Clearly the A/V Industry has also made some significant advances that has not only altered the way people live and work but also the way we integrate the technology as professionals. It therefore should come as no surprise that Extron's Configuration based approach to Touchscreens has simplified what was traditionally only the domain of the code programming sect. Extron's new adaptation puts professional control system deployment within easy reach for today's integrators with less time and resources required from their business.

So what is Extron's secret to Configurable Control? The answer is, there is no secret. You quite likely use software regularly that uses a windowed interface to complete more complex tasks in code. Viewing this page on the Internet does exactly that. Your browser reproduces web sites from HTML code with very little interaction from you. Producing documents using word processing software or spreadsheets is another example.

Getting started with TouchLink systems is easy, on this page you will find links to training and resources that will put you on the right track to deploying Extron TouchLink Touchscreen technology. You may also like to consider attending the Extron Configurable Control School, this training provided free around Australia for A/V Professionals. If your unable to attend, the Configurable Control Systems Training is also available online. While the learning curve with configuration is more straight forward compared to the programming alternatives, using any software or products requires at least familiarity with the software, concepts and products. If you still have questions we are always here to help.
