G4 Control

Jeff Lockyear

Any idea how many simultaneous users (PCs) can browse to and control a touchpanel via the master? We have a very computer savvy client who isn't keen to drop the cash on alot of touchpanels when he's having PCs all over the place. I was going to suggest a panel at the rack that's programmed for house wide music, lighting, iTunes, etc, that he and his guests could browse to.

Am I just asking for trouble? We're still in the conceptual stage at the moment.

One connection per touch panel.

Easy answer, thanks.

Actually,

It's 3 connections simultaneously (on my 5200i anyway, you can change the number in the G4 web control settings in protected setup).

It pays to keep the firmware up to date. You are correct; I updated the firmware and now I do get 3 connections on my 5200i. Very cool. This is the first time I?ve seen the ability to make more than one simultaneous connection with any G4 touch panel. Thanks for the connection correction Dries.

I wonder if multiple connections are only for the 5200i as my CV12 and my 1700VG have the latest firmware but they only allow 1 connection. Hopefully over time firmware that supports multiple connections will migrate to the other touch panels.

Can anyone get more than one connection on anything other than a 5200i?
