Introduction

7” Touchscreen display kit M2

The M2DIS is an optional display unit with touchscreen which can be installed internally
in the front panel of the M2 Multi-Media Digital audio mixer. This unit consists of a
7” TFT display panel with a resolution of 800 x 480 px that is fitted with a resistive
touchscreen panel. It is controlled by a powerful 32 bit processor which communicates
directly with the DSP processor.

This unit allows the user to operate the control and configuration functions of the matrix
system without any external equipment. This can be useful for direct access, when the
system is installed in a technical room where no external control devices are within
reach or in case the system is not connected to a LAN network due to security reasons.

Touchscreen precautions

• Tap the touchscreen gently. Never use force.

• Don’t use any sharp object to tap the touchscreen. Don’t use a pen, but only
use your fingertips or stylus especially meant for use with touchscreens.

• Keep the touchscreen dry and clean. Don’t use any abrasives or cleaning
solutions to clean it. Only clean it with a soft damp cloth.

There are two different access levels, administrator level and user level.

If you login with the administrator password, you get access to all functions and
configuration options. (The factory default password for administrator access is
“M2”).

When logging in with the user password, you only get access to the basic functions of
the main screen, such as changing the volume and changing the mixing / presets for a
particular output. (The factory default password for user access is “user”).

After pressing the text field, a keyboard screen will come up and the password can
be entered. After the password is entered, press the “OK” button, and you will be
redirected to the main screen of the M2 interface.

For a better overview of all outputs, a name can be assigned to every output. The
names displayed are identical to the names entered in the web interface.

The M2 has an internal digital signal generator which can generate white noise, pink
noise and sinusoidal signals with a selectable frequency.
Each of those signals can be patched to any output zone.

When one of the test signals is selected, “Other” will appear in the ‘Input Selection”
box on the main screen.
