The uniCUE touch panel controllers are innovative new kind of product combining touch panel and controller
in one box. Everything in the room can be controlled with its integrated control ports. These devices offer
cost effective one-box solution for meeting and conference rooms, boardrooms, classrooms, private houses
etc. From design point of view these products are fully compatible with cuenium2 touch panel product line.
The front case is machined from a single billet of aluminium greatly improving the rigidity of the device.
Active matrix touch screen displays 7” (uniCUE-7-B) or 12” (uniCUE-12-B) diagonal offer resolution
800 x 480 or 1280 x 800 pixels and produce stunning 32-bit (True Color) images. Built-in light sensor
automatically adjusts display backlight according ambient light level and motion sensor can resume touch
panel from backlight saver mode. The IR sensor located on a front panel can receive IR signal from CUE
wireless IR control panels without the need to use any external IR receiver. In addition uniCUEs are equipped
with internal IR sensor allowing to capture IR codes.
Wired Ethernet connection provides easy network integration with other CUE units and it allows bi-directional
IP control of any manufacturer IP enabled products. The uniCUEs are equipped with following control ports:
two bi-directional serial ports RS-232/422/485, four IR /serial outputs (IR signal up to 1.2 MHz), four general
I/Os configurable as analog input or digital open collector output and two double-throw contacts relays 24 V.
Both uniCUEs provide video preview right on the touch panel. Streaming or downloaded video can be viewed
at any location on the display or in full screen mode. Integrated front panel speakers provide clear audio for
streaming media and for internal graphic object feedbacks, voice prompts and other personalized sounds.
Built-in microphone allows to use uniCUE as a voice memos recording device. Audio line input and line
output located on a rear panel offers the same functionality as integrated microphone and speakers.
Application is created in Cue Visual Composer software where touch panels and controllers are programmed
in the same way, which makes it possible to use touch panels as fully functional control units. One universal
programming language XPL2 allows to program graphical objects, touch panel layouts, device drivers and
other parts of control application. The uniCUEs also offer a web server for setup and configuration provided
through a standard web browser.

Programming
Both touch panel controllers have to be programmed using Cue Visual Composer. These models are not
compatible with Cue System Director.
Devices can be controlled using IP, serial channels, IR channels, general I/Os and relays. All CUE keypads,
keyboards and interfaces can be connected using RS-485 serial ports. In addition uniCUE is fully compatible
with other CUEunits such as touch panels and controllers connected via Ethernet.
Following figure describes uniCUE application example.
The microphone is prepared for future use. The functionality depends on a firmware version.
Motion sensor
The Motion sensor resumes touch panel from Backlight Saver mode. This functionality can be enabled /
disabled using On Screen Display or Admin Web.
IR Receiver
The built-in IR sensor carries the same functionality as irCUE Receiver or irCUE Receiver 485. This means that
touch panel can receive IR signal from CUE wireless IR control panels without the need to use any external IR
receiver.
Light Sensor
The Light Sensor automatically adjusts display backlight according ambient light level. This function has to be
enabled using On Screen Display or Admin Web.
Touch-screen display
Touch-screen display with active matrix color LCD and resistive membrane touch overlay.
Speakers
The built-in stereo speakers allows to play sounds stored in the touch panels.
Multifunctional button
The multifunctional button shows On Screen Display used for touch panel setting. For more details see
