RedRadio RelayTouch-UTMA In-Wall Touchscreen LCD

So you’ve decided that the finishing touch on your home automation or home theater project is touchscreen control.  However, you’re not content with just one touchscreen are you?  No, you’ve got to have as many as you do rooms.  Traditionally a stumbling block to your grand plan would have been that each touchscreen needed to be connected to it’s own computer.  With the introduction of the RelayTouch-UTMA that problem is no longer an issue as each 12.1” LCD touchscreen operates as a thin client, and as many as ten can connect to your media/automation server.  If you’ve invested in a Windows 2000 or 2003 server you can up that amount to a total of 30 touchscreens. 

As with a traditional thin client, the touchscreens have only enough brains/power to connect to your server, and the server then provides the required applications and the necessary processing power.  If you’ve used Remote Desktop, Terminal Services or VNC, then you’ve got a basic idea of how the process works.

If you’re looking to simplify or streamline your setup by reducing the required number of PC’s, then the RelayTouch-UTMA is certainly up for consideration.  If you’re looking to save money, you might want to consider other options as the MSRP is $1095 (provided you pre-order before they ship sometime in March).
