With the limitations of USB length you might find that all your screens
are too close together Gareth ;-)

Ok, so why wouldnt I just have the same screen throughout the house ? So

mebe 2 or more units with the same web/mainlobby/etc interface.

It uses VGA for the screen, so we could just split the VGA to deliver to

all touchscreens.
And the touchscreen is via a USB interface. When using a mouse via USB,
you could have more than one mouse, and either work (mebe not at EXACTLY

the same time). SO mebe plugging in multiple touchscreen via USB would
be
ok. Can't see me using more than one touchscreen at the exact same time
(when they compliment the CBUS switches anyway).

So that's one mini-pc to drive multiple screens and the touchscreen
portion.

Workable ?
