Chapter 4. TheaterTouch Designer Basics
The TheaterTouch system controller is divided into two sections: the touchscreen and
the keypad. You can assign commands, macros and page links to any button you
create on the touchscreen or on the keypad buttons.
The keypad button layout of the TheaterTouch follows the pages, not the frames, so all
12 frames of a page will have the same commands, macros and page links on the
keypad buttons. Each frame of the touchscreen can have different commands, macros
and page links.
PAGES
T
he individual screens on the TheaterTouch system controller are called pages. Pages
on the touchscreen can contain buttons, links to other pages, a title, text, commands,
and macros.
The page links, commands and macros associated with the keypad buttons on the
TheaterTouch are also stored with each page.
Each page can have up to 12 frames on the touchscreen, and usually has the controls
for just one component. Each frame is accessed by scrolling left and right with the
arrows at the bottom of the TheaterTouch touchscreen. With TheaterTouch Designer,
you can add and delete pages, duplicate pages, etc.
All TheaterTouch pages have a page title. The page title is the name that appears in the
title bar above the touchscreen grid and in the Page List.
