Topic: nTouch 60 without nControl

Hi

I just purchased a nTouch 60 and found out that I porbably need nControl to use it.
My system have mainly Nion N3 and the project I am connecting the nTouch 60 to is on a N3.
Is there a way to get around this or do I have to have a nControl to use it.

Re: nTouch 60 without nControl

The nTouch 180 will also provide the features required to run nTouch 60s, the difference is the 180 will manage 5 to 7 nTouch 60s, where the ncontrol will manage far more.

Make it intuitive, never leave them guessing.

Hi Fergy,

Can we get a clarification of the 5-7 x nTouch60 handled by an nTouch180?
We have projects that approach/pass this number.
thanks

Is it possible to add a second (or third) nTouch 180 to service an additional 5-7 nT60s each?  I'm spec'ing a job that this will have an impact on.

Thanks!

Re: nTouch 60 without nControl

To answer Jim's question first, yes.

To answer Phil's question, it is really about activity.  Let say that you had 20 nT60s connected, but only ONE was being used at a time....It would take a long time to "push-out" the graphics, but we know the nTouch 180 can manage one nT60.

Now, PLEASE don’t even think that I’m saying how many nTouch 60s the nTouch 180 can handle, other than 5 to 7.

That said, back when we came back from Thanksgiving break (end of November), I had gathered up twenty nTouch60s in my office.  I was going to add them to the nT 180 until it “broke”…Then another project came up that has absorbed all my time for the last four months.  Hopefully, I can get back to this project sometime soon, and give you some “real world” numbers.
