Color Video Touch Panels Product Information Product Information The AMX Color Video Panels (CV6) contain a 6" (14.40 cm visible area) 256-color active-matrix liquid crystal display (LCD) placed in either a Wall Mount or Tabletop enclosure (AC-CV6T). This self-contained system uses a microprocessor to control a wide range of multimedia equipment. The TPDesign3 touch panel design program makes it possible to create custom pages with buttons, icons, sliders, bargraphs, time displays, logos, and drawings. The AXD-CV6 (CV6) is designed for wall mounting with a detachable bezel and the use of an optional CB-CV6 conduit/wall box for pre-installed surfaces. FIG. 1 shows the 6" Color Video Wall Panel.
