June 1, 2004

FREMONT, Calif. -- Elo TouchSystems Inc. has expanded its family of CarrollTouch infrared touch technology products with a new USB controller board, three low-profile screens, a rugged tempered glass filter for vandal-resistant protection, and a controller ChipSet that will provide volume users with design flexibility and cost savings.

The new 4000U controller provides a USB interface to the host PC. The new touchscreen sensors retain the low profile and slim form factor and continue to provide a high optical beam density of 22 points per inch, according to a news release.

The 6-mm-thick tempered glass filter is designed for applications that require protection in a rugged environment. Applications for Elo's CarrollTouch family include indoor/outdoor kiosks, ticketing machines, medical equipment, industrial automation and point of sale.

The new 4000U USB controller board has the same form factor and resolution as the 4000S serial controller it complements, the release said. It increases the flexibility of connection to the host computer. Elo's new ChipSet provides support for either a USB or serial interface now combined in a single chip offering an economic solution to OEMs who seek design flexibility.
