Extron is pleased to introduce two larger, high resolution TouchLink Touchpanels. The TLP 1000MV and TLP 1000TV are fully configurable 10″ touchpanels featuring a sleek, contemporary look and thin bezels to complement any decor. The larger, 1024 x 600 resolution touchscreen surface provides ample room for sophisticated controls and graphics.
