RS232

The serial control RS232 can be disabled when it is inactive. RS232 allows you to operate the Prowise touchscreen through another device by means of a wired serial cable. You can find the RS232 codes in the appendix of the manual of the relevant touchscreen on our website.

Hardware buttons

To disable the control panel on the touchscreen, switch on the 'disable buttons' option. Note: it is not possible to block both the buttons on the control panel and the remote control at the same time in the Central menu.

Extra bright

This mode limits the brightness of the screen to reduce energy consumption.

Reflect pin code

When the Reflect pin code is active, a user will need to enter a pin code before being able to connect with the screen through the Reflect client.

Airplay™ pin code

When the Airplay pin code is active, a user will need to enter a pin code before being able to connect with the screen through Apple Airplay™.

German OTA servers

When this feature is active, the touchscreen only connects to the servers in Germany.

Menu gesture

There are multiple ways to open the menu. Open the menu by holding five fingers on the Prowise touchscreen for two second, use the remote control or press the Power button on top of the Prowise touchscreen. In case 'Menu gesture' is disabled, holding five fingers on the touchscreen does not open the menu. The menu can only be opened by using the remote control and the Power button on top of the Prowise touchscreen.

Quick menu

The menu button is the one with the Central home icon that is always displayed on the left-hand side of the screen, in any input. The Prowise Central menu will open once you press this button. Here you can also hide the menu button by touching it. You can make the menu re-appear by pressing down on the screen with five fingers, using the remote control or with the Power button on top of the Prowise touchscreen.
