Introduction
Our new product, mTV-100, not only provides all high-performance features as MT8000iE series, but
also reduces the cost of large size (&gt;15&quot;) HMI. The mTV-100 is able to connect with a touchscreen
monitor, ex. ViewSonic TD2220, which performs all the features of HMI. Compared with the
traditional HMI, this key change leads a large size HMI more cost-effective without sacrificing the
performance.
In this application note, we will outline the procedure to implement this new architecture which is
composed of an mTV-100 and a and touchscreen monitor (ViewSonic TD2220). Also, we will
describe the usage of HDMI and its features. For more detailed hardware specification information,
please refer to the related user manual.

Innovative architecture of large size HMI
1. Innovative architecture
Traditionally, HMI is an All-in-One touchscreen device. Now, we separate the HMI into an mTV-100
control box and an LCD touch monitor (ex: ViewSonic TD2220) which are connected by the HDMI
interface. Not only the mTV-100 can connect to a HD LCD touch monitor for interactive operations,
but also it provides COM port &amp; Ethernet I/F that are able to connect with a variety of PLCs or
controllers as same as the traditional HMI does.
2. Connect to large size HDTV touchscreen monitor：ViewSonic TD2220
The 22&quot; ViewSonic TD2220 is a HDTV LCD touchscreen monitor. Connected to an mTV-100, the
TD2220 can support 1280x720 HD resolution display. It has 20,000,000:1 MEGA dynamic contrast
ratio for sharp crisp images. Also, it has 8H scratch resistant surface hardness which ensures the
consistent high quality touch operation.
3. HMI device SMALLER, touchscreen BIGGER
Due to no LCD and touch panel, the mTV-100 is much slimmer and able to be fitted in any control
cabinet. Via HDMI I/F, it can connect to a variety of large size HDTV touchscreen monitors that
provide bigger screen size to show information.

4. Reduce your expense on large size HMI
In general, the sizes of HMI screen are from 7&quot; to 15&quot;. Some HMI manufacturers provide HMI with
screen size larger than 19&quot; but it is very expensive. However, our new and innovative architecture,
combining an mTV-100 and a TD2220, greatly reduces your expenses for a large size HMI.

Frequently asked questions

The mTV-100 is a new product that provides high-performance HMI features, similar to the MT8000iE series, but reduces the cost of large size (>15") HMI by connecting to an external touchscreen monitor, such as the ViewSonic TD2220.

Traditionally, HMI is an All-in-One touchscreen device. The mTV-100 separates the HMI into a control box and an LCD touch monitor (e.g., ViewSonic TD2220), which are connected by the HDMI interface, leading to more cost-effective large size HMIs.

The mTV-100 can connect to a variety of large size HDTV touchscreen monitors, such as the 22" ViewSonic TD2220, supporting 1280x720 HD resolution display.

By separating the HMI function into a control box and a standard LCD touch monitor, the mTV-100 greatly reduces the overall expenses for large size HMI solutions, which are typically very expensive when provided as all-in-one units.

The mTV-100 supports two types of cables for video output: HDMI to HDMI and HDMI to DVI (Digital Visual Interface). For connecting with the ViewSonic TD2220, an HDMI to DVI cable is required.

Yes, the USB port of the mTV-100 is capable of connecting with a mouse or the touch panel output of an LCD touch monitor for enhanced interactive operations.
