Almost exactly three years ago, Kindermann launched its first own touch displays on the market. The success confirms the company's decision at that time, which is now further expanding its portfolio to meet all requirements. The changes in the world of work and school have extremely increased the demand for interactive displays. Both areas are about collaboration and knowledge transfer, but also about sustainable investments. The new TD-11 series combines intuitive operation with high functionality as well as performance while preserving budgets.

Optimal touch precision

The new Kindermann TD-11 touch displays impress with their natural and very precise writing feel, which is made possible by zero-gap technology. Thanks to the support of up to 40 touch points, several people can work on the display at the same time, and the Microsoft Pen Protocol 2.0 is also supported. The 4K UHD resolution ensures a perfect and detailed display.

Future proof equipment

A powerful octa-core processor, WiFi 6, and an Android 11 operating system ensure a sustainable investment. The connectivity is impressive. Among other things, an HDMI 2.0 input and a USB-C port that supports picture, sound, data, and touch and offers 65 watts of charging power are available on the front.

Other ports are easily accessible on the side of the displays, including another USB-C port. Furthermore, an OPS slot, two HDMI 2.0 and a DisplayPort input as well as other common interfaces are found there. Separate touch inputs via USB for each video input provide further convenience. This way, they don't have to be reconnected when changing sources. A 2x 20 W stereo sound system ensures the best audio playback.

Typical Kindermann look-and-feel

The new interactive displays feature the same user interface as the TD-20xx series introduced in 2022 by Kindermann. This has been specially developed for intuitive operation and ensures that meetings or lessons can start without delay. In addition, the same apps are installed, such as EShare, a software for the wireless transfer of content. This creates a uniform look and feel across all Kindermann touch display series. This is an advantage for customers who want to use different model series now and in the future.

Prices and availability

The TD-11xx series will be available in the first quarter of 2023 at prices starting at €1,590 plus VAT.

A new MacOS BYOM client and optimizations in terms of Miracast transmission bring further added value.

KLICK&SHOW Screen Link

The absolute highlight of the firmware update is without a doubt the new KLICK&SHOW Screen Link function. This makes it possible to link two KLICK&SHOW two base units with each other. This has the advantages that twice as many HDMI outputs as well as processing power are available and content can be output to two displays at the same time. The latter is ideal for applications that benefit from outputting different image content across two main displays. For example, different value tables can be easily synchronized during presentations, and all participants and content can be displayed simultaneously in web conferences. In education, the instructor's training material can be permanently displayed while the students' content is rotated through on the second display.

BYOM meets MacOS

Kindermann GmbH continues to write its success story in the field of touch displays. With the new 105-inch TD-30105-UW, which is ideally suited for New Work environments, the company is taking on a pioneering role. In addition to the extraordinary aspect ratio of 21:9 in 5K resolution, it convinces with a future-proof hardware equipment.

A real eye catcher

The new Kindermann touch display TD-30105-UW impresses with its 105 inch panel with an aspect ratio of 21:9 in 5K resolution. On the one hand, this exceptional format has the advantage of offering more space horizontally for visualizations. This is ideal for displaying and collaborating in project management plans known from Agile, Scrum or Kanban. On the other hand, the special width is optimal especially for video conferencing. A perfect example of this is the Front Row application in Microsoft Teams Rooms, where all remote participants are shown in a gallery view at the bottom of the display. This gives the feeling that everyone is sitting at the same table. The design has also been thought of, the narrow frame is the same on all sides. Thanks to the 20 touch points, two people can work comfortably on the display at the same time. The Zero-Gap technology ensures precise input.

Powerful OPS PC on board

The touch display offers two DisplayPort interfaces that primarily support the 5K resolution, among other advantages. Of course, the bandwidth of all common ports is also available. Our new TD-30105-UW does without an Android operating system. Instead, it relies on an integrated state of the art Windows OPS PC with Intel i7 processor, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, pre-installed Windows 10 Pro, WiFi 6 as well as two Thunderbolt 4 ports. This ideally meets the requirements of companies, as their existing infrastructure is mostly based on Windows applications. Another advantage of the OPS PC is that the new touch display can remain in use for a very long time, because if the integrated OPS PC should ever become too slow, it can be easily replaced. This ensures a sustainable investment.

Mobile despite size

Most common display mounts/stands are designed for sizes up to 86 inches. This is where our special role as a manufacturer comes into play. To match the new touch display, we offer you the ideal optional roller stand. This allows it to be used flexibly despite its size, which means real added value.

Kindermann announces the cooperation with Tukans. The British distributor is from now on the sales partner for the Kindermann KLICK&SHOW product family and touch displays in the UK and Ireland.

York-based AV distributor Tukans was born in 2003 from the desire of its founders, Yvonne Womersley and Andrew Popely, to find, use and tell others about innovative AV products. Since 2020, Tukans has been part of the CUK Group along with two other AV distribution companies in the UK and Ireland - CUK (Glasgow) and CUK Video and Audio (Dublin).

"Our strength in our home market of Germany is based on innovative products and solutions supported by a team of experts. Customers in international markets will benefit greatly from our product offering, but this requires the support of strong local partners who share the Kindermann ethos. With Tukans, we now have such a partner for two key European markets."

Romano Cunsolo, head of international sales at Kindermann

"Our partnership with Kindermann enables integrators in the UK and Ireland to offer their customers some of the best conference room technology available today. The wireless presentation and collaboration kits in the KLICK&SHOW product range are already impressing our customers with their ease of use and high performance compared to competing products."

Stuart Thomson, Managing Director of Tukans

"Success in business is based on personal relationships and the Tukans and Kindermann teams already have a good connection. A notable example of this is when Simon, without hesitation, stepped in at the last minute to replace the Kindermann team at the local Eibelstadt company run when he was in Germany recently."

Simon Druce, Director Sales of Tukans

What makes a company that has existed for more than 160 years? Continuous renewal! This is how the success of Kindermann GmbH can be described. Sometimes it is small adjusting screws that are adjusted, but now a new era is being ushered in. From now on, Kindermann presents itself with a modern brand identity and launches a quality offensive in all areas as well as an innovative dealer online store in the near future.

Kindermann Products, the success speaks for itself

Already three years ago, the decision was made to focus more on the own brand again. The company has not limited itself to its own products, but has expanded its portfolio to include touch displays and the collaboration system. KLICK&SHOW further expanded. In doing so, Kindermann places the highest value on its own developments, which make these solutions remarkably easy to install and operate. Distribution continues to be an important mainstay. This provides dealers with a wide range of alternatives and enables them to meet the diverse needs of end customers with one-stop shopping.

"With our new claim "Kindermann proudly presents" we are going on the offensive again. For too long we have not made our success and importance visible. Our new claim does not only stand for our own products, but we are also convinced of the quality of the distribution products and our services. All of this can be titled "Kindermann Experience", our claim to provide customers with an excellent experience at every touch point with us",

Dominic Hoffmann, Marketing Manager of Kindermann GMBH

The new brand identity

The redesigned logo of Kindermann now also includes a figurative mark that is emblematic of the company's next chapter. This combines the "K" of the old word mark with the familiar symbol for "Play/Start" and a stylistic element that stands for connectivity & collaboration. In the future, the new Kindermann button will play a central role in the products and services and ensure a high recognition value.

Kindermann has made "excellence" its motto, which should apply not only to the products, but to all areas of the company. The design element "Spark of Excellence" was developed for this purpose. This key visual is derived from a jewel and will significantly shape the corporate identity.

"We don't want to be the biggest, but we want to be the best - that's our goal. In doing so, we have set the bar high for ourselves and set in motion a process internally that we are working on together day by day. We are proud of our external image, as the new look reflects our innovative strength."

Timo Meissner, Managing Director of Kindermann GmbH.

Although the decision is not yet final, as Barco can still appeal, Kindermann sees the ruling as a clear signal. At the center of all the disputes is "KLICK&SHOW", the wireless presentation solution from Kindermann, which has now grown into a comprehensive product family.

As early as 2018, Kindermann filed an opposition against Barco's patent with the European Patent Office. The company was not alone here; other providers of similar collaboration solutions also challenged the patent. Now the European Patent Office has decided in the first instance that the inventive step of the described technical features is not sufficient to maintain the patent for Clickshare.

In 2018, Kindermann launched "KLICK&SHOW". This was already a thorn in Barco's side at the time and it tried to obtain a sales ban, but to no avail. The lawsuits of the Belgian manufacturer were rejected by courts in Germany and the Netherlands, and appeals are also underway. It will be interesting to see the final verdicts.

"We are very pleased with this interim victory. Unfortunately, such proceedings are very lengthy and we will have to exercise patience until the final decisions are made. The positive trend and the success of KLICK&SHOW encourage us to consistently expand the product family," says Timo Meißner, Managing Director of Kindermann GmbH.

"New Work" and hybrid working bring with them new requirements. Kindermann recognized these trends at an early stage and offers with KLICK&SHOW smart solutions that are particularly easy and intuitive to use. Content can be transferred wirelessly from a notebook or mobile device to a large screen, or video and audio equipment can be controlled. The comprehensive product family is currently probably the only one on the market that can be used via transmitter, software client, app or natively via Airplay, Miracast and Chromecast. Support for all major operating systems, a variety of transmitters with USB-A, HDMI, and USBC ports, and an excellent price/performance ratio make KLICK&SHOW a good choice.

"The cooperation with EET Deutschland GmbH enables us to further expand our customer base in the direction of IT resellers and system houses. The decisive factors for the decision were the distinctive sales experience in this dynamic market as well as the specialized teams with experts and the first-class support for their customers."
