Kindermann GmbH its first touch displays under its own label in 2020. Now, just under two years later, the company is presenting the next generation with its new TD-20xx series of touch displays. Interactive displays are not only used in businesses; they are also enjoying tremendous success in schools.

Kindermann has always been active in the education sector and is very familiar with the demands, but also the reservations about new technologies. Therefore, the focus is on ease of use, which is reflected in the user interface developed in-house. It is designed so intuitively that users can get started immediately without any training effort.

Natural writing feel

The Kindermann touch displays of the TD-20xx series impress with their new glass surface. Thanks to Zero-Gap technology, there is no empty space between the touch and LCD panels, which further improves the accuracy of touch input. This makes writing on the touch display feel as natural as writing on paper. The new slim and highly precise infrared touch frame supports up to 40 touch points and enables accurate object recognition, for example whether a thick or thin pen or the hand is used as an "eraser". In addition, the surface has an antibacterial coating. This protection remains intact even with intensive use and frequent cleaning.

Future-proof, sustainable investment

The new Kindermann TD-20xx models have a powerful and future-proof configuration that can also be compared with current tablets and smartphones. This includes a modern SoC (System-on-a-Chip) with quad-core processor (1.8 Ghz), 8 GB RAM and 64 GB storage for apps and data.
Android 9.0 is currently used as the operating system. The touch display can be equipped with a powerful PC via the OPS slot and thus access to the Windows world can be opened.

Screen Mirroring on board

With the integrated EShare solution, mobile devices can be connected quickly and easily, regardless of the operating system. Their content can then be transferred wirelessly to the touch display. This also works the other way around, so that the large display can be mirrored onto the tablets of meeting participants or students, for example. In split-screen mode, up to four screen contents can be displayed simultaneously. HDMI and USB-C dongles are also available for particularly intuitive use via Plug & Play.

Wide range of connection options

The TD-20xx touch displays have a large number of connection options to connect peripheral devices such as cameras and sound systems etc.. The ports are easily accessible on the front and side. The ports have been expanded by a new USB-C interface, which means only one cable is needed for video, audio and touch transmission as well as charging. The charging current of 65 watts is also sufficient for power-hungry notebooks.

Windows Ink

Windows Ink support has also been improved. The advantage of Windows Ink is that passive pens are also recognized automatically. Thus, annotations can be made comfortably in all common Windows Office applications without having to select the tool. The new touch displays are available in 65, 75 as well as 86 inch sizes.
Remarkable is the standard warranty of three years with on-site replacement service.
