TouchMonitor TM7/TM9
The Sight of Sound
In an ideal world, the human ear would be the best instrument
any of us could use for quality control and impartial judgment of
your daily work. However, it is just not that simple.
The introduction of HD and surround sound, as well as loudness
control issues have triggered an increasing demand for quality
control and monitoring of audio signals.
Fast perception and accurate assessment of audio levels using
visual representation methods are indispensable elements of
daily work.
Sub-optimal monitoring conditions, stress and aural fatigue
are just a few of a large number of reasons why relying just on
one’s ears is not enough.

Introducing: The TouchMonitor
The all-new TouchMonitor range is RTW‘s answer to growing
requirements in today‘s production, post-production, and
broadcast world. Equipped with high-grade 7“ or 9“ touch
screens and an easy-to-use GUI, TouchMonitor enters a new
level of professional audio metering in terms of precision,
performance, effi ciency and fl exibility.
Simple and flexible
The graphical user interface used in the TouchMonitor range is
controlled simply by using your fi nger or a mouse. Instruments
can be scaled, randomly positioned and combined in almost
every way for optimized use of available screen space. Even
multiple instruments of the same type, assigned to different input
channels and confi gurations, can be displayed simultaneously.
Plus, a context-sensitive, on-screen help feature supports the
user, allowing him to make setup changes with ease.

Build your meter!
A totally modular software concept means that you only have
to purchase features that you actually require. This puts you in
control, defi ning the functionality of a TouchMonitor that suits
your needs best. New instruments and functions can be added
as software modules to the device at any time.
Many display functions known from existing RTW products are
available to choose from: the unique Surround Sound Analyzer,
the Real-Time Analyzer (RTA), an ITU/EBU-compliant loudness
meter, and an intelligent ident analyzer. A true-peak meter is
available as a software option as well.
Audio I/O options
The TouchMonitor perfectly integrates into today‘s analog and
digital audio and video studio environments.
It handles input signals of various formats: analog, AES3, and
AES3id. In addition, the TouchMonitor TM9 has an option
to accept 3G SDI signals displaying up to 32 input channels
simultaneously.
