VIA Touch Panel from ELAN Home Systems can be easily configured to control some of these components. Basically, a VIA Touch Panel actives an overlay screen while displaying the video output from the hard drive player. The overlay is programmed with commands that correspond to the command on the video display.
The VIA Touch Panel makes the operation of these hard drive players very user friendly.
