With the increasing adoption of flat panel TVs and Windows Media applications, the use of a traditional keyboard and mouse is becoming cumbersome for many applications. One attractive alternative is to use a touch overlay that fits directly over the flat panel and acts as a real-time mouse controller for any application, such as navigation, media players, games or picture viewers. 'Our customers love the simplicity of the touch overlay as a retrofitted item'.

'It simply fixes, or clips to the edge of your TV or monitor and plugs into any available serial or USB port', said Nick How, MD of Fiducia.

'Once the drivers are loaded you have a fully fledged 42in touch monitor on your wall with no need to operate awkward keyboards or mice to make song, picture or other such selections'.

'Particularly suited to Windows Media this is a very exciting and natural product to operate for any technology fan'.

Measuring 1014 x 615 x 16.5mm and with an opening of 928 x 529mm the unit suits most plasma and LCD screens available on the market and does not require the user to dismantle the TV or monitor leaving manufacturers' warrantees intact.

A full 1 year guarantee is offered on the IR-420, and drivers are available for all windows applications.
