Touchscreen
From SpinetiX Support Wiki

Introduction
A touchscreen is an input device and normally layered on the top of a screen, allowing a user to give input, to react or control what is displayed simply by touching the screen. The touchscreen enables the user to interact directly with what is displayed, rather than using a mouse, touchpad, or other such devices (other than a stylus, which is optional for most modern touchscreens). Touchscreens are found in the medical field, heavy industry, automated teller machines (ATMs), and kiosks such as museum displays or room automation, where keyboard and mouse systems do not allow a suitably intuitive, rapid, or accurate interaction by the user with the display's content.
Any touchscreen or touch overlay, which uses an HID compliant controller, is connected to the player's USB port and works in single-touch mode should be supported. See also the section about multitouch.
Note:Multi-touch support
Support for multi-touch devices, including multitouch handling in HTML layers has been added in firmware 4.7.0 – this applies to for HMP400/HMP400W, iBX players, and third-party DSOS players.
- Multi-touch controllers may not be compatible with the player (including HID-compliant ones), so if you find that your multi-touch screen/overlay doesn't work with the player (i.e., touchscreen calibration fails), try to place it into single-touch mode, if possible.
- SVG Tiny 1.2 does not support multitouch, therefore it is not possible to create projects that respond to such multitouch events - the player will try to reduce them to single-touch events. If you need multi-touch support, then you need to use an HTML page, instead of SVG content.

Not supported
For security reasons, no third-party drivers or applications can be installed on the player. Therefore, touchscreens requiring a specific driver to function are not supported – this is the case for the majority of non-HID devices, except the ones written above.
For instance, screens using Acoustic pulse recognition (APR) technology from Elo are not supported because they use a proprietary driver, not an HID-compliant driver. Note however that most models from Elo exist in both the APR and "Intellitouch" variants, the latter usually includes HID drivers.
