 Fremont, California — September 16, 2003 — Elo TouchSystems,
Inc., the global leader in touch technology and a business unit of Tyco
Electronics, today announces a new 1229L 12" Liquid Crystal Display
(LCD) multi-function integrated touchmonitor. Following on the success
of its 1525L 15" LCD touchmonitor with built-in magnetic stripe
reader (MSR), the new 1229L includes options for a three-track MSR, a
rear-facing customer LED display, and a biometric fingerprint-recognition
device. The 1229L multifunction integrated touchmonitor efficiently saves
valuable space on the casino work areas and is fully configurable for
a variety of applications including casino pit management, cash cage,
player tracking, casino table management, and customer loyalty programs.
The 1229L is available with a choice of optimized Elo touch technologies:
IntelliTouch surface-wave, AccuTouch five-wire resistive, and CarrollTouch
infrared. In advance of its formal release, Elo's new 1229L LCD
multifunction casino touchmonitor will be previewed and available
for demonstration in booth #673 at the Global Gaming Expo 2003, Las Vegas
Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada from September 16 to
18, 2003.
Reduced Components Mean Cleaner Installation
"The 1229L is a continuation of Elo's commitment to increased
value in new products," says Paul Wiener, Elo's marketing
manager. "Its multi-function options are integrated ergonomically into
the housing
and designed to flow with the elegant styling of the monitor.
We have reduced the number of peripheral communication and power cables
in order
to ensure space-saving simplicity, and clean, easy efficient
installation. The addition of the 1229L multi-function integrated touchmonitor
establishes
Elo as the single point of contact for one of the broadest
ranges of designed-for-touch casino and gaming touchmonitors."
 Versatility Across the Gaming Floor
The new 1229L 12" LCD multifunction integrated touchmonitor provides
a supremely versatile tool for applications across the gaming floor from
casino pit management through cash cage to casino security. "The
three-track magnetic stripe reader is the perfect choice for applications
that require the use of loyalty cards, ID cards, and credit-card transactions," says
Wiener. "The rear-facing display gives the customer immediate visual
confirmation of the transaction. And the biometric fingerprint-recognition
device provides unparalleled security for employee log-in and all types
of system access." According to Mark Bolt, Elo's product
manager, the 1229L LCD display, combined with the customer's choice
of Elo's touch technologies, provides exceptional light-transmission
rates to maintain image quality and color purity. "In addition," Bolt
adds, "Touch input can be activated by the broadest range of styli,
including finger, finger nail, gloved hand, and loyalty card. There is
no stylus material limitation with the 1229L touchmonitor."
