NHD Touch App

Watch the tutorial or read the guide below.

Touch App is a free application for iPad and Android that lets you control your NetworkHD system. The app connects to the CTL-Pro controller, which forwards commands to endpoints.

Before you begin

1. Use CTL-Pro: The app requires a CTL-Pro controller.

2. Configure NetworkHD: The NetworkHD system must be configured using the controller's WebUI before using the app.

3. Network settings: Ensure your device is on the same network range as the CTL-Pro before opening the app. Navigate to your device's network settings and set the correct IP address.

Connect the app to the CTL-Pro

When you first open the app, it will attempt to access the CTL-Pro on its default IP address 169.254.1.1. If you are using a different IP address, follow these steps:

1. Open the app settings and click Advanced Settings.

2. Enter the default password admin.

3. Go to Change NHD-CTL IP Address and enter your CTL-Pro IP address.

4. Click Connect.

Once connected, the app will display receivers grouped by the previously configured zones. Below, you’ll see the transmitters, each showing a preview stream from the input device.

To configure zones, go to the Touch App Tab.

Assign Sources to Displays

If you have multiple configurations in a single zone (e.g., Video Wall and Multiview in the same room), use the white arrows on the sides of the screen to scroll through the configurations.

Single Display
