SANDER Touch Bridge

SANDER is a compact USB touch bridge that makes any MultiTaction interactive surface work as a standard USB touchscreen — no drivers, no software, no configuration on the host machine.

It receives touch, pen, and eraser data from a MultiTaction display over WiFi and outputs standard USB HID events via USB cable. The host machine sees a standard USB touchscreen and pen digitizer, just like any other input device. Plug in and touch works.

How It Works

SANDER connects to your MultiTaction display's network and receives touch data wirelessly. It converts that data into USB HID touch and pen events that any operating system recognises natively — no drivers or software needed.

Use Cases

Guest Laptop

Connect the SANDER dongle alongside the HDMI cable. The visitor's desktop appears as a Canvus widget with full touch control. Two cables, zero configuration.

Teams / Zoom Room

Plug the dongle into the MTR hub. On-screen call controls appear inside the Canvus widget. Answer, mute, hang up — from the wall, alongside everything else on the canvas.

ClickShare Remote Touch

Dongle into the ClickShare hub. Wireless video into a Canvus widget, touch back out through the active puck. Wireless video and touch, nothing installed on the presenter's machine.
