Hi Brad,
I too have been looking at the same monitors, as I am in the process in selecting bilateral touch screen stop jamb monitors. May I expand your inquiry?
There is a frustrating lack of clarity regarding compatibility of specific touch screen monitors with the Mac OS (Yosemite) in manufacturers' websites; and the Hauptwerk user manual is vague in this regard (does that imply most just work via software drivers packaged within Hauptwerk or sample sets, so that this is a non-issue?). There seems unlikely to be any incompatibility in terms of the display function; only the compatibility of the touch function is hard to ascertain even after moderate web research. It is difficult when reviewing manufacturers' websites to determine whether the Windows-only drivers they supply relate only to tweaking the video display, or also play an essential role in enabling the touch features, thus leaving the functionality of touch selection on the Mac OS uncertain. Some forum entries and web discussions conclude that for touch selection within Hauptwerk to be implemented on Mac OS, third-party drivers must be purchased for as much as $160 (e.g. DAWKeys through Touch-Base http://touch-base.com/add/dawkeys.asp). Also unclear is whether any particular third-party driver is essential to basic touch function, needed only to expand the range of touch functions, specific to any model of monitor, or more broadly to any class of monitor technologies (e.g. capacitive, resistive...).
I pose these questions for other Hauptwerk users, developers, technologists and implementors:
1) Which specific monitor models have you personally found to provide touch screen functionality (or absolutely not to work) with Hauptwerk 4 and Mac OS X Yosemite?
2) Do the touch screen features function natively in Hauptwerk 4 on the MAC OS Yosemite (with any manufacturer-supplied drivers), or must a third-party driver (name?) be employed?
I am grateful for any concrete guidance in the selection of touchscreen monitors that our esteemed users and developers may provide.
Thank you,
MOrgen
