5. UPDD (Windows and MacOS) Information about UPDD installation and configuration 1. Using UPDD for enhanced touch functionality (Download UPDD) Enhanced touch functionality via UPDD UPDD is the best option for taking advantage of a touch screen on the macOS.  Note that we have a simple utility that will take the mouse cursor to the touch display when it detects a touch gestrure. See more information here . UPDD offers the following important benefits and others such as multi-gesture configurations: 1. On the Mac:   If the mouse is not located on the touchscreen of the MP Controller, touch will affect where the mouse is currently located. UPDD transfers the mouse pointer to the touch screen automatically when it detects a touch gesture. 2. Both Mac and Windows:  The  smart magnifier (Zoom on the controller screens with gestures) 3 . Both Mac and Windows:  Returning the mouse position to its previous position after a touch gesture 4. Both Mac and Windows:  Keep the keyboard focused on the DAW after a touch gesture. Download and Install UPDD You can get the UPDD software from  https://touch-base.com/controllerbyte  at a heavily discounted price for a lifetime license and 3 years of receiving updates and support.

Identify Procedure After installing UPDD, you will need to run Identify  from UPDD in order to select the target monitor Gestures for the smart magnifier are preset in UPDD (tap with 2 fingers to magnify).  Optionally you can also  setup  your own gestures. MacOS: Enable the Commander in Screen Recording Don’t forget to enable the Commander in Screen Recording, otherwise the smart magnifier will appear on the desktop instead of the MP Host plugin window (hiding the MP Host window) see  https://support.touch-base.com/Documentation/50778/Smart-Magnifier   Permissions required for UPDD on MacOS are shown here Updating UPDD To update UPDD go to  https://touch-base.com/controllerbyte  and select to download the  trial  (regardless if you have purchased it already).

Read more  here               Alternatively, see these  mouse to touchscreen suggestions Troubleshooting: Mac OS X Touchscreen Model 1A+ The first time, connect the Display USB, using the cable provided, directly on the Mac (not via a hub to eliminate any possibilities of issues). It should show up under System Report > USB as “MP Controller Touch Screen”.  Touch will work, but the mouse cursor needs to be on the MP Controller’s touch screen to control that screen.  UPDD takes care of this, along with other benefits such as the Smart Magnifier, right click function and many more.  UPDD will display it as Vendor ID 0x222A, Product ID 0x0858, Manufacturer: MP Controller Touch Display, Product: MP TouchScreen Do not check the box to select the device. Mac OS X Touchscreen Model 1A The touch needs to show up first in System Report as  G2TSP Multi touch display  under USB. Then you can install UPDD for the touch function to work The touchscreen works as mouse input, therefore when you touch the screen it gets the mouse cursor. If you touch and drag, it behaves in the same way as clicking and dragging with the mouse.  For up to Mac OSX Mojave, the touchscreen monitor does not need any drivers and works with the native Mac OSX drivers when connected. However on Mojave, the mouse position needs to be on the touchscreen so to enhance the workflow we have these 3  suggestions . 2.

How to configure the UPDD Zoom and gestures The latest version of UPDD is configured to use Zoom Screen with the 2 finger tap gesture. Zoom Screen zooms only within the controller's display. The Smart Magnifier zooms outside the controller display as well. If you need to change the behavior of the Smart Magnifier here are the steps to do so. If the Smart Magnifier shows the desktop instead of zooming on the MP Host plugin see  here First make sure you have the latest UPDD version installed. This should be normally obtained from   Touch Base . Allow   the necessary access on Mac OS. Open the UPDD Commander Settings  from the top bar on the Mac                                   Go to Smart Magnifier tab and set the: Width to 1920 Height to 1020 Rectangular Shape and to Not follow touches     5. Navigate to All Applications And set the: Two Finger Tap to Action: Show/Hide the Smart Magnifier Optionally you can set the Two Finger Pinch Expand to Action: Smart zoom Set the Magnification to your preference ie 200%               Then set the amount of              Zoom with gesture movement.             4. UPDD Quick Installation Guide for Mac https://support.touch-base.com/Documentation/50245/Quick-installation-guide mac OS Ventura 13.0.1 is supported by  driver UPDD V7.   V7 - macOS 10.14 and above V6 - macOS 10.8 and above Due to security considerations, since macOS 10.13, users must manually 'Allow' these extensions to be installed, and will be prompted to do so during installation. You do not need to change any setting in UPDD except run the identify procedure as explained here 5. Uninstalling UPDD from the Mac Uninstall procedure To uninstall locate and run “UPDD Uninstall” program. Since UPDD 6.0.242 there is a shortcut icon in the Utilities folder: This shortcut links to the actual uninstaller held in the  /library/application support/updd  folder.     You will need to enter your login details to authenticate the uninstall request and then the  process will start. The uninstaller welcome screen is shown; click Continue. After a few moments the completion screen is shown:   Click close to complete the uninstall. The uninstaller also uninstalls any UPDD extensions that require the driver to be installed, such as  Commander, Gestures and TUIO Server. Any start up items are removed and the applications are  deleted from the /applications/utilites folder  (so long as they reside in this folder!) Commander gesture settings Since UPDD v7.0.48, uninstall can optionally delete the UPDD Commander application,  gesture and actions setting as controlled by global setting updd_commander_uninstall_settings  This setting indicates how UC gesture settings should be handled during uninstall 0 – Retain 1 – Remove 2 – Request (default – show dialog to confirm deletion, given that they may want to be retained) Silent uninstall In some cases it may be desirable to uninstall silently, especially if called from a 3rd party uninstaller  that needs to remove UPDD as part of its own uninstall.  In this case call the uninstall program using  the “-s” option. Note: An icon appears in the dock when running and some messages are output to the console  but we believe this should not be an issue. Please advise if it is. 6.

Mac - The UPDD Smart Magnifier shows the background instead of the MP Host If this happens, then it means that the UPDD needs Screen Recording permissions on the Mac OS.
