DXP-PRO v1.1 - User Interface Guide
Touch Panel Screens
Introduction
Design XPress Professional™ (DXP-PRO) is a software package created by AMX to provide
dealers with the ability to quickly install a system that can control many of the common devices
found in today’s business/media environment including: display devices, A/V switchers, DVD and
CD players/changers, personal video recorders, VCRs, lighting, relay controlled devices, and
Ethernet-controlled devices. DXP-PRO v1.1 (or higher) also supports AMX MAX-IMS and
MAX-MMS Ethernet-controlled media servers.
The touch panel pages are created by the DXP-PRO application upon completion of the project file.
The DXP-PRO panel pages can be divided into two main areas: the Menu Bar and the Main
Display. While there may be some minor differences in the layouts of these pages, depending on the
type of panel being used, they all contain these two areas (FIG. 1).
Touch Panel Screens
Menu Bar
Main Display
FIG. 1 Design XPress - Professional touch panel layout
Main Page Menu Bar - Scrolling vs. Static
There are two different styles available for the Menu Bar: Scrolling and Static (FIG. 2). The menu
style is specified in the DXP-PRO Wizard (Touch Panel Interface dialog). The Scrolling menu style
allows you to scroll through all available device/source selections using the arrow buttons found at
either end of the Menu Bar. The Static menu style includes a Sources button in the Menu Bar that
takes you to a page where all available sources are displayed. When using the Static Menu, the
scroll arrow buttons are omitted.
When using either menu type, once a selection is made, the relevant page is displayed within the
Main Display area. Both an image and text description of the selected device/source are shown
within the area on the right side of the Main Menu.

Touch Panel Screens
There is no major functional difference between the two main menu types. This choice is made
available simply to accommodate user preferences.
Scroll (left/right) buttons - scroll to select from all available sources.
Scrolling menu
Static menu
Sources button - opens the Sources Page,
where you can select from all
available sources.
FIG. 2 Main Page Scrolling and Static Menu Styles
The pages represented in this document use the Scrolling menu style.
Touch Panel User Interface - Logo Page
After the DXP-PRO touch panel file is loaded to a panel which then reboots; the first page
displayed is the Logo page (FIG. 3). It allows access to the Main page where users can select and
control their configured equipment. The default graphic (animated on G4 panels) can be replaced
with a logo that better represents the installation location. The Logo page is a great place to send the
panel when not in use, to showcase a graphic, logo, or animation of the conference room it controls.
You can also access the Logo page by pressing the Logo Page button from the About splash page.
New to this version is the addition of Startup/Shutdown macros that can be configured to execute a
series of actions associated with startup and shutdown procedures.

FIG. 3 Logo page (showing both the Startup and Shutdown macros)
If after pressing the Logo page the panel does not display the DXP panel pages, refer
to the report file. Make sure the panel Device Number matches the value assigned to
the target panel within the project (this value is reflected within the Device Addressing
section of the Report file).
Touch Panel User Interface - Main Page
To access the Main page, touch anywhere on the LCD screen (during the display of the Logo page).
The Main page (FIG. 2) allows access to all of the available device and utility pages in the system.
This page consists of the Menu Bar (either Scrolling or Static), and the Main Display (as described
in the previous section).
Scrolling Lists in the Panel Pages
Several of the DXP-PRO panel pages include lists from where you can make selections (for
example, if there are more than 10 inputs in the system, pressing the arrow buttons scrolls through
the list of available inputs).
