7" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels
Introduction
The NXT/D-CV7 7" Modero® Widescreen Color Video Touch Panels (FIG. 1) are the industry’s first
widescreen mini-touch panels and are available only through AMX.
Introduction
NXD-CV7 (front view)
(FG2258-02)
FIG. 1 Sample 7" Video Touch Panels
NXT-CV7 (front view)
(FG2258-01)
These Color Video (CV) panels display NTSC/PAL/SECAM video formats within variable sized
windows. They include a built-in microphone, speakers, audio/headphone connector, and six NetLinx
®
programmable pushbuttons (available on NXD models only when mounted with included Button Trim
Ring).
®
Table Top models use AMX's exclusive SmoothTilt
technology for effortless adjustment of the
viewing angle.
Each panel is sold only as part of a CV7 Kit which includes both a panel and an
NXA-AVB/ETHERNET Audio/Video Breakout Box (FG2254-10). This box facilitates the installation
and distribution of video (either Composite or S-Video), data (via Ethernet), and audio to Modero touch
panels located up to 200 feet (60.96 m) from the breakout box. CV7 panels are ideally suited for
displaying full motion video and audio with overlay graphics for applications with demanding visual
requirements.

The NXD-CV7 panel (FG2258-02) is shipped, by default with a Trim Ring containing
buttons, but the end user can later install the included Trim Ring without button
openings.
NXT panels can not be upgraded by simply replacing a Trim Ring on the Faceplate.

Introduction
Key features common to both panels include:
CV7 panels are based on the latest display technology and support AMX's 4th generation (G4)
graphics which provide higher brightness, richer colors, and deeper contrast. The new G4
graphics technology is supported by the latest AMX TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design program
(version 2.6 or higher).
CV7 panels display eye-catching images and full-motion video on a large 16:9 image format,
while providing a wide 100-degree top-to-bottom viewing angle.
CV7 panels feature a front panel light sensor, motion sensor, IR receiver and a Sleep/Setup
Access combo button.
CV7 panels are field upgradeable to 802.11g communication via the installation of the new
NXA-WC8011GCF Wi-Fi Card Kit (FG2255-07).
CV7 panels support AMX Computer Control, which enables remote viewing and control of
any networked computer directly from the panel. This gives the user the ability to launch
digital music from a PC, cruise the Internet, check and respond to E-mail, open software files,
and launch applications. Anything you can do on your PC can be accomplished through these
panels.
The optional wireless solution includes an NXA-WC80211GCF internal Wi-Fi card that
allows the CV7 to communicate with a NetLinx Master via a standard 802.11g Wireless
Access Point, and an NXA-BASE/1 battery base kit that allows the NXT to function off the
charge from the included single NXT-BP battery.
CV7 panels feature programmable firmware that can be upgraded via either the Ethernet port,
wireless interface card, or the mini-USB port.

FIG. 7 NXA-AVB/ETHERNET Breakout Box connector wiring diagram
The rear-panel wiring connections are described below (from left to right):
• AUDIO IN: 6-pin mini-Phoenix connector, divided into left and right audio channels. Each
channel is divided into GND, IN+, and IN- terminal cable connectors
(2 sets of 3 for each channel).
An example of this cable is to strip the ends of 2 RCA audio cables and insert
them into their respective locations on the Audio In port.
Either a balanced (+, -, and GND) or unbalanced (+ and GND) audio
signal can be connected to this input.
• MIC OUT: 4-pin mini-Phoenix connector, divided into GND, OUT-, and OUT+ terminal
• Video In BNCs: Feeds either Composite/S-Video Luma or S-Video Chroma signals into the
• ETHERNET: RJ-45 connector routes data to the G4 touch panel through the front Ethernet
connectors.
An example of this cable is to strip the terminal ends of a 3.5mm mini-jack and
insert them into their respective locations on the Mic Out port. This signal can
be fed as a Line Level In to either an amplifier or an AMX VOL card.

Wiring the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET for Unbalanced Audio
Most domestic audio equipment has unbalanced audio inputs and outputs. This means that the audio
output (left, right, or mono) appears on a single wire, and is referenced to "0 V" or "Ground". Typical
connectors used are RCA "phono" connectors, DIN plugs/sockets, and 0.25" (6.3mm) or 3.5mm jack
plugs/sockets.
Unbalanced audio is adequate for most domestic environments and for line-level signals in a typical
broadcast studio. Problems may occur if the signals are carried over long distances, especially if the
source and destination have separate main supplies. Use the following wiring drawing (FIG. 8) to
configure an unbalanced audio connection.
•PWR: 2-pin mini-Phoenix connector that connects to a 12 VDC-compliant power
supply. This port can be used to provide power to a Modero panel by sending it
through the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET (rear power connector through to the front
power connector).

When using unbalanced audio for the AUDIO IN connector (FIG. 8), the "-" and the "GND" terminals
should be connected together and then connected to the GND of the unbalance audio signal. When
connecting to an unbalanced audio input from the MIC OUT connector (FIG. 8), wire the "+" terminal to
the signal input, and the "GND" terminal to the signal ground.
Wiring the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET for Balanced Audio
Professional audio equipment will often use balanced audio inputs and outputs, usually on 3-pin "XLR"
connectors. A balanced audio signal consists of a pair of wires carrying the audio signal in anti-phase
with each other (if one wire carries a positive voltage, the other carries an equal and opposite negative
voltage).
The advantage of balanced audio over unbalanced audio is its ability to reject external interference added
as the signal is carried over the wire. The receiving equipment takes the voltage difference between the
two wires as the input signal. Interference will usually get added to both wires equally, and so gets
cancelled by the receiving equipment.
The 3 wires used in a typical XLR lead are often referred to as Ground, Live (Hot) and Return (Cold).
"Live" and "Return" carry the "in-phase" and "out-of-phase" versions of the audio respectively. The pins
of the XLR plug/socket are as follows:
10
• X = Ground
• L = Live (Hot)
• R = Return (Cold)
7" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels
CV7 Touch Panel Accessories
When connecting the MIC OUT connector to a balanced audio input (FIG. 9), use all three audio
terminals (+, -, and GND), then connect the "+" terminal to the "live" signal, the "-" terminal to the
"return" signal, and the "GND" terminal to the ground signal.

This interface card (FG2255-07) is a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi LAN CF Card which upgrades a Modero panel’s
wireless RF capabilities from 802.11b to 802.11g. This card also provides the end-user with several new
methods of wireless encryption and data security such as WPA and WPA2. In addition to being
backwards compatible with 802.11b networks, this card is installable within all current MVP, CV7, and
CV10 panels. To fully utilize these newer wireless security features, this card must be used in tandem
with the latest Modero firmware upgrade available at www.amx.com.
This card works with compatible 802.11b/g Wireless Access Points such as the NXA-WAP200G (which
uses a default SSID of AMX). Please follow your particular Wireless Access Point’s instruction manual
for the correct procedures to setup either a secured or unsecured connection. The following table lists the
specifications for the NXA-WC80211GCF.

CV7 Touch Panel Accessories
This upgrade kit requires that pre-existing panels first be removed from their current location (surface,
wall or docking station) before an installer can access the internal circuit boards and upgrade a
pre-existing 802.11b wireless CF card.
Only MVP panels require the use of a cardboard cutout (Mounting Template) to properly position the
metal antenna plate onto the inner surface of the unit’s rear plastic housing
CV7 and CV10 panels only require locating the Compact Flash’s metal cover plate on the main circuit
board and then adhering the terminal antenna connector to that location using the included double-sided
adhesive tape.
If the CF metal cover plate is not present over the wireless card slot on a CV7 or
CV10 panel, you can use the adhesive tape to secure the terminal antenna to the
surface of the new card (atop the product label).
The procedures for upgrading a CF card on an MVP is identical for both MVP-7500 and MVP-8400
panels. The procedures for upgrading/installing the new CF card are also similar across all referenced
NXT panels and NXD panels as a group (differences arise from their housing).

NXA-CFSP Compact Flash (FG2116-3x)
Every CV7 Modero panel is shipped with a 64 MB Compact Flash card (NXA-CFSP).
If possible, upgrade the panel’s internal components (Compact Flash or wireless
interface cards) prior to installing or using the panel.
The NXA-CFSP Compact Flash card is factory programmed with specific panel firmware and can be
upgraded to several sizes, up to 1GB:
Optional Compact Flash Upgrades
• NXA-CV7CF128M - 128 MB Compact Flash card (FG2116-60)
• NXA-CV7CF256M - 256 MB Compact Flash card (FG2116-61)
• NXA-CV7CF512M - 512 MB Compact Flash card (FG2116-62)
• NXA-CV7CF1G - 1 GB Compact Flash card (FG2116-63)
Upgrading the Compact Flash card in both panel typesinvolves opening the panel enclosure/outer
housing to access the internal circuit board, removing the existing card, replacing it with the 802.11g
upgrade, and then resecuring the panel enclosure, as described in the following sections.

Before Upgrading the Wireless Card - Read This...
This new firmware file provides both backwards compatibility with the previous
802.11b cards and new security protocols for the new 802.11g wireless CF card.
1. Upload the latest panel-specific kit file to your Modero touch panel and then confirm the firmware
file update was successful.
Each panel should be updated using its associated panel-specific kit file (SW2258_02 for the
CV7). This new firmware file provides both backwards compatibility with the previous
802.11b cards and new security protocols for the new 802.11g wireless CF card.
If you don’t first update the firmware file on the panel, before proceeding with the card
upgrade process, you will be required to configure NetLinx Studio to communicate
with the target panel via a direct USB connection.
In this communication scenario, your PC acts as a Virtual NetLinx Master establishing
a secure USB connection to the target panel and then uploading the new Kit file.
Installation and Upgrade of the Internal NXT Components
Upgrading the cards within the Table Top panel involves removing the outer housing (with speaker
plate), removing the existing card, replacing it with the 802.11g upgrade, and then placing the outer
housing back onto the NXT panel, as described in the following sections.
These panels do not come factory installed with the NXA-WC802.11GCF wireless interface card. This
card must be ordered separately from AMX as part of the 802.11g upgrade kit (FG2255-07).
Do not use Ethernet cables containing mounting boots. These boots could make
removal of the Ethernet connectors (from the panel) difficult and cumbersome.
Step 1: Remove the existing NXT Outer Housing
Carefully detach all connectors from the rear of the touch panel and then gently place the touch
1.
panel LCD facedown onto a soft cloth to expose the under-side of the base (FIG. 16). This step
helps prevent scratching of the LCD.
2. Tilt the base forward so that both the bottom surface and Housing Screws are easily accessible.
3. While holding the outer housing and base plate at an angle (to prevent it from sliding), use a
grounded Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the four Housing Screws.

Note the location of the four plastic adhesive "feet". Once the outer housing is placed
back onto the panel, these "feet" must be placed back onto their original locations so
they can fit into their provided openings on a Battery Base.
4. Rotate the panel back over (while gripping the entire unit and outer housing) and rest the base back
onto a flat surface.
5. Gently tilt the LCD panel backwards to expose the Tilt Bracket/Speaker assembly (FIG. 19).

These two screws must
first be removed before
being able to remove
the outer housing.
6. Locate the two screw holes at either sides of the front speaker grill and then use a grounded
Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two Tilt Bracket Screws (FIG. 17). This procedure both
loosens the rear Tilt Bracket cover plate (with the AMX logo and Hinge brackets) and provides
greater flexibility for the removal of the outer housing. Without this step, the Hinge brackets
(FIG. 17) present an obstacle to the removal of the outer housing and restrict access to the circuit
board.
7. Tilt the LCD panel back up to gain better access to the Tilt Bracket cover plate.
8. In a single motion, carefully pull both the Tilt Bracket cover plate and outer housing up and then out
(away from the LCD panel) to expose the internal circuit board (FIG. 18).
