The three-year warranty period will be extended to the life of the product (Limited Lifetime Warranty) if the warranty card is filled out by the dealer and/or end user and returned to AMX so that AMX receives it within thirty (30) days of the installation of equipment but no later than six (6) months from original AMX sales invoice date. The life of the product extends until five (5) years after AMX ceases manufacturing the product model. The Limited Lifetime Warranty applies to products in their original installation only. If a product is moved to a different installation, the Limited Lifetime Warranty will no longer apply, and the product warranty will instead be the three (3) year Limited Warranty.

All products returned to AMX require a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number is obtained from the AMX RMA Department. The RMA number must be clearly marked on the outside of each box. The RMA is valid for a 30-day period. After the 30-day period the RMA will be cancelled. Any shipments received not consistent with the RMA, or after the RMA is cancelled, will be refused. AMX is not responsible for products returned without a valid RMA number.

AMX is not liable for any damages caused by its products or for the failure of its products to perform. This includes any lost profits, lost savings, incidental damages, or consequential damages. AMX is not liable for any claim made by a third party or by an AMX Authorized Partner for a third party.

This Limited Warranty does not apply to (a) any AMX product that has been modified, altered or repaired by an unauthorized agent or improperly transported, stored, installed, used, or maintained; (b) damage caused by acts of nature, including flood, erosion, or earthquake; (c) damage caused by a sustained low or high voltage situation or by a low or high voltage disturbance, including brownouts, sags, spikes, or power outages; or (d) damage caused by war, vandalism, theft, depletion, or obsolescence.

This limitation of liability applies whether damages are sought, or a claim is made, under this warranty or as a tort claim (including negligence and strict product liability), a contract claim, or any other claim. This limitation of liability cannot be waived or amended by any person. This limitation of liability will be effective even if AMX or an authorized representative of AMX has been advised of the possibility of any such damages. This limitation of liability, however, will not apply to claims for personal injury.

Some states do not allow a limitation of how long an implied warranty last. Some states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages for consumer products. In such states, the limitation or exclusion of the Limited Warranty may not apply. This Limited Warranty gives the owner specific legal rights. The owner may also have other rights that vary from state to state. The owner is advised to consult applicable state laws for full determination of rights.

VG-Series Modero Touch Panels

Introduction

The VG Series of Modero® Touch Panels offer streaming MPEG video, high-definition Component RGB input and display, USB support for extended input devices, and panel programming via a mini-USB port.

The new G4 graphics and Video/RGB technology is supported by the release of the latest TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design Program. These video-capable panels support several video formats: NTSC, SECAM, and PAL (Color Active (CA) panels don’t support video).

Multimedia Streaming Video Touch Panels (VG-Series)

Although these panels are similar to the 1200V models, in that they both share connectors for USB communication and Audio/Video distribution; the VG-Series far exceed those panels by additionally providing RGB Component video display, MPEG streaming technology, and pass-thru computer control.

These panels are capable of NTSC/PAL/SECAM video formats within variable sized video windows. These VG-Series panels display HDTV Component video (fed from an external NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box and then through an internal NXA-RGB card). In addition to composite video support, the new VG-Series of panels now feature USB connectivity for mouse and keyboard, and pre-installed antennas for all Table Top models.

Powered by a cutting-edge DSP core, the VG-Series has the muscle to handle digital streaming (both video and audio), in wired or wireless configurations. These Moderos feature full support for standard MPEG-2 streaming video as well as MP3 and AAC streaming audio.

The NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box (FG2254-11) facilitates the installation and distribution of video (Composite and Component), data, audio, and pass-thru Computer Control to Modero touch panels located up to 200 feet (60.96 m) from the NXA-AVB/RGB box.

The VG-Series of touch panels can be fitted for either Video (Composite) or RGB (Component) via the use of two Kit configurations: Video Kit and RGB Kit. Each kit comes with its own group of standard components that are specific to its configuration. Although a panel can be order with either of these kits; a previously fitted Video Kit panel can be later upgraded to accept and display RGB Component via the use of an RGB upgrade package called the NXA-RGBKIT (FG2255-11). This upgrade kit supplements the existing Video fitted panel (FG225X-XXV) with such things as an internal NXA-RGB interface card and an external NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box.

The Video Kit fitted units can accept either Composite or S-Video from standard video devices. These Composite video panels include those listed below:

Modero Multimedia Touch Panels (VG-Series with Video Kits)

NXD-1200VG (FG2251-61V) 12" Modero Multimedia WallMount Touch Panel with Video Kit. NXT-1200VG (FG2250-61V) 12" Modero Multimedia Table Top Touch Panel with Video Kit. NXD-1500VG (FG2253-61V) 15" Modero Multimedia WallMount Touch Panel with Video Kit. NXT-1500VG (FG2252-61V) 15" Modero Multimedia Table Top Touch Panel with Video Kit. NXD-1700VG (FG2256-61V) 17" Modero Widescreen WallMount Touch Panel with Video Kit. NXT-1700VG (FG2257-61V) 17" Modero Widescreen Table Top Touch Panel with Video Kit.

Introduction

The Video Kits include the following components:

Modero VG-Series Touch Panel (NXD or NXT) (FG225X-XXV) Modero 10’ foot Table Top Cable (CA2250-50) NXA-AVB/ETHERNET Breakout Box (FG2254-10)

These panels are capable of displaying both Composite video and High-Definition Component RGB, bringing together both Video and RGB capability together into one panel.

Modero Video/RGB-compatible panels utilize an internal NXA-RGB interface card (combined with an external NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box) to accept and display high-bandwidth and high-quality RGB and HDTV Component video signals. An existing Video Kit fitted VG-Series touch panel (Video only) can be upgraded to display RGB input by purchasing a separate NXA-RGBKIT. These Video/RGB panels include those listed below:

These panels can have up to two USB-capable input devices connected for use both on its different firmware and TPD4 panel pages. These input devices can consist of a keyboard or mouse.

USB-connected input devices are detected and recognized by the panel upon connection. Refer to the Configuring and Using USB with a Virtual

Master section on page 87 for more information on using a USB connection.

1. Insert the input device USB connectors into the appropriate USB connector on the panel.

2. Press the on-screen Reboot button (Protected Setup page) to save any changes and restart the panel.

3. After the panel splash-screen disappears:

If a USB mouse has been connected, a mouse cursor appears on the panel screen and its location

corresponds to the mouse cursor position sent by the external USB mouse.

If a USB keyboard has been connected, only on-screen keyboards and keypads will reflect any

external keystrokes sent from the external USB keyboard.

Cleaning the Touch Overlay

You should clean the touch screen overlay after each day’s use. Always use clean cotton cloths and a spray bottle containing water.

Overview

The following section outlines and describes both the included accessories and other AMX equipment available for both the Video and Video/RGB models of touch panels.

When working with firmware, it is important to note that version 1.xx of firmware should only be loaded onto box’s using 1.xx series firmware. The version 2.xx firmware should only be loaded onto bo x's running 2.xx series firmware. To confirm the box’s current firmware version, you can either navigate to the BOB Version field on the RGB Adjustment page or launch NetLinx Studio and open the Online Tree tab. Modero-VG touch panel firmware 2.60.27 or higher is required to download v2.xx firmware into the break out box.

NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box (FG2254-11)

The NXA-AVB/RGB Ethernet/RGB Breakout Box allows any of AMX’s VG-Series Modero Touch Panels to accept and display both RGB or HDTV Component signals directly from an external source. Through this single connection point, the 12”, 15” and 17” VG-Series Modero panels experience comprehensive connectivity for audio/video distribution, power, Ethernet connectivity, and RGB. FIG. 2 shows the NXAAVB/RGB Breakout Box.

Touch Panel Accessories

FIG. 2 NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box (front and rear views)

The NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box is available either separately or as part of AMX’s exclusive RGB Kit (NXA-RGBKIT). The RGB Breakout Box (combined with the panel’s internal NXA-RGB interface card) allows the Modero to accept and display high-bandwidth and high-quality RGB and HDTV Component video signals. The NXA-AVB/RGB stands out amongst all previous AMX Breakout Boxes in that it is firmware upgradeable, feeds high quality video signals via RJ-45 cables, and provides keyboard and mouse passthrough functionality via the rear USB connector.

If the PWR/Activity LED (on the front of the unit) is blinking rapidly, this indicates there is currently an activity in progress (such as a down l oa d ). DO NOT unplug the unit during a download as long as the LED is blinking in this manner.

RGB RJ-45 connection and wiring information

This RJ-45 connector is used to route the signals connected to the RGB / Component input port on the rear of the AVB/RGB Breakout Box to the VG-Series Modero panel. Standard CAT5 cable can be used for this connection with short cable runs under 50 feet (15.24 m). For cable runs over 50 feet (15.24 m), AMX recommends using the Belden Brilliance VideoTwist 7987. This Belden cable is not CAT5 compliant, but is designed to control skew between the red, green, and blue video signals. Therefore, for longer cable runs, the video quality will be much higher using the Belden VideoTwist 7987 cable versus standard CAT5 (or other Ethernet compliant cables). The pinout of this RGB connector is given in the table below.

The Belden cable only adjusts for RGB skew but may still need to be configured properly for cable length by using the Cable Variance setting on the RGB Adjustment page (Video - RGB Settings Page section on page 131).
