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.

7" Widescreen Color Video Table Top Touch Panel Kit (without buttons) (includes both an NXT panel and an NXA-AVB/ETHERNET A/V Breakout Box).

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.

7" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels

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 2.5 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 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-WC80211B/CF internal wireless

interface card that allows the CV7 to communicate with a NetLinx Master via a standard

802.11b 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.

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).

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.

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.

7" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels

CV7 Touch Panel Accessories

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:

• X = Ground

• L = Live (Hot)

• R = Return (Cold)

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.

Installation of the Wireless Card (Table Top Panel)

These procedures involve removing the outer housing, installing the wireless card, and then securely replacing the outer housing back onto the NXT panel.

The CV7 panels do not come factory installed with the NXA-WC802.11B/CF wireless

interface card. This card must be ordered separately from AMX.

Step 1: Removing the NXT Outer Housing

1. Carefully detach all connectors from the rear of the touch panel.

Do not use Ethernet cables containing mounting boots. These boots could make removal of the Ethernet connectors (from the panel) difficult and cumbersome.

2. Gently place the touch panel LCD facedown onto a soft cloth to expose the under-side of the

base (FIG. 15) and prevent scratching of the LCD. 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.

1. In a single motion, gently slide the rear Tilt Bracket cover plate back over the tilt mechanism

(located below the LCD) and (while angling the housing downwards) slide the outer housing below the Tilt Bracket and towards the LCD (at a downward angle).

2. Locate the two screw holes at either sides of the front speaker grill.

3. Use a grounded Phillips-head screwdriver to both insert and secure the two Tilt Bracket Screws

(FIG. 16). This procedure resecures the rear Tilt Bracket cover plate (with the AMX logo and Hinge brackets).

4. Press the outer housing forwards until it is aligned over the outer housing installation holes.

Once installed and secured, the tilt bracket prevents any further movement (FIG. 17).

5. Gently press down on the housing (toward the base) until it is securely positioned over the

circuit board and base.

6. While holding the circuit board cover in place, turn the panel back over until the LCD lies

facedown on a soft cloth and the under-side of the base is exposed.

7. Insert and secure the four Housing Screws (using a grounded Phillips-head screwdriver) in

their respective locations, as shown in FIG. 15 on page 16.

8. Replace any adhesive plastic "feet" that might have been removed during the removal process

of the outer housing. These "feet" must be placed back onto their original locations so they can

fit into their provided openings on the Battery Base.

Pre-Wall Installation of the Conduit Box

Wall Mount panels (NXDs) are contained within an outer housing (back box). This back box is not removed when installing the NXD into a Conduit Box (CB-TP7). The back box is only removed to gain access for the replacement of the internal components.

INSTALLER: LEAVE A GAP BETWEEN THE STUD AND CONDUIT BOX MOUNTING TABS TO ACCOMMODATE THE DRYWALL or SHEETROCK.

This gap allows the installation of the drywall or sheetrock after the CB-TP7 Conduit Box has been installed.

The CB-TP7 is an optional metallic box that is secured onto a beam in a pre-wall setting (where no walls are present). Installation procedures and configurations can vary depending on the

installation environment. This section describes the installation procedures for the most common installation scenario. The most important thing to remember when mounting this conduit box is that the NXD-CV7 Mounting Tabs must lie flush against the outside of the sheetrock (FIG. 34).

 Refer to SP-2258-02 for detailed installation dimensions.

 It is recommended that you cut out the surface slightly smaller than what is outlined in

the installation drawings so that you can make any necessary cutout adjustments.

 The wiring knockouts on the left side will be used for the NXD-CV7 Wall Mount panel

connectors, so always secure the conduit box to the stud using the Stud Mounting Holes on the right side of the box.

1. Rest the right Stud Mounting tabs onto the stud (keeping the knockouts on the left). Be sure to

leave enough of a gap between the stud and NXD Mounting tabs to accommodate the

installation of the drywall or sheetrock after the conduit box has been mounted.

Ultimately, the Mounting Tabs should lie flush against the outside of the sheetrock.

2. Fasten the CB-TP7 conduit box to the stud through the holes on the right Stud Mounting tabs

(FIG. 34), using either nails or screws.

Wiring Guidelines for the CV7 Panels

CV7 panels require 12 VDC power from a PSN NetLinx Power Supply to operate properly. The panels connect to the power supply via a 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector.

These units should only have one source of incoming power. Using more than one source of power to the touch panel can result in damage to the internal components and a possible burn out. Apply power to the panels only after installation is complete.

Preparing captive wires

You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.

Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections.

1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of insulation off all wires.

2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector (according to the wiring

diagrams and connector types described in this section).

3. Tighten the screws to secure the wire in the connector. Do not tighten the screws excessively;

doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.

Using the PSN NetLinx connector for power

The PWR and GND cable from the NetLinx Power Supply (PSN4.4 or PSN6.5) must be connected to the corresponding location on the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector (FIG. 40).

NetLinx Master’s connection information

There are 2 possible Master Connection Types available: USB or Ethernet. A USB connection type is a direct connection from the panel’s mini-USB port to a corresponding USB port on the PC (acting as a Virtual Master). An Ethernet connection type involves indirect communication from the panel to a Master via an Ethernet connection to the network.

7" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels

Configuring Communication

It is recommended that firmware KIT files only be transferred over a direct connection and only when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery power or wireless connection fails during a firmware upgrade, the panel flash file system may become corrupted.

The mini-USB connector MUST be plugged into an already active panel before the PC can recognize the connection and assign an appropriate USB driver. This driver is part of both the NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 software application installations.

Configuring and Using USB with a Virtual Master

NetLinx Studio can be setup to run a Virtual Master where the PC acts as the Master by supplying its own IP Address for communication to the panel. The PC is first equipped with the USB driver, the panel is then configured for USB communication, and then Studio is configured to act as the Master.

For a personal computer to establish a connection to a Modero panel via USB, the target computer must have the appropriate AMX USB driver installed. This installation is bundled into the latest TPDesign4 (version 2.5 or higher) software setup process or can be downloaded independently from the main Application Files page on www.amx.com.

Step 1: Setup the Panel and PC for USB Communication

1. If you do not currently have the latest version of TPDesign4, navigate to www.amx.com >

Tech Center > Downloadable Files > Application Files > NetLinx Design Tools section of the website and locate the AMX USB Driver executable (AMX USBLAN Setup exe).

2. Download this executable file to a known location on your computer.

3. Launch the Setup.exe and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.

Step 2: Confirm the Installation of the USB Driver on the PC

The first time each AMX touch panel is connected to the PC it is detected as a new hardware device and the USBLAN driver becomes associated with it (panel specific). Each time thereafter the panel is "recognized" as a unique USBLAN device and the association to the driver is done in the background. When the panel is detected for the first time some user intervention is required during the association between panel and driver.

1. After the installation of the USB driver has been completed, confirm the proper installation of

the large Type-A USB connector to the PC's USB port, and restart your machine.

If the panel is already powered, continue with steps 3.

The panel MUST be powered and configured for USB communication before connecting the mini-USB connector to the panel’s Program Port.

2. Connect the terminal end of the PSN power cable to the 12 VDC power connector on the

rear/side of the panel and supply power.

3. After the CV7 panel powers-up, press and hold the grey Front Setup Access button

(for 3 seconds) to continue with the setup process and proceed to the Setup page.

4. Select Protected Setup > System Connection (located on the lower-left) to open the System

Connection page (FIG. 50).

Secondary Connection Page - Wireless Access Overview

IP Routing

The behavior of the wireless routing is largely dependent on the wired network interface. Although the panel can be connected to two networks simultaneously it may only have one gateway. If the wired network was successfully set up and a gateway was obtained; then the default route for all network traffic will be via the wired network. In the event that the wired network was not configured, then the default route for all network traffic will be via the wireless network. The wired network connection always takes priority.

As an example:

 Imagine a panel connected to two networks A & B. A is the wired network and B is the

wireless network. If the Master controller is on either of these networks then it will be reached. However if the Master controller is on a different network, C, then determining which network interface (wired or wireless) that will be used is dependent on the gateway.

Hot Swapping

Hot swapping is not an issue on these panels as the card is installed within the unit and cannot be removed without first removing the housing.

In the case of DHCP, there must be a DHCP server accessible before the fields are populated.

If the SSID (Network Name) and WEP fields have not previously been configured, the Secondary Connection page will not work until the panel is rebooted.

Ethernet Communication from the panel can be direct (using an Ethernet cable) or indirect (through the NXA-WC80211B/CF AMX Wireless Card communicating to a Wireless Access Point (WAP) such as the NXA-WAP200G). In determining the Ethernet method of communication, the panel will always default first to the direct Ethernet communication. If no direct connection is detected, the panel will first check to see if there is an installed wireless interface card and then communicate to the WAP using the Wireless Settings assigned within the Secondary Connection page. The WAP

7" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels

Configuring Communication

communication parameters must match those of the pre-installed wireless interface card installed within the panel. The CV7 touch panels allow users to connect to a wireless network through their use of the optional AMX 802.11b wireless interface card. This internal card transmits data using the 802.11b signals at 2.4 GHz. Before beginning, there are several concepts that should be explained:

 Wireless Access Points are the cornerstone of any wireless network. A Wireless Access

 802.11b/2.4 GHz vs. 802.11a/5 GHz are the two major WLAN standards and both

Point acts as a bridge between a wired and wireless network. It aggregates the traffic from all the wireless clients and forwards it down the network to the switch or router. One Wireless Access Point may be all you need. However, you could need more Wireless Access Points depending on either how large your installation is, how it is laid out, and how it is constructed.

operate using radio frequency (RF) technology. Together the two standards are together called Wi-Fi and operate in frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz respectively. The 802.11b specification was the first to be finalized and reach the marketplace and at this time is the only specification supported by the Modero line of products. The actual throughput you can expect to obtain from an 802.11b network will typically be between 4 and 5 Mbps. When indoors, 802.11b signals can travel as far as 150 meters (492 feet). The outdoor

802.11b range is over three times greater; 500 meters (1640 feet, or nearly 1/3 of a mile). At either of these extreme ranges, the bandwidth available is at least 1Mbps. To operate in its maximum bandwidth mode of 11 Mbps, the distance indoors can be no more than 50 meters (164 feet); outdoors it should be 250 meters (820 feet). Because of the higher frequency (and thus shorter wavelength) that they use, 802.11a signals have a much tougher time penetrating solid objects like walls, floors, and ceilings. As a result, the price for 802.11a's higher speed is not only shorter in range but also a weaker and less consistent signal.

 Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Security is a method by which WLANs protect

wireless data streams. A data stream encrypted with WEP can still be intercepted or eavesdropped upon, but the encryption makes the data unintelligible to the interloper. The strength of WEP is measured by the length of the key used to encrypt the data. The longer the key, the harder it is to crack.

802.11b implementations provided 40-bit and 104-bit WEP keys. This is known respectively as 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption. 64-bit is generally not regarded as adequate security protection. Both key lengths are supported by the Modero product line. Whichever level of WEP you use, it's crucial to use identical settings (CASE SENSITIVE)--the key length, and the key itself-- on all devices. Only devices with common WEP settings will be able to communicate. Similarly, if one device has WEP enabled and another doesn't, they won't be able to talk to each other. Although the calculations required to encrypt data with WEP can impact the performance of your wireless network, it's generally seen only when running benchmarks, and not large enough to be noticeable in the course of normal network usage.

Configuring Communication

Configuring a Wireless Network Access

When working with a wireless card, the first step is to configure wireless communication parameters within the Secondary Connection page. This page only configures the card to communicate to a target WAP (such as the NXA-WAP200G), it is still necessary to tell the panel which Master it should be communicating with. This "pointing to a Master" is done via the System Connection page where you configure the IP Address, System Number and Username/Password information assigned to the target Master.

Step 1: Configure the Panel’s Wireless IP Settings

The first step to successfully setting up your wireless card is to configure the IP Settings section on the Secondary Connection page. The section configures the communication parameters from the Modero panel to the web.

Configuring the Modero’s wireless card for secured access to a WAP200G

After logging into the WAP200G, the default Status page appears within the web browser. These read-only values are "pulled" from some of the other user-configurable Configuration Utility pages. By default, wireless Modero panels are configured for unsecured communication to a Wireless Access Point. To properly setup both the WAP200G and panel for secure communication, you must first prepare the Modero panel and then use the information provided to fill out the fields within the WAP’s browser-based Basic Wireless Configuration page.

Since the code key generator on Modero panels use the same key generation formula, all panels will generate identical keys for the same Passphrase. The generators used on WAPs will not produce the same key as the Modero generator even if you use the same Passphrase. This is why

we recommend creating the Current Key FIRST on the Modero and then entering that information into the appropriate WAP200G fields.

1. Power-down the Modero unit and follow the wireless card installation procedures outlined in

the Installation of the Wireless Card (Table Top Panel) section on page 15.

Step 2: Choose a Master Connection Mode Setting

There are three Ethernet MODE settings used in the Master Connection section of the System Connection page. URL is the most common method.

 Master Connection MODE options:

Step 3: Configure an Ethernet Connection Type

• URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address that defines the route to a file on the Web or any other Internet facility. In this system, the panel acts as a "Client" and the Master acts as a Server (in that Clients attach to it).

• LISTEN sets the Modero panel to "listen" for broadcasts from the Master (using the panel IP from its URL list). In this system, the panel acts as a "Server" (in that Clients attach to it) and the Master acts as a "Client".

• AUTO is used to instruct the Modero to search for a Master that uses the same System Number (assigned within the Master Connection section) and resides on the same Subnet as itself. In this case, the Master has its UDP feature enabled. This UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required. This UDP enabling is done through a Telnet session on the Master. Refer to the particular NetLinx Master manual for more detailed information.

When using Ethernet as your communication method, the NetLinx Master must first be setup with either a Static IP or DHCP Address obtained from either NetLinx Studio or your System Administrator.

Before beginning:

1. Verify the panel has been configured to communicate either through an Ethernet cable

(connected from either the panel to a valid Ethernet Hub) or to a wirelessly to the Wireless Access Point (WAP).

Before commencing, verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master firmware.

2. Verify that the NetLinx Master is receiving power and is communicating via an Ethernet

connection with the PC running NetLinx Studio.

Upgrading Modero Firmware

Before beginning the Upgrade process:

 Setup and configure your NetLinx Master. Refer to the your particular NetLinx Master

Instruction Manual for detailed setup procedures.

 Calibrate and prepare the communication pages on the Modero panel for use. Refer to the

Panel Calibration section on page 45.

 Refer to the NetLinx Studio version 2.3 or higher Help file for more information on

uploading files via Ethernet.

 Configure your panel for either direct connect or wireless communication. Refer to the

Configuring Communication section on page 47 for more information.

It is recommended that firmware KIT files only be transferred over a direct Ethernet connection and only when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery power or wireless connection fails during a firmware upgrade, the panel flash file system may become corrupted.

Upgrading Modero Firmware

The process of updating firmware involves the use of a communicating NetLinx Master. The required steps for updating firmware to a Modero panel are virtually identical to those necessary for updating KIT files to a NetLinx Master (except the target device is a panel instead of a Master). Refer to either your Master’s literature or Studio 2.3 Help file for those procedures.

A touch panel which is not using a valid username and password will not be able to communicate with a secured Master. If you are updating the firmware on or through a panel which is not using a username or password field, you must first remove the Master Security feature to establish an unsecured connection.

Upgrading the Modero Firmware via the USB port

Before beginning with this section, verify your panel is both powered and the Type-A USB connector is securely inserted into the PC’s USB port. The panel must be powered-on before

connecting the mini-USB connector to the panel.

Establishing a USB connection between the PC and the panel, prior to installing the latest NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 applications will cause a failure in the USB driver installation. This driver must first be saved to the PC as part of the new NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 application installations.

Step 1: Configure the panel for a USB Connection Type

1. After the installation of the USB driver has been completed; confirm the proper installation of

the large Type-A USB connector to the PC's USB port, and restart your machine.

2. After the CV7 panel powers-up, press and hold the grey Front Setup Access button

(for 3 seconds) to continue with the setup process and proceed to the Setup page.
