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 2.5 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.

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

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.

Any new internal card upgrade is detected by the panel only after power is cycled.
Step 3: Closing and Securing the NXT Enclosure
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.
