providing dynamic navigation control objects for scrolling effortlessly through large
menus. Full motion animations, multimode objects, PNG translucency, transition
effects and streaming video enhance the palette for creating GUIs that are both eye
catching and easy to use.
White Backlit Buttons
The TPMC-4SMD comes standard with 10 programmable “hard key” push buttons
for quick access to commonly used functions. Individual white LEDs behind each
translucent button afford discrete feedback capability for clear status indication of
each button function. The LEDs may also be set to provide dimmable backlighting of
the buttons, with independent control over the left and right columns, for a custom
appearance and enhanced visibility.
Customized labeling of the covers surrounding the push buttons can be attained
simply using Crestron Engraver software. For a clean appearance, either column of
buttons may be removed and covered using the no-button covers provided.
Proximity Sensor
The TPMC-4SMD senses as you approach it, waking its display automatically
without having to touch the screen so it is always ready for use.
Streaming Video
An onboard streaming video player makes it possible to monitor a security camera or
preview a DVD or television channel, right on the touchscreen display. Native
support for the motion JPEG streaming format allows the TPMC-4SMD to display
live video from a variety of Web cameras and servers including the Crestron
CEN-NVS100 Network Video Streamer (sold separately).

Crestron TPMC-4SMD Isys™ 4.3” Wall Mount Designer Touchpanel
IP Intercom
Built-in IP intercom capability facilitates direct panel to panel intercom and
monitoring right over the LAN without requiring any additional AV wiring. The
TPMC-4SMD features an integrated microphone and speaker for clear speech
communication.
Audio Feedback
Customized WAV files can be loaded on the TPMC-4SMD to add dimension to its
touchscreen graphics using personalized sounds, button feedback and voice prompts.
Single Wire Connectivity
A simple Ethernet LAN connection is all that is required to wire the TPMC-4SMD,
enabling seamless communication with Crestron control systems, computers, video
servers and other touchpanels.
Power over Ethernet
The TPMC-4SMD gets its power right through the LAN wiring using 802.3af PoE
(Power over Ethernet) technology. PoE eliminates the need for a local power supply
or any dedicated power wiring. A PoE Injector (PWE-4803RU, sold separately)
simply connects inline with the LAN cable, allowing for installation at any
convenient location. For applications with multiple TPMC-4SMDs or other PoE
powered devices, a Crestron 5-port PoE switch (CEN-SW-POE-5, sold separately)
may be used, allowing up to four devices to be powered from a single location.
Occupancy Sensing
Crestron GLS series room occupancy sensors can be connected directly to the
TPMC-4SMD to allow automation of the room’s lighting, climate control and other
devices.
Simple, Versatile Mounting
The TPMC-4SMD installs easily on virtually any mounting surface. As standard, it
mounts directly to a single-gang electrical box (horizontally oriented) or European
electrical box, requiring just 1/2 inch (13 mm) mounting depth while protruding less
than 3/4 inch (19 mm) from the wall surface. For impenetrable surfaces, such as
decorative glass, granite, marble, plaster, smooth stone and masonry, Crestron offers
the MSMK-4SM Multi-Surface Mount Kit (sold separately), providing a very
versatile mounting solution complete with a low profile rear shell enclosure,
adhesive mounting plate, optional angle bracket and wire raceway. The TTK-4SM
Table Top Kit (sold separately) converts the TPMC-4SMD into a stylish, compact
tabletop touchpanel, perfect for free standing use or permanently mounted on a
tabletop or counter surface.

Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the Ethernet network, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.
CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage
to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate
how much power is needed for the system (www.crestron.com/calculators
Unlike other Crestron network devices, the TPMC-4SMD does not use Cresnet for
communications between the device and the control system. The TPMC-4SMD
requires the use of a high-speed Ethernet connection for control system
communications.
).
For information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to the
latest version of the Crestron e-Control

Recommended Cleaning
Keep the surface of the touchscreen free of dirt, dust or other materials that could
degrade optical properties. Long-term contact with abrasive materials can scratch the
surface, which may detrimentally affect image quality.
For best cleaning results, use a clean, damp, non-abrasive cloth with any
commercially available non-ammonia glass cleaner. Bezels may not provide a
complete watertight seal. Therefore, apply cleaning solution to the cloth rather than
the surface of the touchscreen. Wipe touchscreen clean and avoid getting moisture
beneath the bezels.
CAUTION: Do not apply excessive pressure to the touchscreen display during
handling. Doing so can crack the screen and damage the touchpanel.

Earliest Version Software Requirements for the PC
NOTE: Crestron recommends that you use the latest software to take advantage of
the most recently released features. The latest software is available from the Crestron
Web site.
Crestron has developed an assortment of Windows-based software tools to develop
a controlled system. For the minimum recommended software versions, visit the
Version Tracker page of the Crestron Web site (www.crestron.com/versiontracker
).
Configuration Manager
Programming with Crestron SystemBuilder
Crestron SystemBuilder is the easiest method of programming but does not offer as
much flexibility as SIMPL Windows. For additional details, download
SystemBuilder from the Crestron Web site and examine the extensive help file.
Programming with SIMPL Windows
NOTE: While SIMPL Windows can be used to program the TPMC-4SMD, it is
recommended to use SystemBuilder for configuring a system.
SIMPL Windows is Crestron’s premier software for programming Crestron control
systems. It is organized into two separate but equally important “Managers”.
Configuration Manager is the view where programmers “build” a Crestron control
system by selecting hardware from the Device Library.
1. To incorporate the TPMC-4SMD into the system, drag the TPMC-4SMD
from the Touchpanels | Touchpanels (Ethernet) folder of the Device Library
and drop it in the System Views.

Program Manager
Multi-mode objects offer high-
erformance programming!
Program Manager is the view where programmers “program” a Crestron control
system by assigning signals to symbols.
The symbol can be viewed by double clicking on the icon or dragging it into Detail
View. Each signal in the symbol is described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1).
Programming with VisionTools Pro-e
Touchpanel screens should be created in VisionTools® Pro-e (VT Pro-e) to allow
accessing the embedded applications, switching of source signals to desired outputs
as well as selection of the system mode. There are no special programming
requirements to use the functions of the TPMC-4SMD in a room control system.
“Accessing the embedded applications,” should be included only for i/O devices.
Multi-Mode Objects
The single most advanced VT Pro-e high performance programming technique
involving the TPMC-4SMD is the concept of multi-mode objects. A multi-mode
object (i.e. button, legend, etc.) is an object drawn on a VT Pro-e page that can have
one or more active and inactive visible settings (modes).
For examples, refer to www.crestron.com/exampleprograms
multi-mode object examples. This file contains the VT Pro-e touchpanel files and
SIMPL Windows files that illustrate the high-performance capabilities of multi-mode
objects.
WAV File Audio Messages
and search for
The TPMC-4SMD touchpanels are capable of playing audio messages as system
prompts and responses. These files are recorded as WAV files on a PC using an
audio utility such as Sound Recorder that is packaged with Microsoft Windows
95/98/Me/XP/NT/2000/Vista/7™. Files from other sources may also be converted to
an acceptable format by using this or a similar utility. Many other audio utilities are
available commercially or as shareware. The TPMC-4SMD touchpanels only accept
the following WAV file formats: PCM, 8 and 16 bit, 8 – 44.1kHz, mono and
30 • 4.3” Isys™Wall Mount Designer Touchpanel: TPMC-4SMD Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 7027A
Crestron TPMC-4SMD Isys™ 4.3” Wall Mount Designer Touchpanel
stereo. For more information about how to use Sound Recorder, refer to its User’s
Guide and extensive help information provided with the software. Also refer to the
help file in VT Pro-e to learn how to use its audio tool, Sound Manager, to attach
WAV files to a touchpanel project.
Pre-recorded WAV files for voice prompts and responses are available from
Crestron. These files can be stored into and programmed for use in the touchpanel
directly or may be edited with the Sound Recorder. For example, the individual files
can be combined to create custom messages.
NOTE: Touchpanel WAV files can be obtained from the Wave LC Library of the
Crestron FTP site.
Bit Depth and File Size
A balance of performance and quality can be achieved by using VT Pro-e to
configure the size of graphics in a project. Read this section to learn about bit depth
and how to maximize the quality and performance of a TPMC-4SMD project.
Bit depth refers to the number of memory bits used to store color data for each pixel
in a raster image. A touchpanel raster image consists of a rectangular grid of picture
elements (pixels). Each pixel uses the same amount of memory to store its color data.
The amount of memory is called the bit depth of the image.
Greater bit depths are required to represent finer gradations of color. Increasing bit
depth necessarily increases file size. A black and white drawing requires only one bit
per pixel to store all the available color information. Using a 32-bit per pixel bit
depth for a black and white image increases the file size 32 times without adding
anything to the black and white image quality.
In an 8-bit per pixel system, the associated 8-bits of video memory for every screen
pixel contain a value referring to a location in an 8-bit color table. In this way any
one of the specific 256 color table locations is assigned to a pixel.
A 16-bit highcolor system is considered sufficient to provide life-like colors. It is
encoded using 5-bits to represent red, 5-bits to represent blue and (since the human
eye is more sensitive to the color green) 6-bits to represent 64 levels of green. These
can therefore be combined to provide 65,536 mixed colors (32 x 32 x 64 = 65,536).
In a 24-bit graphics display, the video memory allocates 24 bits for each pixel on the
screen enabling each pixel to take on any one of a possible 16.7 million colors. Each
24-bit value is composed of 8-bits for red, 8-bits for green and 8-bits for blue. These
triplets of 8-bit values are also referred to as the red, green and blue color planes. A
24-bit image is actually composed of three component images which combine to
create the truecolor picture. The reason this is called truecolor is that this is near the
maximum number of colors the human eye is able to detect.
Truecolor images are sometimes represented by a 32-bit value. The extra 8-bits do
not enhance the precision of the color representation but act as an alpha channel that
represents pixel translucence. 32-bit truecolor has become popular on the computer
desktop to provide effects such as translucent windows, fading menus and shadows.
In graphics intensive applications such as touchpanels, raising or lowering the color
depth of the displayed graphics can achieve a balance of performance and quality.
Lower color depths do not require as much frame buffer memory or display
bandwidth, allowing them to be generated and displayed more quickly. Increasing
color depth results in higher color quality at the expense of display speed and
responsiveness. By using mostly 8-bit or 16-bit graphics and holding 32-bit graphics
to a minimum (e.g. for a family photo, etc.), you can create a sophisticated project
Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 7027A Isys™ 4.3” Wall Mount Designer Touchpanel: TPMC-4SMD • 31

that will fit in the memory space provided and have the touchpanel remain very
responsive.
Relationship of Bits to Colors
NUMBER OF BITS NUMBER OF COLORS
1 bit Black and White
2 bits 4 Colors
4 bits 16 Colors
8 bits 256 Colors
16 bits 65,536 Colors (Highcolor)
24 bits 16.7 million Colors (Truecolor)
32 bits 16.7 million Colors plus Transparency
When creating a VT Pro-e project you can elect to compress and reduce the image
size in the “Page Properties” window for the entire page and/or perform the same
function of reducing the image size using the “Image Properties” window. A
reduction in image size will save a considerable amount of memory space for your
project.
In VT Pro-e, the Compress checkbox permits the image to be compressed when
compiling. The 16 Bits checkbox converts a 24-bit or 32-bit image to 16 bits. This
conversion to a 16-bit image may cause the loss of some subtle shading. To
compensate for this, use the dithering to simulate the original shading. Check your
image with each of the available dithering types to determine which will deliver the
best quality image.
Dithering type selection can be accessed from the “Page Properties” or “Image
Properties” windows in VT-Pro-e. Refer to the following illustrations.

MultiByte International Characters
Most languages use a single byte of eight bits to represent a character, e.g. English,
French, German, Hebrew, Russian, Thai, etc.
Multibyte character fonts require more than the usual eight bits to specify a
character. This occurs when a language has more than 256 characters (2
For example, Chinese fonts contain several thousand characters. Other multibyte
languages include Japanese and Korean.
There are two separate applications with multibyte characters – static text on buttons
and indirect text on buttons. No touchpanel firmware changes are required in either
case.
Indirect text on a button is entered in VT Pro-e and the actual string to be displayed
is entered in SIMPL Windows. As of this publication date only completely single
byte or completely multibyte strings may be entered or they will not be compiled
correctly in SIMPL Windows. In other words, you cannot enter Chinese characters
interspersed with numbers. You can enter Chinese characters or numbers in separate
strings or you can pad each number with “\x00” to make it multibyte and then
combine it with Chinese characters in the same string.
Of course you can always use the workaround of showing a graphic that displays the
string but it is not dynamic. To compile and use multibyte characters it is essential
that the operating system understand the language. Windows XP, Vista and 7 are
available in many international languages and add-on software is available for other
versions of Windows.

Uploading and Upgrading
Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each device
contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features.
However, before attempting to upload or upgrade it is necessary to establish
communication. Once communication has been established, files (for example,
programs, projects or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (and/or
device). Finally, program checks can be performed (such as changing the device ID
or creating an IP table) to ensure proper functioning.
Establishing Communication
Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the TPMC-4SMD; refer to the
Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There is a single method of communication:
