Crestron C2N-FT-TPS4/TPS4-UFlipTop Control Center
FlipTop Touchpanel Control
Center: C2N-FT-TPS4/TPS4-U
Introduction
Features and Functions
The C2N-FT-TPS4 and C2N-FT-TPS4-U FlipTop Touchpanel control centers
(TPS4) comprise a touchpanel housed in a flip top mechanical enclosure. The only
difference between the units is that the TPS4-U (universal) does not contain an AC
power outlet. All references to TPS4 apply to both units unless specified otherwise.
The TPS4 touchpanel is a compact Crestron 3.6-inch touchpanel that provides user
interface to a Crestron® remote control system (Cresnet® system).
Functional Summary
• Stylish FlipTop housing
• Integrated 3.6 in (9.15 cm) active matrix color display
• 16-bit Isys graphics
• 320x240 screen resolution
• Synapse image rendering algorithm
• 10 translucent white backlit pushbuttons*
• WAV file audio feedback
• Easy pull-out universal cable management
• AC power outlet (C2N-FT-TPS4 only)
• Cresnet and Ethernet communications
• 8 MB of flash (approx. 7MB for user display lists)
• 16 MB of DRAM (Dynamic RAM) for panel firmware
* As an option, a custom-engraved bezel can be designed and obtained by using the Crestron
Engraver software. Version 2.4 and Crestron Database 17.4 or later are available from the
Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
The bright, 3.6" active-matrix color touchscreen provides a fully customizable user
interface for control of AV, lighting, screens, volume and more. With 16-bit Isys
FlipTop Touchpanel Control Center Crestron C2N-FT-TPS4/TPS4-U
graphics, the TPS4 produces astounding 3D graphics, dynamic text, and full-motion
animations complete with WAV file audio feedback. Ten programmable pushbuttons
are also included featuring translucent buttons with white LED backlighting and an
engravable faceplate.
The units support both Cresnet and Ethernet protocols for communication with oth er
devices as well as uploading programs and firmware.
An AC power passthrough is provided with the C2N-FT-TPS4 unit only. Both units
provide for extensive connectivity through an easy pull-out cable storage
mechanism. Eight grommeted holes are provided in the bottom plate, allowing for
smooth pass-thru of virtually any type of AV, communication, control, or data cable
(cables not included). When not in use, the user end of each cable stows neatly
within the FlipTop compartment while excess cable simply drops out-of-sight below
the box.
To prevent any inadvertent screen presses, the TPS4 disengages the touchpanel
whenever the lid is not fully opened. The TPS4 mounts flush to any tabletop,
concealing all cables and connectors, providing a clean professional appearance to
any conference room or classroom.
The TPS4 is available in four different models.
