QM Input #1 provides adjustable delay skew compensation for optimizing
video signals. The compensation corrects color separation problems that can
occur when CAT5 cables have variations in the pair lengths. The twisting of
the cable pairs inside the cable sheath causes this variation in length. To
ensure sufficient bandwidth to support signal resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 @
60 Hz, the maximum aggregate cable length (total length from transmitter to
receiver) should not exceed 328 feet.
QM Input #2 does not have adjustable delay skew compensation. QM Input
#2 is capable of the following signals, resolutions, and cable lengths:

Crestron Quick Guide to Touchpanel Connections
QuickMedia Installation Notes
The QuickMedia transport mechanism performs delay compensation on each
video input to compensate for signal skew, and frequency/bandwidth
compensation for cable length. Signal skew occurs when part of the signal is
delayed with respect to other signal components. The amount of skew largely
depends on the length and design of the wire. Because CAT5 consists of
twisted pairs that are twisted together in the cable, unequal wire lengths are
created.
The maximum aggregate cable length from QM transmitter to QM receiver is
limited by the loss of bandwidth over long distances and the amount of
available skew compensation. A cable rated at 15 ns of skew per 100 meters
(328 ft.) means that a cable will have no more than a 15 ns difference
between the fastest and slowest RGB signals over 100 meters of cable.
To determine the allowable maximum length of inst alled cable, the installer
must first perform a calculation based on the skew rating of the cable. The
use of low-resolution signals may allow increased cable length but must be
tested with the sources to be used. To ensure sufficient bandwidth to support
signal resolutions up to 1600 x 1200, the maximum aggregate cable length
should not exceed 328 feet.
Skew compensation is primarily relevant to RGB sources; however, any/all
video or VGA signals may experience a loss of quality over very long lengths
of cable. This phenomenon is due to the added resistance and capacitance of
longer cable lengths, and is not particular to either Crest ron and/or
QuickMedia systems.
The total accumulated skew from QM transmitter to QM receiver must not
exceed 15 ns (nanoseconds). Crestron recommends a cable with a rating of
less than or equal to 15 ns over its entire length. For example, if using a cable
with a rating of 15 ns/100 meters (100 meters = 328 feet), connecting the
QM-FTCC transmitter with 150 feet of cable to a QM-MD7x2 switcher, and
then using another 150 feet to connect the QM-RMCRX-BA receiver, the
accumulated skew over the entire 300 feet should not exceed 15 ns.

Hardware Connections for the TPS-2000L (Back of the Unit is Shown)
The 8-pin connector on the unit provides balanced/unbalanced audio and
video (supporting both NTSC/PAL formats). Refer to the pinout after this
paragraph for details.
The left most columns provide a signal name for each pin. For a balanced
audio/video system refer to the BALANCED AUDIO & VIDEO column centered
in the table. Balanced video format is typically used when distributing video
via CAT 5 (i.e., from a Crestron CNX-PVID8x3 or 8x4).
To obtain unbalanced audio or video, attach jumpers to designated pins and
make connections as described in the three right-most columns. Unbalanced
video format is typically used when distributing video via coaxial cable.

Mixed systems (i.e., balanced audio with unbalanced video and unbalanced
audio with balanced video) are permitted; only make those connections that
are necessary.
NOTE: Distribution of balanced video should not exceed 500 feet (152.4 meters) and the
distribution for unbalanced video should not exceed 100 feet (30.5 meters). For distances
greater than these specified lengths use a distribution amplifier.

NTSC/PAL VIDEO
The NTSC/PAL video input consists of three connectors; two BNC connectors
for unbalanced video signals and one 6-pin mini-connector for twisted pair
wiring of balanced video signals.
The video signal is connected to these
ports and requires a TPS-3000 or
installation of the TPS-VID-1 or TPS-VID2 video card in a TPS-5000 or TPS-6000
touchpanel to display video.
Consult the latest revision of the TPS-3000 Operations Guide (Doc. 6076) or
TPS-VID-1/2 Operations & Installation Guide (Doc. 6059) for details. Use
either the two BNC connectors or the six-pin connector for twisted pair wiring
when connecting a video source.
NOTE: The TPS-IMPC allows the use of either balanced or unbalanced signals for video
input. To select the signal type to be used, the DIP switches located next to the MIC port
must be set in the correct position.
BAL/COAX DIP Switches
These DIP switches are used to select which video connections (balanced or
unbalanced) to use when receiving video signals.
When used with a TPS-VID-2, each composite video signal can come in on
either the twisted pair (balanced) or coaxial (unbalanced) connector.
When used with a TPS-VID-1, the video signal (S-video or composite) can be
received over the twisted pair (balanced) or coaxial (unbalanced) connectors.
As long as a switch is in the appropriate position, a signal can be connected to
either the BNC or twisted-pair connector.
To select the twisted pair connector for balanced video, the DIP
switch for the respective video source must be in the “UP”
position.
To use the coaxial connector(s) for unbalanced video, the DIP
switch must be in the “DOWN” position.

Cresnet Touchpanel Power Q&A
Q.
We prefer to place Cresnet power supplies in our “Head End” equipment rack
for large residential systems. It has come to our attention that many of the
newer touchpanels draw considerably more Cresnet power then their
predecessors. (For instance, the TPS-15G-QM draws 75 watts of Cresnet
power.)
Considering power loss (due to resistance) in cable, and the 75 Watt
maximum output of Crestron power supplies, it appears that the maximum
distance between a power supply and a newer touchpanels will be much less
than previous.
1. Why does the TPMC-15/17 (CH/QM) come with its own 12.5 Volt
power supply, instead of using Cresnet power?
2. Is there any possibility of producing a larger power supply to deal with
the incresed Cresnet power consumption?
3. Does Crestron have any recommendations or guidelines regarding
power delivery over Cresnet (and other) cable?
A.
1. The higher resolution, brightness, and added capabilities of the new
Crestron touchpanels have come at a price. More power is needed to
drive these devices. This is especially true for the wired “TPMC”
panels. Their embedded computer capabilities draw a great deal of
power. Their power draw makes it impractical to drive them with 24
Volt Cresnet power. A dedicated 12.5 Volt power supply was chosen
as the best way to supply power.
TPMC-15CH/QM-(L) and TPMC-17CH/QM-(L) panels are shipped with an
interface module called a TPMC-L-IMC. This interface is used to convert the
power from the panels power supply to two wires, allowing for ex tensions in
distance between the power supply and the panel. The following chart
illustrates cable-length limitations:
Recommended wire lengths between TPMC-L-IMC and TPMC touchpanel.
WIRE GAUGE SINGLE WIRE DOUBLE WIRE
14awg (2.5mm) 30ft 60ft
16awg (1.5mm) 20ft 40ft
2. The answer is “no”. The National Electrical Code prohibits running
more than 75 Watts of Cresnet power through low-voltage wiring.
Larger power supplies could present a fire hazard.
3. When “sizing up” an installation, pay attention to th e touchpanel sizes
and their distance from the main equipment rack. In many cases, it
may be best to locate a power supply local to the touchpanel. In
multi-story projects, utility closet locations should be not ed as a
possible site for Cresnet power supplies on that floor.
In some cases, it may make sense to use larger gauge wiring for Cresnet
power on long runs.

Use the following formula to determine the maximum length of wire that you
can use to send power from a dedicated 75 Watt power supply to a specific
touchpanel.
L < 40,000/(PF x R)
Where: “L”= length in feet, “PF”= Crestron ‘Power Factor’, “R”= Cable
“Resistance”
Refer to the following table for maximum cable lengths.
