For information on programming the TPMC-15/17 series, refer to the latest version
of the Crestron Isys i/O™ TPMC-15 & TPMC-17 Series Programming Guide (Doc.
6350) which can be downloaded from the Crestron website
(http://www.crestron.com/manuals).
The purpose of these touchpanels is to provide a complete presentation solution
integrating conventional AV control with embedded PC applications for browsing
the Internet and presenting a full range of multimedia content.
Sound & Video
The TPMC-15/17 feature a built-in, biamplified speaker system and a headphone
jack. Sound can be generated by the touchpanel using downloaded wave files
(.WAV), a PC application, or can be mixed in from an external line level audio
source (CH-L versions) or a QM input (QM-L versions only). The audio amplifiers
output 5 Watts to a biamplified 2-way speaker system (mono). Refer to the latest
version of the Crestron Isys i/O™ TPMC-15 & TPMC-17 Series Programming
Guide (Doc. 6350) for WAV file details.
CH-L versions amplify the built-in microphone to produce a line level differential
output. QM-L versions transmit the microphone output and PC audio for
transmission through the QM output.
The TPMC-15/17 can display up to two scaleable video windows, enabling the
simultaneous display of any two full motion video. QM-L versions can also send
RGB computer images to the video windows. Discrete video scalers are employed
with motion adaptive deinterlacing to bring out the highest detail by minimizing
visible scan lines and motion artifacts. Automatic source identification assigns the
optimum deinterlacing algorithm and applies 3:2 (NTSC) and 2:2 (PAL) reverse
pulldown based upon the input signal.

Physical Description
The touch sensitive viewing screen is located on the front of the touchpanel. The
TPMC-15’s 15-inch (38.1 cm) screen has a 4:3 aspect ratio while the TPMC-17’s
17-inch (43.2 cm) screen has a 15:9 widescreen aspect ratio. The electronic hardware
is housed in a metal enclosure with a molded plastic bezel that is available in a
variety of colors such as black with silver accent (as shown in the following
diagram) or white with gray accent. This touchpanel is designed for placement in a
wall or lectern. A voltage monitor with two LEDs on the rear of the touchpanel
monitors the incoming voltage level that is supplied to the touchpanel from the
TPMC-L-IMC. All audio, RS-232, audio/video, network, and power connections are
made at the bottom of the touchpanel. A grille located below the display conceals
two speakers and the microphone is located at the top of the touchscreen.
Five pushbuttons are located beneath the display. The leftmost button is recessed and
is a hard reset used to reboot the touchpanel. Four of the buttons are programmable.

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 should not exceed 328 feet.
QM Input #2 does not have adjustable delay skew compensation. QM Input #2 is

TPMC-CH-IMC Interface Module (CH-L Versions Only)
For networks without CAT5 audio and video, the TPMC-CH-IMC is available to
convert unbalanced video sent over coax cable and balanced/unbalanced audio sent
over shielded, twisted-pair wiring to Crestron Certified Wire for connection to the
TPMC-15-CH-L or TPMC-17-CH-L touchpanels.
NOTE: When using a TPMC-CH-IMC to provide video and audio to the
touchpanel, any source that is to use the second input will only be able to send video
to the touchpanel as the audio port will be connected to the audio output of the
TPMC-CH-IMC. To maximize the usability of the touchpanel’s A/V ports, Crestron
recommends connecting the touchpanel’s video inputs to the CAT5 outputs of a
CNX-PVID8x4 (or similar device) and the audio port to a CAT5 port of a
CNX-BIPAD8 (or similar device). Contact Crestron’s True Blue Support for a
solution that is specific to your system.

QM-TX QuickMedia Transmitter (QM-L Versions Only)
To connect an RGB, video, or audio source to a QuickMedia network without a
locally available QM transmitter (such as the QM-WMC), the QM-TX QuickMedia
Transmitter can be used to connect a source to a device with a QM input.
The QM-TX accepts composite video, S-video, component video, RGBHV, and
audio signals. These signals are converted to the QuickMedia standard and fed over
Crestron Certified Wire to a QM receiver (such as the TPMC-15/17-QM-L). All
signal routing occurs automatically under the command of the control system.
For more information, refer to the latest version of the QuickMedia Transmitter:

Setup
Network Wiring
While the TPMC-15/17 does not require network power to operate, the following
guidelines should still be observed.
CAUTION: In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your
installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire, and only Crestron Certified Wire, may
be used. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to
identify performance deficiencies as a result of using improper wire.
CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to
do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.
CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. 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
(http://www.crestron.com/calculators).
When calculating the length of wire for a particular Cresnet run, the wire gauge and
the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be connected must be taken into
consideration. Use Crestron Certified Wire only. If Cresnet units are to be daisychained on the run, the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be daisychained must be added together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire
chain. If the unit is a home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port,
the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The
wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be used in the following
equation to calculate the cable length value on the equation’s left side.
Cable Length Equation
40,000
Where:
L <
R x P
Make sure the cable length value is less than the value calculated on the right side of
the equation. For example, a Cresnet run drawing 20 watts should not have a length
of run more than 333 feet.
NOTE: All Crestron certified Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One
twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor, and the other twisted
pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor.
NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to
avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on
the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends
of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle.
Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining
screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.
L = Length of run (or chain) in feet.
R = 6 Ohms (Crestron Certified Wire: 18 AWG (0.75 MM
P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain).
2
))
NOTE: For larger networks (i.e., freater than 28 network devices), it may become
necessary to add a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality
throughout the network. Also, for networks with lengthy cable runs, it may be
necessary to add a Hub/Repeater after only 20 devices.
