Crestron Isys i/O™ TPMC-15/17-L Series Touchpanel Media Centers

Isys®

Isys power and beauty are infused throughout Crestron’s entire touchpanel lineup. Under the hood, the TPMC-15/17-L offers vibrant 24-bit color depth with 8-bit alpha channel transparency to produce incredible 3D graphics using new dynamic menu objects, dynamic graphics, full motion animations, multi-mode objects, PNG translucence and exclusive Synapse™ image rendering - all with astonishing speed.

Synapse™

Crestron’s exclusive Synapse Image Rendering Algorithm enables system programmers to produce amazing graphics – faster and easier. Advanced antialiasing delivers crisper, sharper objects and text. Enhanced 3D effects add new depth and style. And because Synapse is native to the touchpanel, memory requirements and upload time are substantially reduced.

Enhanced Touchpanel Control and Presentation

More than a touchpanel, the TPMC-15/17-L is also a dynamic resource for managing routine online tasks and enjoying streaming music and video and a high-resolution video monitor with performance rivaling the best LCD flat panel displays available.

The QM version also provides a dynamic presentation source, delivering highresolution video and audio to any size audience via integrated QuickMedia transport technology.

Embedded PC

The power of Isys i/O™ is in its embedded PC engine, combining rock solid touchpanel performance with enhanced capabilities for surfing the Internet, streaming multimedia and desktop videoconferencing. Running the Microsoft Windows XP Embedded operating system, Isys i/O delivers a reliable and secure platform for touchpanel control with integrated PC functionality. Programmatic control erases the lines between control system and PC, allowing programmers to customize each application’s behavior within the touchpanel environment to create a truly powerful and user friendly interface.

With built-in Windows Media viewers for Word, Excel, PowerPoint provides everything needed for viewing Web pages, enjoying online music and movies and downloading documents without necessitating a separate computer. (The QM version also serves as a multimedia presentation source.) You can also access data and run applications on other computers over the network or Internet via Remote Desktop or use new VNC Viewer support for enhanced cross platform interaction with remote computers, allowing full control of desktop applications with live presentation capability. Onboard NetMeeting® and Skype™ VoIP applications enable duplex telephone and interactive conferencing right on the touchpanel.

screen, highlighting points on a spreadsheet or making notes over motion video or still images, MediaMarker facilitates crystal clear visual communications.

NOTE: The TPMC-15/17-CH-L does not have video output capability. Therefore, annotation cannot be presented to an audience.

Dual Window HD Video1 and RGB2

In addition to its internal PC and streaming video applications, the TPMC-15/17-L can also simultaneously display two fully scalable, full-motion windows. Each window supports standard video, HDTV and high-resolution RGB (RGB on QM versions only) signals from external AV and computer sources. Discrete video scalers with motion adaptive deinterlacing bring out the finest detail, minimizing visible scan lines and motion artifacts for a truly remarkable picture. Advanced gamma correction and built-in time base correction ensure accurate color reproduction and a jitter-free image.

1. Additional CAT5 balanced AV equipment is required to facilitate the input of more than one external video signal.

2. One or more QuickMedia devices are required to facilitate the input and output of audio, video and

RGB signals.

High Quality Audio

An integrated microphone, biamplified speakers, stereo headphone output and PC audio output are all built into the touchpanel to support full AV, intercom, desktop conferencing and multimedia computer capabilities. Customized WAV files can be loaded on the touchpanel to add dimension to the touchscreen graphics with personalized sounds, button feedback and voice prompts.

Crestron Home® CAT5 AV (CH version only)

All audio and video connections are facilitated using inexpensive CAT5 wire, enabling direct connection to Crestron’s popular CAT5 balanced audio and video distribution switchers. Two video input ports are provided, each supporting composite, S-video and HDTV/component formats over wiring distances of up to 500 feet. A bidirectional audio port receives stereo program audio and intercom signals and outputs audio from the internal microphone and PC for intercom and whole-house audio distribution. An interface module is included to enable direct connection to conventional video and audio devices.

QuickMedia™ (QM version only)

All audio and video connections are facilitated using Crestron’s revolutionary QuickMedia transport, providing a flexible yet remarkably simple wiring solution. Through QuickMedia (QM), the TPMC-15/17-L interfaces directly with other QM-based products using inexpensive CAT5e type cable.

The two QM input ports each support non-interlaced RGB up to 1600 x 1200 pixels, as well as composite, S-video and component video signals. QM input #1 includes software adjustable compensation for cable runs up to 450 feet; input #2 supports up to 300 feet for video and HDTV and shorter distances for RGB computer signals. Both QM inputs receive audio signals from external microphone and stereo line level sources.

High-resolution RGB graphics and 24-bit digital audio are output from the internal PC and microphone via the QM output port for audience presentation and intercom purposes.

Setup

Network Wiring

When wiring the 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

• For larger networks, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality.

For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” on page 78.

Ethernet

The TPMC-15/17-L also uses high-speed Ethernet for communications between the device and a control system, computer, digital media server and other IP-based devices.

For information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to the latest version of the Crestron e-Control



Reference Guide (Doc. 6052).

CAT5 Wiring (CH versions only)

Category 5 (CAT5) wiring is a twisted pair cable designed for Ethernet networks. These networks operate at speeds of up to 100 Megabits per second (Mbps) using the 100BaseT standard. Crestron takes advantage of this specification for a variety of audio and video applications.

Crestron recommends using CresCAT-IM (or D) wire for transmitting video signals from the CH port.

When using a Creston wiring solution, the CresCAT-IM (or D) wire can carry audio and video signals up to 500 feet (observe distance limitations based upon power consumption for the device in use).

For more information, refer to the latest version of the Crestron CAT5 Wiring Reference Guide (Doc. 6137).

QuickMedia Wiring (QM versions only)

The Crestron QuickMedia cable (sold under the name “CresCAT-QM”) contains one CAT5E cable and one Cresnet cable in Siamese jackets. Installation of any QM device is as simple as installing CresCAT-QM wires from the output of one device to the input of another. Installations are flexible, affordable and fast. For more information, refer to the latest revision of the Crestron MediaManager Applications Guide (Doc. 6244).

CresCAT-QM Cable

CresCAT-QM

Cable

NOTE: Do not untwist the two wires in a single pair for more than 1/3-1/2” (0.84-1.27 cm) when making a connection. The twists are critical to canceling out interference between the wires.

The aggregate cable length of a signal path originating at a QM transmitter and terminating at the TPMC-15/17-L must not exceed 450 feet (137 meters). Video 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 peculiar to either Crestron and/or QuickMedia systems. To ensure sufficient bandwidth, the maximum aggregate cable length should not exceed 450 feet. The use of lower-resolution signals may allow increased cable length but must be tested by the installer with the sources to be used. The QM pin assignment is based on the EIA/TIA 568B RJ-45 Jack standard.

NOTE: QM IN 2 does not have delay skew compensation (as does QM IN 1), so the maximum cable length varies based upon resolution and should not exceed 300 feet (90 meters) for standard definition video. Refer to the QM Input #2 Maximum Cable Length table that follows.

NOTE: When transmitting S-video, luminance uses the green video pathway and chrominance uses the red video pathway. When transmitting composite video, the signal is carried on the blue video pathway.

NOTE: When using CresCAT-QM wiring, four additional wires are included for making Cresnet connections.

When connecting multiple QM devices, the route between a QM origination point (transmitter) and a QM endpoint (receiver) cannot have more than two midpoints (e.g. QM-MD7x2 or other QM switchers). Refer to the following diagram when configuring a QM network.

NOTE: The aggregate length from transmitter to receiver cannot have a delay skew of more than 22 ns.

The TPMC-15/17-QM-L is not a switcher, but a transmitter/endpoint. Therefore, even when designated as the endpoint from two midpoint switchers, the QM output of the TPMC-15/17-QM-L can become another transmitter sending RGB video at the touchpanel’s native resolution and aspect ratio. Refer to the following diagram.
