and channel selection to on-screen menu navigation or even pan/tilt camera control.
Four additional “softkeys” are positioned below the touchscreen, programmable for
context sensitive menu functions. A stylus is even included for use with the on-
screen keyboard, conveniently stowed in its own storage slot.
Isys®
Isys power and beauty are infused throughout Crestron’s entire touchpanel lineup.
Under the hood, the TPMC-8X offers vibrant 16-bit color depth to produce
incredible 3D graphics, high-res images, translucence, dynamic text and graphics,
full-motion animations, multimode objects and dramatic transition effects, 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.
Bluetooth® Technology
Built-in Bluetooth enable the use of a wireless mouse, keyboard and other devices. A
USB 2.0 port is also provided for connecting wired devices.
NOTE: Reserved for future applications. When uploading new firmware, review
release notes to see if this feature is available.
Biometric Scanner
The built-in fingerprint scanner unleashes a whole new level of convenience and
security, allowing individual users to be identified instantly and logged on
automatically. With just the touch of a fingertip, each user can be presented with a
unique graphical interface with its own set of preferences, access privileges and even
its own look through the use of touchpanel “skins”.
WiFi Wireless
Integrated 802.11a/b/g WiFi technology with WEP encryption delivers secure, high-
speed two-way wireless performance across wireless LANs, affording mobile
freedom and seamless communications with Crestron control systems, computers,
digital media servers and other IP-based devices.

network or Internet, allowing full access and control of desktop applications with
live presentation capability. Support for Yahoo! Widgets affords an easy solution for
integrating everything from calendars and clocks to stock tickers, weather forecasts,
news feeds and thousands of other fun and useful utilities.
Built on the Windows XP Embedded operating system, the TPMC-8X delivers a
powerful and secure platform for touchpanel control with integrated PC capabilities.
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.
Wireless Video
For entertainment or surveillance, the TPMC-8X makes it easy to view security
cameras, movies and other video sources right on the touchscreen. In addition to the
wide range of formats supported by its embedded media player applications, the
TPMC-8X also features native support for viewing streaming video from Axis
Network Video cameras and servers.
Audio Features
Built-in stereo speakers, dual integrated microphones and a stereo headphone output
provide full audio functionality to complement the TPMC-8X’s touchpanel, video
and 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.
Li-Ion Rechargeable Batteries
A field-replaceable Lithium Ion battery pack onboard the TPMC-8X provides fast
charging, long lasting wireless operation without the “memory” issues typical of
other rechargeable batteries. An external “booster” battery pack is also available,
which clips neatly to the rear of the touchpanel without tools, adding 0.75 inch depth
and non-slip rubber feet resulting in a fixed tilt angle of 7 degrees.
Docking Station Options
Optional desktop or wall mount docking stations afford a choice of convenient
charging solutions, adding 10/100 Ethernet for direct connection to a wired LAN,
plus two USB ports for mouse and keyboard. The desktop dock allows the
touchpanel to be operated at a 37 degree angle, while the wall mount model provides
a secure, flush look.

Embed Apps (Embedded Applications)
The Embed Apps button opens a window that permits you to set internet security to
different levels for different types of internet sites.
“Embedded Apps” Window
Three security levels (High, Medium and Low) can be selected for each of the three
zones (Internet, Local Intranet, and Trusted Sites). The security levels are defined
as:
• High: The safest way to browse, but also the least functional. Less secure
features are disabled. Appropriate for sites that may have harmful content.
• Medium: Safe browsing and still functional. Prompts before downloading
potentially unsafe content. Unsigned ActiveX controls will not be
downloaded. Appropriate for most internet sites.
• Low: Minimal safeguards and warning prompts are provided. Most content
is downloaded and run without prompts. All active content can run.
Appropriate for sites you absolutely trust.
Press Default to restore the default security settings. By default, security is set to
Medium for Internet and Local Intranet, and Low for Trusted Sites.
The “Embedded Apps” window also permits you to enable the popup windows
(child windows) that open when you are in Internet Explorer (not the popup windows
of the embedded applications).
