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.

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”.
NOTE: Reserved for future applications. When uploading new firmware, review
release notes to see if this feature is available.
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.
Embedded PC
The power of Isys i/O is in its embedded PC engine, combining rock solid
touchpanel performance with built-in Windows Media
Internet Explorer, plus other applications including Microsoft Word, Excel,
PowerPoint® and Adobe® Acrobat® Reader. While simultaneously controlling your
home theater or boardroom, the TPMC-8X provides everything needed for viewing
Web pages, enjoying online music and movies, even viewing and editing documents
without necessitating a separate computer.

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, providing up to four hours total use
between recharges.
Docking Station Options
Placing the TPMC-8X into its optional desktop docking station (TPMC-8X-DS)
provides a convenient charging solution while also adding a 10/100 Ethernet port for
direct connection to a wired LAN and two more USB ports. The docking station
allows full touchpanel operation while docked.

“Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties” Window
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is a set of protocols that
defines how to transfer data between two computers. TCP monitors and ensures
correct transfer of data. IP receives the data from TCP, breaks it up into packets, and
ships it off to a network. The IP address is a unique number consisting of four parts
separated by dots, e.g., 165.113.245.2.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol for assigning dynamic
IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a
different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the IP
address of the device can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports
a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.
Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software keeps
track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. New
computers can be added to a network without manually assigning each one a unique
IP address.
IP Table
Edit, remove or enter a control system’s IP address in the IP table to enable
communication between the touchpanel and a control system. The touchpanel can
communicate with multiple control systems.
For more information on IP tables, refer to the latest version of the Crestron 2-Series
Control Systems Reference Guide (Doc. 6256), which is available from the Crestron
website (http://www.crestron.com/manuals
).

system by assigning signals to symbols. The symbol can be viewed by double
clicking on the icon or dragging it into Detail View. Each signal in the symbol is
described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1).
Programming with VisionTools Pro-e
Touchpanel screens should be created in VisionTools Pro-e to allow accessing the
embedded applications, switching of source signals to desired outputs as well as
selection of the system mode. There are no special programming requirements to use
the functions of the TPMC-8X in a room-control system.
Multi-Mode Objects
The single most-advanced VT Pro-e high-performance programming technique
involving the TPMC-8X is the concept of multi-mode objects. A multi-mode object
(i.e. button, legend, etc.) is an object drawn on a VT Pro-e page that can have one or
more active and inactive visible settings (modes).
For examples, refer to http://www.crestron.com/exampleprograms
multi-mode object examples. This file contains the VT Pro-e touchpanel files and
SIMPL Windows files that illustrate the high-performance capabilities of multi-mode
objects.
and search for
WAV File Audio Messages
The TPMC-8X touchpanels are capable of playing audio messages as system
prompts and responses. These files are recorded as WAV files on a PC using an
audio utility such as Sound Recorder that is packaged with Microsoft Windows
95/98/Me/XP/NT/ 2000™. Files from other sources may also be converted to an
acceptable format by using this or a similar utility. Many other audio utilities are
Operations Guide – DOC. 6539 Isys i/O™ WiFi Touchpanel: TPMC-8X • 35
Isys i/O™ WiFi Touchpanel Crestron TPMC-8X
available commercially or as shareware. The TPMC-8X touchpanels accept the
following WAV file format: PCM, 8 – 44.1 kHz, mono & stereo, 8 & 16 bit. For
more information about how to use Sound Recorder, refer to its User’s Guide and
extensive help information provided with the software. Also refer to the help file in
VT Pro-e to learn how to use its audio tool, Sound Manager, to attach WAV files to a
touchpanel project.
Pre-recorded WAV files for voice prompts and responses are available from
Crestron. These files can be stored into and programmed for use in the touchpanel
directly or may be edited with the Sound Recorder. For example, the individual files
can be combined to create custom messages.
NOTE: Touchpanel WAV files can be obtained from the Wave LC Library of the
Crestron FTP site.
Bit Depth and File Size
A bit depth refers to the number of memory bits used to store color data for each
pixel in a raster image. A touchpanel raster image consists of a rectangular grid of
picture elements (pixels). Each pixel uses the same amount of memory to store its
color data. The amount of memory is called the bit depth of the image.
Greater bit depths are required to represent finer gradations of color. Increasing bit
depth necessarily increases file size. A black and white drawing requires only one bit
per pixel to store all the available color information. Using a 32-bit per pixel bit
depth for a black and white image increases the file size 32 times without adding
anything to the black and white image quality.
In an 8-bit per pixel system, the associated 8-bits of video memory for every screen
pixel contain a value referring to a location in an 8-bit color table. In this way any
one of the specific 256 color table locations is assigned to a pixel.
A 16-bit highcolor system is considered sufficient to provide life-like colors. It is
encoded using 5-bits to represent red, 5-bits to represent blue and (since the human
eye is more sensitive to the color green) 6-bits to represent 64 levels of green. These
can therefore be combined to provide 65,536 mixed colors (32 x 32 x 64 = 65,536).
In a 24-bit graphics display, the video memory allocates 24 bits for each pixel on the
screen enabling each pixel to take on any one of a possible 16.7 million colors. Each
24-bit value is composed of 8-bits for red, 8-bits for green and 8-bits for blue. These
triplets of 8-bit values are also referred to as the red, green and blue color planes. A
24-bit image is actually composed of three component images which combine to
create the truecolor picture. The reason this is called truecolor is that this is near the
maximum number of colors the human eye is able to detect.
Truecolor images are sometimes represented by a 32-bit value. The extra 8-bits do
not enhance the precision of the color representation but act as an alpha channel that
represents pixel translucence. The 32-bit truecolor has become popular on the
computer desktop to provide effects such as translucent windows, fading menus and
shadows.
In graphics intensive applications such as touchpanels, raising or lowering the color
depth of the displayed graphics can achieve a balance of performance and quality.
Lower color depths do not require as much frame buffer memory or display
bandwidth, allowing them to be generated and displayed more quickly. Increasing
color depth results in higher color quality at the expense of display speed and
responsiveness. By using mostly 8-bit or 16-bit graphics and holding the
32-bit graphics to a minimum (e.g. for a family photo, etc.), you can create a
sophisticated project that will fit in the memory space provided and have the
touchpanel remain very responsive.

2 bits 4 Colors

24 bits 16.7 million Colors (Truecolor)
32 bits 16.7 million Colors plus Transparency
When creating a VT Pro-e project you can elect to compress and reduce the image
size in the “Page Properties” window for the entire page and/or perform the same
function of reducing the image size using the “Image Properties” window. A
reduction in image size will save a considerable amount of memory space for your
project.
In VT Pro-e, the Compress checkbox permits the image to be compressed when
compiling. The 16 Bits checkbox converts a 24-bit or 32-bit image to 16 bits. This
conversion to a 16-bit image may cause the loss of some subtle shading. To
compensate for this, use the dithering to simulate the original shading. Various
dithering types are available. Refer to the following illustrations.

MultiByte International Characters
Most languages use a single byte of eight bits to represent a character, e.g. English,
French, German, Hebrew, Russian, Thai, etc.
Multibyte character fonts require more than the usual eight bits to specify a
character. This occurs when a language has more than 256 characters (2
8
) in a font.
For example, Chinese fonts contain several thousand characters. Other multibyte
languages include Japanese and Korean.
Operations Guide – DOC. 6539 Isys i/O™ WiFi Touchpanel: TPMC-8X • 37
Isys i/O™ WiFi Touchpanel Crestron TPMC-8X
There are two separate applications with multibyte characters – static text on buttons
and indirect text on buttons. No Isys i/O touchpanel firmware changes are required in
either case.
Indirect text on a button is entered in VT Pro-e and the actual string to be displayed
is entered in SIMPL Windows. As of this publication date only completely single
byte or completely multibyte strings may be entered or they will not be compiled
correctly in SIMPL Windows. In other words, you cannot enter Chinese characters
interspersed with numbers. You can enter Chinese characters or numbers in separate
strings or you can pad each number with “\x00” to make it multibyte and then
combine it with Chinese characters in the same string.
Of course you can always use the workaround of showing a graphic that displays the
string but it is not dynamic. To compile and use multibyte characters it is essential
that the operating system understand the language. Windows XP is available in many
international languages and add-on software is available for other versions of
Windows.
Example Program
An example program for the TPMC-8X is available from the Crestron website
(http://www.crestron.com/exampleprograms).

Security Infrastructure
Since the TPMC-8X does not use a traditional hard drive but rather an image that
gets restored every time the touchpanel is rebooted, any virus infection is cleared
immediately after a reboot. However, using the currently available tools and
techniques, Crestron has provided an infrastructure that protects against possible
virus infections.
1. Executables/Scripts brought in on external media
The implementation of the TPMC-8X has restrictions on starting any application
or script. The only applications that can be started are those allowed by Crestron
and these can only be started from the Crestron project.
2. Downloaded Program/Script
The browser is customized in such a way that files cannot be downloaded. The
only files the browser can open are the files it has plug-ins for, such as PDF, etc.
The user cannot change the options, as this dialog box has been disabled.
3. Browser Hijack and Browser vulnerability
Crestron has patched all currently known hijacks and vulnerabilities. Future
updates can be downloaded from the Crestron website.
4. Email Viruses
There is no e-mail client installed on the TPMC-8X, so email-based viruses
cannot be executed.
5. Viruses that attack web/FTP servers
The TPMC-8X does not run a web or FTP server and is therefore not listening to
port 21 or 80. The only ports the system listens to are the ports registered to
Crestron.
6. Virus from other machines on the network
Since drives on the TPMC-8X can be shared on the network, it is possible that a
virus can write itself to files/folders on these shares. Our recommendation
therefore is to share as "Read-Only," so that viruses cannot attach themselves to
files on the TPMC-8X.
7. ActiveX and Java
The TPMC-8X has ActiveX disabled and has no Java Virtual Machine installed.
These applets cannot run on the TPMC-8X.
NOTE: While browsing the Internet with the TPMC-8X, clicking on a link may
cause a message box titled "Restrictions" to appear that contains the text "This
operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please
contact your system administrator." If this message appears, checking Enable Popup
Windows in the “Embedded Apps” section of the Setup Menu may correct this error.
Other restrictions may also cause this error, so this may not prevent all occurrences.
NOTE: Security settings and restrictions can be changed via the Embed Apps
button on the Setup Menu. Refer to “Embed Apps (Embedded Applications)” on
page 19 for details.
