Isys®
Isys power and beauty are infused throughout Crestron’s entire touchpanel lineup.
Under the hood, the TPS-12B/W, TPS-15B/W & TPS-17B/W offer vibrant 24-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.

High Performance Video
The TPS-12B/W, TPS-15B/W & TPS-17B/W can display full-motion video from an
external AV source, either full screen or in a scalable window. Motion adaptive
deinterlacing brings 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. Two
video inputs provide for connectivity to QuickMedia and PVID video distribution
switches (such as the CNX-PVID8X3 or CNX-PVID8X4).
High Quality Audio
The high-powered amplified speaker system provides amplification for external AV
sources and supports intercom functionality in combination with the integrated
microphone. Customized WAV files can be loaded on the touchpanel to add
dimension to the touchscreen graphics with personalized sounds, button feedback
and voice prompts. The TPS-12B/W, TPS-15B/W & TPS-17B/W touchpanels are
also equipped with balanced output for microphone audio that can be connected to a
Crestron CNX-BIPAD8 or similar Crestron CAT5 audio receiver.
Crestron Home® CAT5 AV
Connecting audio and video sources to the TPS-12B/W, TPS-15B/W &
TPS-17B/W 7L is facilitated using inexpensive CAT5 wire, enabling direct
connection to Crestron’s popular CAT5 balanced audio and video distribution
switchers. A single video input port accepts signals from composite, S-video and
standard definition components sources over wiring distances of up to 750 feet. A
bidirectional audio port receives stereo program audio and intercom signals and
outputs audio from the internal microphone. To facilitate direct connection of
conventional video and audio devices, an external interface module is included.
The TPS-12B/W, TPS-15B/W & TPS-17B/W are also equipped with a single
QuickMedia input port. Through QuickMedia (QM), the TPS-12B/W, TPS-15B/W
& TPS-17B/W interface directly with Crestron’s QM-based MediaManager products
using a single CAT5e type cable. Over wiring distances of up to 300 feet, the QM
input port accepts video signals from composite, S-video and standard definition
component sources along with discrete audio signals from one stereo program source
and up to two microphones. For more information on QM applications, refer to the
latest revision of the Crestron MediaManager Applications Guide (Doc. 6244) which
is available from the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/manuals
NOTE: The TPS-12B/W, TPS-15B/W & TPS-17B/W do not support RGB.
High-Speed Connectivity
Both Cresnet and high-speed Ethernet are standard on the TPS-12B/W, TPS-15B/W
& TPS-17B/W, providing for easy network integration and seamless
communications with Crestron control systems. In addition, a USB port is provided
for future applications. The "RS-232 Port for Touch Output" operation transmits
touch coordinates to external devices via RS-232 for “Touch-The-PC” and other
functions.
).
Cresnet®
Cresnet is the communications backbone for many Crestron touchpanels, keypads,
lighting controls and other devices. The Cresnet bus is a simple, yet flexible 4-wire
network that provides rock-solid bidirectional communication and power for up to
252 Cresnet devices.
Memory
The TPS-12B/W, TPS-15B/W & TPS-17B/W touchpanels feature 128 MB DDR
RAM and 32 MB Flash, with a built-in Compact Flash slot that allows flash memory
expansion up to 160 MB.
Slimline Tiltcase Design
The stylish tiltcase housing allows smooth tilt adjustment from 45 to 90 degrees and
features an integral cable strain relief and rear cover to secure and hide the
connections at the back of the touchpanel. Four backlit pushbuttons are also
provided, allowing for quick access to commonly used functions.
