Isys®

Isys power and beauty are infused throughout Crestron’s entire touchpanel lineup. Under the hood, the TPS-12G/15G-QM offers 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.

buttons)

• 128 MB of DDR RAM, 32 MB of internal flash (expandable to 192 MB)

• Tiltcase housing with integral rear cover and cable strain relief

Dual-Window HD Video and RGB

The TPS-12G/15G-QM can simultaneously display two fully-scalable, full-motion video windows, each supporting standard video, HDTV and high-resolution RGB signals from external AV and computer sources. Discrete video scalers with motion adaptive deinterlacing bring out the highest 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.

NOTE: One or more QuickMedia devices are required to facilitate the input and output of audio, video and RGB signals.

Touch-the-PC

Crestron’s exclusive “Touch-the-PC” technology allows real-time touchpanel navigation of any Windows PC through a direct high-speed serial connection.

Built-in Annotation

Built-in annotation capability allows presenters to write or draw over computer and video images on the touchscreen using a finger or stylus and output the image live for audience display.

High Quality Audio

The high-powered biamplified 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.

NOTE: One or more QuickMedia devices are required to facilitate the input and output of audio, video and RGB signals.

QuickMedia™

All audio and video connections are facilitated using Creston’s revolutionary QuickMedia transport, providing a flexible yet remarkably simple wiring solution. Through QuickMedia (QM), the TPS-12G/15G-QM 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 cables runs up to 328 feet; input #2 allows up to 300 feet for video and HDTV and shorter distances for RGB computer signals. Both QM inputs receive audio signals from the external microphone and stereo line level sources.

The QM output port allows RGB output of the touchpanel screen image to feed a display device for audience presentation. A 24-bit digital audio signal is also present for distribution of the internal microphone signal.

High-Speed Connectivity

Both Cresnet and high-speed Ethernet are standard on the TPS-12G/15G-QM, providing for easy network integration and seamless communications with Crestron control systems. In addition, a USB port is provided for a mouse or external touch device. 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-12G/15G-QM touchpanels feature 128 MB DDR RAM and 64 MB Flash, with a built-in Compact Flash slot that allows flash memory expansion up to 192 MB.

Versatile Tiltcase Design

The stylish tiltcase housing allows smooth tilt adjustment from 45 to 90 degrees and features an integral cable strain relief system and rear cover to secure and hide the connections at the back of the touchpanel. Five backlit pushbuttons are also provided, allowing for quick access to commonly used functions such as volume, home, and reset.

NOTE: One or more QuickMedia devices are required to facilitate the input and output of audio, video and RGB signals.

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 TPS-12G/15G-QM must not exceed 328 feet (100 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 328 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 on 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 illustration when configuring a QM network.

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

The TPS-12G/15G-QM is not a switcher, but a transmitter/endpoint. Therefore, even when designated as the endpoint from two midpoint switchers, the QM output of the TPS-12G/15G-QM can become another transmitter sending RGB video at the touchpanel’s native resolution and aspect ratio. Refer to the following illustration.

• Each device using IP to communicate with a control system must have a unique IP ID.

Configuring the Touchpanel

NOTE: The only connection required to configure the touchpanel is power (supplied via Cresnet). Refer to “Hardware Hookup” on page 38 for details.

To configure the unit it may be necessary to access a series of setup screens prior to viewing run-time screens that are loaded into the touchpanel for normal operation. The MAIN MENU for configuring the touchpanel appears when a finger is held to the touchscreen as power is applied or after the hardware reset button is pressed and released. Remove your finger when the message "SETUP MODE" briefly appears on the touchscreen.

Upon entering SETUP MODE the MAIN MENU, as shown in the following illustration, displays four buttons: Touch Screen Calibration, Exit and Run Program, Setup and Diagnostics.

Recommended Cleaning

Keep the surface of the touchscreen free of dirt, dust or other materials that could degrade optical properties. Long-term contact with abrasive materials can scratch the surface, which may detrimentally affect image quality.

For best cleaning results use a clean, damp, non-abrasive cloth with any commercially available non-ammonia glass cleaner. Bezels may not provide a complete watertight seal. Therefore, apply cleaning solution to the cloth rather than the surface of the touchscreen. Wipe touchscreen clean and avoid getting moisture beneath the bezels.

Programming with VisionTools Pro-e

Touchpanel screens should be created in VisionTools Pro-e to allow 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 TPS-12G/15G-QM in a room-control system.

Multi-Mode Objects

The single most-advanced VisionTools Pro-e high-performance programming technique involving the TPS-12G/15G-QM is the concept of multi-mode objects. A multi-mode object (i.e. button, legend, etc.) is an object drawn on a VisionTools 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 VisionTools Pro-e touchpanel files and SIMPL Windows files that illustrate the high-performance capabilities of multi-mode objects.

WAV File Audio Messages

The TPS-12G/15G-QM 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. 6415A Isys® G-Series Touchpanels: TPS-12G/15G-QM • 45

available commercially or as shareware. The TPS-12G/15G-QM touchpanels only accept the following WAV file format: PCM, 8KHz, mono, 8-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 VisionTools 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.

When creating a VisionTools 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 VisionTools 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 For example, Chinese fonts contain several thousand characters. Other multibyte languages include Japanese and Korean.

There are two separate applications with multibyte characters – static text on buttons and indirect text on buttons. No Isys touchpanel firmware changes are required in either case.

Indirect text on a button is entered in VisionTools 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.

) in a font.

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.

Use the Right Wire

Calculate Power

Check Network Wiring

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 because 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 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

Operations Guide – DOC. 6415A Isys® G-Series Touchpanels: TPS-12G/15G-QM • 53

Isys® G-Series Touchpanels Crestron TPS-12G/15G-QM

equation to calculate the cable length value on the equation’s left side.

Cable Length Equation

Strip and Tin Wire

Add Hubs

L = Length of run (or chain) in feet R = 6 Ohms (Crestron Certified Wire: 18 AWG (0.75 MM ))

or 1.6 Ohms (Cresnet HP: 12 AWG (4 MM ))

P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain)

L <

40,000

Where:

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 using 18 AWG Crestron Certified Wire and drawing 20 watts should not have a length of run more than 333 feet. If Cresnet HP is used for the same run, its length could extend to 1250 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.

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.

For larger networks (i.e., greater 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.
