Crestron TPS-12L/15L/17L Isys® Wall Mount Touchpanels
Isys® Wall Mount Touchpanels:
TPS-12L/15L/17L
Introduction
The Crestron Isys® TPS-12L, TPS-15L and TPS-17L family of wall mount
touchpanels offer high brightness and contrast combined with a super wide viewing
angle to deliver crisp, detailed images under all conditions. For simplicity within this
guide, these touchpanels are referred to as TPS-12L/15L/17L except where noted.
The features and specifications (except for screen size and resolution) for all three
touchpanels are identical.

Features and Functions (Continued)
• High speed Cresnet® communications
• Five backlit “softkey” buttons (one reset and four programmable
Isys®
Isys power and beauty are infused throughout Crestron’s entire touchpanel lineup.
Under the hood, the TPS-12L/15L/17L 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™
buttons)
• 128 MB of DDR RAM, 32 MB of internal flash (expandable to
160 MB)
• Includes a TPMC-CH-IMC to facilitate A/V connections
• Wall, lectern and rack mounting options
• Available in black with silver accent or white with gray accent
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-12L/15L/17L 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 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. The TPS-12L/15L/17L 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-12L/15L/17L 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.

Crestron TPS-12L/15L/17L Isys® Wall Mount Touchpanels
QuickMedia™
The TPS-12L/15L/17L is also equipped with a single QuickMedia input port.
Through QuickMedia (QM), the TPS-12L/15L/17L interfaces 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-12L/15L/17L does not support RGB.
High-Speed Connectivity
Both Cresnet and high-speed Ethernet are standard on the TPS-12L/15L/17L,
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-12L/15L/17L 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.
Versatile Flush-Mount Design
The TPS-12L/15L/17L is designed for flush-mount installation in a wall, lectern or
similar flat surface. A variety of mounting accessories is offered including optional
back box and 19” rack mount kit. Five backlit pushbuttons are also provided,
allowing for quick access to commonly used functions such as volume, home and
reset.
