Isys® 5.7-Inch Wall Mount Touchpanel Crestron TPS-6L
Crestron touchpanels offer an ideal user-interface for controlling everything from
basic audio distribution and lighting to complete home automation and multimedia
presentation, providing a wide-open canvas for the creation of custom control
screens perfectly tailored to the needs of the end-user. Touchpanels do away with
piles of remote controls, cryptic front panels, and cluttered wall switches, affording
true "one-touch" control over a broad range of complex devices and systems.
Isys®
Isys power and beauty are infused throughout Crestron’s entire touchpanel lineup.
Under the hood, the Isys engine combines a 32-bit Freescale ColdFire
microprocessor with an ingenious and ultra efficient operating system to produce
astonishing full-color graphics and high-res images with lightning-fast performance.
Capabilities include dynamic graphics and text, full-motion animations, multimode
objects, and PNG translucency.
®
Synapse™
Crestron’s exclusive Synapse Image Rendering Algorithm enables system
programmers to produce amazing graphics - faster and easier. Advanced anti-aliasing
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.
Full-Motion Video
The TPS-6L can display full-motion video from an external source, providing an
exceptional utility for viewing security cameras and other video signals on the
touchscreen display. The video image is fully scalable for viewing in any sized
window or full screen. The choice of balanced or unbalanced composite inputs
allows compatibility with both conventional coaxial and Crestron Home Balanced
AV distribution systems.
Audio Features
Customized WAV audio files can be loaded on the touchpanel to add dimension to
its touchscreen graphics using personalized sounds, button feedback, and voice
prompts. An external speaker option can be added for amplification of external AV
sources, and to support programmable intercom functionality in combination with
the built-in microphone.
Crestron Home® CAT5 AV
The TPS-6L is ideal for use with AV distribution and intercom systems of all sizes.
Its balanced audio and video connections make installation easy and affordable using
inexpensive CAT5 type wire and Crestron's popular CH CAT5 Balanced AV
distribution switchers. A single balanced video input accepts signals from composite
video sources over wiring distances of up to 750 feet, while balanced audio
connections are included to accept incoming stereo program audio and intercom
signals, and to output audio from the internal microphone. Connection to
conventional coaxial video and audio systems is also supported.
Optional Pushbuttons
Each TPS-6L is furnished with two front bezels, providing the choice to add or omit
12 programmable pushbuttons. Integral to the button bezel, the pushbuttons are
positioned along the left and right edges of the touchscreen, making it possible to
align dynamically changing text and graphics onscreen beside the pushbuttons to
support context-sensitive menu functions such as digital media titles, channels, or

Crestron TPS-6L Isys® 5.7-Inch Wall Mount Touchpanel
lighting presets. Custom engraving of the bezel is also available, with a choice of
solid or backlit text.
Light Sensor
A light sensor is built into the TPS-6L to automatically adjust the display brightness
for optimal visibility under varying light conditions.
High-Speed Connectivity
Both Cresnet® and high-speed Ethernet are standard on the TPS-6L, providing for
easy network integration and seamless communications with Crestron control
systems.
Versatile Flush-Mount Design
The TPS-6L is designed for easy flush-mount installation in a wall, lectern or similar
flat surface. Mounting clips furnished with the TPS-6L facilitate a clean installation
in drywall and many furniture applications. Additional mounting options are
available separately to support a range of pre- and post-construction applications as
well as rack mounting.
NOTE: The TPS-6L is compatible with 2-Series control systems only.

building codes) or attach the cover plate supplied with the mounting kit.
Touchpanel Mounting
Physical installation of the TPS-6L without a mounting option includes mounting the
unit to the wall and installing a bezel. The only tools required for the procedures
presented here are masking tape (or equivalent), a level, a gypsum board saw (or
equivalent), and a #2 Phillips tip screwdriver. The following procedures are based on
the use of the supplied screws and clips for post-construction installation.
Mounting to the Wall
The TPS-6L is designed to be mounted in a wall or lectern. Two overlay cutout
templates (4504078) are supplied. One is in the shape of the required opening; the
other is similar to a frame, with the inner area of the frame the shape of the required
opening. (Refer to the following diagrams.) Use the template that is most convenient.

CAUTION: Do not apply excessive pressure to the touchscreen display during
handling. Doing so can crack the screen and damage the touchpanel.
NOTE: The TPS-6L can only be powered via the 4-position terminal block
connector labeled NET. Power cannot be supplied from network devices that are
connected to the mini-terminal block connectors.
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.

Crestron TPS-6L Isys® 5.7-Inch Wall Mount Touchpanel
Programming is organized into six system Views of the lighting system, each
providing a moveable toolbox of devices such as interfaces, fixtures and control
modules. You can add a device to your system simply by selecting it from one of the
toolboxes and dragging it to a room. The available toolboxes differ depending on the
View but all Views include a "General" toolbox that allows you to add areas and
rooms at any time.
Programming with SIMPL Windows
NOTE: While SIMPL Windows can be used to program the TPS-6L, it is
recommended to use SystemBuilder for configuring a system.
SIMPL Windows is Crestron’s premier software for programming Crestron control
systems. It is organized into two separate but equally important “Managers”.
Configuration Manager
Configuration Manager is the view where programmers “build” a Crestron control
system by selecting hardware from the Device Library.
• To incorporate the TPS-6L into the system, drag the TPS-6L from the
Touchpanels | Touchpanels (Cresnet) folder (or the Touchpanels (Ethernet)
folder) of the Device Library and drop it in the System Views.
Locating the TPS-6L in the Device Library
The system tree of the control system displays the devices in the appropriate slots
with default Net ID and default IP ID as shown in the following illustration.

• Additional TPS-6L devices are assigned different Net ID (for Cresnet devices)
or IP ID (for Ethernet devices) numbers as they are added.
• If necessary, double click a device to open the “Device Settings” window and
change the Net ID or IP ID, as shown in the following figures.

• The ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows program must match the Net ID
or IP ID of each unit. Refer to “Identity Code” on page 10.
Program Manager
ulti-mode objects offer high-
erformance programming!
Program Manager is the view where programmers “program” a Crestron control
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 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-6L in a roomcontrol system.
Multi-Mode Objects
The single most-advanced VisionTools Pro-e high-performance programming
technique involving the TPS-6L 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
and search for
The TPS-6L 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/Vista™. Files from other sources may also be converted to
an acceptable format by using this or a similar utility. Many other audio utilities are
available commercially or as shareware. The TPS-6L touchpanels only accept the
following WAV file format: 8-bit PCM, mono, 8KHz. 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
Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 6564B Isys® 5.7-inch Wall Mount Touchpanel: TPS-6L • 37
Isys® 5.7-Inch Wall Mount Touchpanel Crestron TPS-6L
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.
Relationship of Bits to Colors
NUMBER OF BITS NUMBER OF COLORS
1 bit Black and White
2 bits 4 Colors
4 bits 16 Colors
8 bits 256 Colors
16 bits 65,536 Colors (Highcolor)
24 bits 16.7 million Colors (Truecolor)
32 bits 16.7 million Colors plus Transparency
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.

Pushbutton Programming
The twelve pushbuttons that flank the display can be programmed to access any
frequently used command. Each button has a permanently fixed digital join number.
The sequence of digital join numbers is (top to bottom, left to right) 1 through 6 and
7 through 12. Refer to the following illustration. A description for each button signal
is given in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1).
Pushbutton Layout and Join Number Assignment
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
Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 6564B Isys® 5.7-inch Wall Mount Touchpanel: TPS-6L • 39
8
) in a font.
Isys® 5.7-Inch Wall Mount Touchpanel Crestron TPS-6L
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.
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 TPS-6L is available from the Crestron website
(http://www.crestron.com/exampleprograms).

Uploading and Upgrading
Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each device
contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features.
However, before attempting to upload or upgrade it is necessary to establish
communication. Once communication has been established, files (for example,
programs, projects or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (and/or
device). Finally, program checks can be performed (such as changing the device ID
or creating an IP table) to ensure proper functioning.
Establishing Communications
Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the TPS-6L; refer to the Crestron
Toolbox help file for details. There are two methods of communication.
Indirect Communication
TCP/IP Communication
Indirect Communication
PC RUNNING
CRESTRON TOOLBOX
SERIAL,

OR USB
CONTROL SYSTEM TPS-6L
CRESNET
• TPS-6L connects to control system via Cresnet.
• Establish communication between the PC and the control system as described in
the latest version of the 2-Series Control Systems Reference Guide (Doc. 6256).
• Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for the TPS-6L
using the expected communication protocol (Indirect). Select the Cresnet ID of
the TPS-6L and the address book entry of the control system that is connected to
the TPS-6L.
• Display the TPS-6L’s “System Info” window (click the
icon);
communications are confirmed when the device information is displayed.
NOTE: Required for operation with a Crestron control system.
Ethernet Communication
• Establish indirect communication between TPS-6L and PC as stated above.
• Enter the IP address, IP mask and default router of the TPS-6L via the Crestron
Toolbox (Functions | Ethernet Addressing); otherwise enable DHCP.
• Confirm Ethernet connections between TPS-6L and PC. If connecting through a
hub or router, use CAT5 straight through cables with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors.
Alternatively, use a CAT5 crossover cable to connect the two LAN ports
directly without using a hub or router.

Check Network Wiring
Use the Right Wire
Calculate Power
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
equation to calculate the cable length value on the equation’s left side.
Cable Length Equation
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)
2
2
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.
Strip and Tin Wire
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.
Add Hubs
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.
