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.

Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the network, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.
CAUTION: 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
• For larger networks, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal
quality.
For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” on page 44.
Ethernet
).
Net ID
IP ID
The TPS-6L also uses high-speed Ethernet for communications between the device
and a control system, computer, digital media server and other IP-based devices.
For information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to the
latest version of the Crestron e-Control Reference Guide (Doc. 6052).
Identity Code
The Net ID of the TPS-6L has been factory set to 03. The Net IDs of multiple
TPS-6L devices in the same system must be unique. The Net ID is set using the
internal setup menu (refer to “Interface Menu” on page 13). The Net ID may also be
set from a personal computer (PC) via the Crestron Toolbox™ (refer to “Establishing
Communication” on page 41).
The IP ID is set within the TPS-6L’s table using Crestron Toolbox. For information
on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file. The IP IDs of multiple
TPS-6L devices in the same system must be unique.
When setting the IP ID, consider the following:
• The IP ID of each unit must match an IP ID specified in the SIMPL Windows
program.
• 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. Refer to
“Hardware Hookup” on page 32 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, after the hardware reset button is pressed and
released, or after touching the supplied opening screen. Refer to the following
illustration.
Opening Screen
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.
After all setup procedures are completed, press Exit and Run Program to save the
information to EEPROM and exit Setup Mode.

To obtain the SETUP MENU, press the Setup button from the MAIN MENU. The
SETUP MENU offers a series of buttons that open additional menus and displays,
which are detailed in subsequent paragraphs. The SETUP MENU also provides a
series of buttons at the bottom that permit easy application of the backlit engraving
setting preset values. Refer to “Backlit Engraving Settings” on page 21 for details.
After all setup parameters have been selected, select the Return button to return to
the MAIN MENU.
NOTE: For convenience, the current CRESNET ID setting is displayed in the upper
left corner.
NOTE: All touchpanel settings are automatically saved in non-volatile memory (on
exit from setup).
SETUP MENU
Interface Menu
The touchpanel communicates with a control system to activate commands or to
display feedback from components within the system. The communication interface
must be correctly specified or communication will not occur. To set communication
parameters, select the Interface button located on the SETUP MENU and display
the INTERFACE MENU, shown on the following page.
