Isys® Color Touchscreen
Its brilliant 5.7” active matrix display and powerful Isys engine combine to produce
stunning 16-bit color graphics with extreme versatility and lightning fast
performance. Dynamic graphics and text capability enable the display of all kinds of
useful data and alluring eye candy, from audio settings, TV channels and lighting
levels to changing icons, photos and logos, to digital media playlists complete with
album cover art.
Crestron’s exclusive Synapse™ image rendering algorithm enables system
programmers to produce amazing graphics faster and easier, featuring advanced
antialiasing for crisper, sharper objects and text, plus 3D effects for enhanced depth
and style. Additional capabilities like animations, multimode objects, PNG
translucence and full motion video enhance the palette for creating GUIs that are
both eye catching and easy to use.
NOTE: Full motion video requires a wired connection via a TPS(I)-6X-DS Docking
Station (included).
New support for Windows® SideShow™ gives the TPS-6X access to all kinds of PC
and Web-based content such as news feeds, sports scores, stock tickers, weather
alerts, media guides, email messages and appointment notifications all through a
simple network connection to a Windows Vista™ computer.
Tactile Pushbuttons
In addition to its touchscreen, the TPS-6X features illuminated tactile pushbuttons
(black models only) for quick access to volume adjustment, channel selection and
on-screen menu navigation functions. Eight additional pushbuttons, elegantly
trimmed by illuminated button dividers, flank the edges of the touchscreen to support
additional programmable functions.

Crestron TPS-6X Isys® 5.7” Wireless Touchpanel
High quality backlit laser engraving (black models only) lends a crisp, legible
appearance to button text in both darkened and fully lit rooms. The pushbuttons
come pre-engraved with labeling suited to a typical home theater or multimedia
presentation application. If needed, customized engraving can be attained simply
using Crestron Engraver software. A no-button front bezel is also included with the
TPS-6X, which may be installed in place of the button bezel for a very clean
appearance with no front panel pushbuttons.
Two additional “trigger” style buttons are positioned on top of the TPS-6X for easy
control of the display brightness, Sleep mode and other programmable functions.
High Powered Wireless
The TPS-6X brings a new level of wireless versatility to the Isys family of
touchpanels. With both 2-way RF and 1-way IR wireless capabilities built in, the
TPS-6X offers a choice of wireless platforms to suit the environment.
Crestron’s high power 2.4 GHz RF technology allows long range performance up to
200 feet (61 meters) indoors using the CEN(I)-HPRFGW High Powered RF
Gateway (sold separately). A range of selectable RF channels and power levels helps
to maximize performance for both small and large facilities, from boardrooms,
classrooms and home theaters to auditoriums and convention centers. High speed
bidirectional communication supports true feedback with dynamic graphics and text,
affording the capabilities of a wired Isys touchpanel in a fully wireless portable
package.
NOTE: Indoor RF range is 100-200 feet (30-61 meters), subject to site-specific
conditions.
Built in IR capability affords a wireless alternative that is immune to extremely noisy
RF environments and suitable for sensitive applications where RF may not be
permitted. An operational range of up to 50 feet (15 meters) line-of-sight is possible
using a C2N-IRGW-1G or C2N-IRGW-F IR Gateway or CNXRMIRD IR Receiver
(all sold separately).
TableTop Tilt Docking Station
Placing the touchpanel onto the TPS(I)-6X-DS Docking Station (included) converts
it to a stylish tilt touchpanel, providing wired communications and video capability
while charging the touchpanel’s internal battery. Both wired Ethernet and Cresnet®
connectivity are available. When the touchpanel is placed on the docking station, it
will switch automatically from RF wireless to fully wired operation if either Ethernet
or Cresnet is connected. Without a wired Ethernet or Cresnet connection present, the
touchpanel will continue to operate wirelessly while it charges.
The docking station features a triple lock tiltable docking port, allowing the
touchpanel to be tilted at any angle up to 45 degrees for optimal viewing and
operation when docked. The angle can be freely adjusted during use or locked down
at a fixed angle. A finger operated latch can be engaged at any time to lock the
touchpanel securely to the docking station or left unlocked for easiest removal after
recharging. The touchpanel can even be semi-permanently attached to the docking
station for a sleek, full time tabletop touchpanel solution.
A single cable exits the rear of the docking station base, extending to a wall or
surface mounted TPS-6X-IMCW Interface Module (included). The cable can also be
repositioned to exit the bottom for a very clean, cordless appearance.

Full Motion Video
When docked, the TPS-6X can display full motion video, providing the ability to
monitor a security camera or preview a DVD or television channel, right 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.
NOTE: Full motion video requires a wired connection via a TPS(I)-6X-DS Docking
Station (included).
Long Life NiMH Batteries
An internal NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) battery pack provides fast charging, long
lasting wireless operation, with adjustable power management built in to allow up to
24 hours typical usage per charge.

Use the tip of a capped pen or the eraser end of a pencil. To cancel calibration and
return to the MAIN MENU without saving calibration data, create a calibration error
by touching the screen in the same spot two times. If calibration has not been started,
you can return to the MAIN MENU by touching RETURN.

SETUP
To enter the SETUP MODE menu, touch Setup on the MAIN MENU.
SETUP MODE Menu
The SETUP MODE menu offers a series of buttons which open additional menus
and displays that are detailed in subsequent paragraphs. After setup parameters have
been selected, touch RETURN to go to the previous menu. When all setup
parameters have been selected, touch RETURN repeatedly to go back to the MAIN
MENU.
NOTE: All touchpanel settings are automatically saved in non-volatile memory.
The SETUP MODE menu also provides data for COMMUNICATION STATUS,
BATTERY, DOCKING STATION STATUS and FIRMWARE.
The Crestron Swirl logo in the COMMUNICATION STATUS section
illuminates to indicate the status of your connection to the control system(s). For
details, refer to “COMM” which starts on page 19.
The COMMUNICATION STATUS section also displays wireless signal strength, RF
ID, gateway connection and ID, Ethernet connection, IP and MAC addresses,
Cresnet connection status and ID and infrared ID.
The BATTERY section displays battery charge level and has indicators to show when
the battery is charging and when AC power is connected.
NOTE: When battery power is low, the TPS-6X will show a warning message. The
key backlight will be turned off and the display backlight will dim to minimum until
the battery is recharged or the unit is docked. If battery power drops to 4%, saving of
panel settings is not guaranteed.
NOTE: The battery charge level percentage indicator gets more accurate after a few
charge/discharge cycles. Periodic full discharge (i.e. once a month) is recommended
to maintain accuracy of the percentage measurement.
The DOCKING STATION STATUS section has an indicator to show docked status.
The RELEASE button is reserved for future applications.
