Crestron TPS-IMC Interface Module
Interface Module: TPS-IMC
Description
Functional Description
The TPS-IMC is designed specifically to serve as an interface module for the Crestron TPS5000 and TPS-6000 tilt touchpanels. The sleek design of the touchpanel base left little room
for all the connectors that define the touchpanel's versatility. Furthermore, since the panel is
not a stationary user interface, it is impractical to have an excessive amount of cable
connections directly to the touchpanel. As a result, it was necessary to connect the touchpanel
to an interface module that could offer additional space for interconnections.
Physical Description
The TPS-IMC, shown on the next page, is supplied with every TPS- tilt touchpanel. The
module is housed in a black enclosure with silk-screened top panel. A network connector and
video input connectors are located on one side of the unit. The opposite side offers audio
input, microphone output, and audio/network/video connections to the touchpanel. At the
shorter sides of the TPS-IMC, the enclosure extends to form feet at a right angle to the side.
There are three holes per foot for inserting screws to further stabilize the unit to a mounting
surface.
I/O Ports
There are eight I/O ports available on the TPS-IMC. Refer to the diagram on the next page
and the following bulleted items for descriptions of each port.
• NTSC/PAL VIDEO – These three ports are made active with the purchase and
installation of the TPS-VID, composite and S-video input for TV video card.
Consult the latest revision of the TPS-VID Operations & Installation Guide (Doc.
5869) for details. Use either the two BNC connectors or the six-pin connector
when connecting to a video source.
NOTE: Except for differential input (balanced) video signal, the six-pin video
connector with jumpers should be installed at all times.

• NET – This four-pin connector is used to connect to other four-wire devices in
the Cresnet system. If making network connections to Cresnet peripherals, refer
to the latest revision of the Cresnet Network Interconnect Drawing (Doc. 5411).
This document can be obtained from the Downloads page (CABLES and
MANUAL Libraries) of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com). Search for
CRESNET.PDF.
• AUDIO – This 8-position RJ45 mates with the TPS-5000 or TPS-6000
touchpanel. The 8-position audio cable assembly is supplied. Even though it may
fit, do not use the 10-position net/video cable.
This port provides audio input to the touchpanel and mic out from the touchpanel
to audio amplifiers. Description of the pinouts is shown in the table after this
paragraph.
