Introduction
Features and Functions
The TPS-VIDL-1 and TPS-VIDL-2 video cards are designed for
Crestron’s Isys
mounted touchpanels as well as the TPS-TPI Touchpanel Interface. Each
card contains a video digitizer that allows video signals to be displayed
on a touchpanel. The TPS-VIDL-1 can display one S-video or composite
video source while the TPS-VIDL-2 can display one S-Video source or
two composite video sources. The video card can accept either National
Television System Committee (NTSC) or Phase Alternating Line (PAL)
signal types. Composite and S-Video formats are supported and can be
displayed in a window or full screen page in an uploaded Crestron
VisionTools
TPS-4500L, TPS-5000L, and TPS-6000L lectern/wall
Pro-e (VT Pro-e) touchpanel project.

The TPS-VIDL-1 can automatically detect composite or S-video. The
TPS-VIDL-2 adds input for a second composite video source (on the
TPS-VIDL-2, Composite/S-Video can be auto-detected only when input
signal 2 is not used). When using the TPS-VIDL-2 for receiving two
video sources, the “Comp/Y” connection will be used for Composite
Video Source 1 while the chroma (C) connection will be used for
Composite Video Source 2.

Physical Description
The TPS-VIDL-1 and TPS-VIDL-2 card, shown in the following
diagrams, is a printed circuit board (PCB) that is designed for installation
into a dedicated expansion slot on the touchpanel motherboard. The card
contains a 60-pin connector that attaches directly to the motherboard and
is secured with four mounting screws (supplied with each model of the
video card). Video access is through two BNC connectors or a 6-pin
mini-phoenix connector that are permanently attached to the
TPS-VIDL card. The connectors (individually labeled in the NTSC/PAL
INPUT section of the touchpanel) are accessible from the connector
panel at the rear of the touchpanel case. Refer to the following diagrams
for physical dimensions.
