Crestron TPS-XVGA RGB Computer Interface Card for TPS/Tilt Panel
RGB Computer Interface Card for TPS/Tilt Panel: TPS-XVGA
Description
Functional Description
The TPS-XVGA RGB computer interface card is an optional feature designed for Crestron’s Isys™ TPS-5000 and TPS-6000 tilt touchpanels. Through an RGB window on a page within the uploaded VisionTools™ Pro-e (VT Pro-e) touchpanel project, the card allows computer video to be displayed on the touchpanel full screen or in a window. Non­interlaced input video resolutions of up to 1600x1200 are supported. The resolutions are supported by scaling or sub-sampling in the H-direction and scaled down in the V-direction to the native resolution (or lower) of the touchpanel. Lower resolutions may be scaled up to fill the touchpanel screen.
Optional touchpanel setups are also available to utilize the TPS-XVGA. Serial mouse control driver software and instructions to integrate a Boeckeler Pointmaker® Video Marker telestrator with the TPS touchpanel are provided. For further information, refer to “Appendix: Optional Touchpanel Setups” that begins on page 15.
NOTE: There are two interface modules that serve as an audio interface between the touchpanel and the video source computer and/or Crestron remote control system (herein referred to as the Cresnet system). The TPS-IMC Interface Module is supplied with every TPS-5000 or TPS­6000 tilt touchpanel and the wall-mounted TPS-IMW may be purchased separately. For further information, consult the TPS-IMC or TPS-IMW Operations Guide (Doc. 5856 or 5857, respectively). The latest revision can be obtained from the Products page (PRODUCT MANUALS section) or Downloads page (MANUAL Library) of Crestron’s website (www.crestron.com). New users are required to register to obtain access to the FTP site.
Physical Description
The TPS-XVGA, shown below, is a printed circuit board (PCB) designed to be installed into a specific expansion slot in the TPS touchpanel. The card is secured to the motherboard of the touchpanel with four supplied mounting screws. The card contains a 60-pin connector that attaches directly to the motherboard and a standard DB15 mini-computer video connector. The video connector (labeled RGB on the touchpanel) is accessible at the rear of the touchpanel base. Mounted on top of the card is a cooling fan assembly to maintain the proper operating temperature of the card during operation.

1 The latest software versions can be obtained from the What’s New page
(SIMPL Windows and VisionTools Pro-e sections) or Downloads page (SIMPLWIN and VTPRO-E Libraries) of Crestron’s website (www.crestron.com). New users are required to register in order to obtain access to the FTP site.
2 Touchpanels with later versions of firmware may include features not
mentioned in this guide. Newer versions of this guide can be obtained from the Products page (PRODUCT MANUALS section) or Downloads page (MANUAL Library) of Crestron’s website or contact Crestron customer service. Firmware upgrade files can be obtained from the What’s New page (Touchpanels section) or Downloads page (TOUCHPNL Library) of Crestron’s website.
3 CNX update files are required for either CNMSX-AV/Pro or CNRACKX/-DP.
Filenames for CNX update files have a UPZ extension and ST-CP files are in one EXE or zipped UPZ file. All can be obtained from the What’s New page (Control Systems Update Files section) or Downloads page (OPSYS Library) of Crestron’s website. Update files are specifically designed for certain control systems. If an update file is loaded into a control system other than the device
Operations & Installation Guide - DOC. 5944 RGB Computer Interface Card for TPS/Tilt Panel: TPS-XVGA 3
for which it was intended, it may lockup the control system which would then have to be returned to Crestron. Update files with an “S” designator are for the ST-CP, “V” designator for CEN/CN-TVAV, “W” for CNRACKX/-DP, and “X” for CNMSX-AV/Pro control systems. Control systems are able to recognize and reject incorrect update files. However, when updating control systems, do not ignore any Crestron Viewport warning prompts or messages.
4 The ST-CP control systems do not support loading of firmware or VT Pro-e
files to the TPS-series touchpanels through the RS-232 port of the control system. In order to load these files to the TPS touchpanel when using these control systems, either use the RS-232 port on the TPS touchpanel or Ethernet direct to the panel (assuming the TPS-ENET Ethernet Card is installed).
As of the date of manufacture, this unit has been tested and found to comply with specifications for CE marking.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
