Advanced Touch Screen Control
A Crestron® touch screen offers an ideal user-interface for controlling
all the technology in your home, boardroom, classroom, courtroom, or
command center. Touch screens simplify and enhance the way you use
technology, doing away with those piles of remote controls, cluttered wall
switches, disparate smartphone apps, and cryptic computer screens.
For controlling audio, video, lighting, shades, HVAC, security, and other
systems, Crestron touch screens are fully-customizable with easy-to-use
controls and icons, true feedback and real-time status display, full-motion
video windows, and a full-featured media player for an enhanced
multiroom entertainment experience.
The Crestron TS-1542 delivers the ultimate touch screen experience —
blending style and function with advanced high-definition graphics. In one
slim device, the TS-1542 integrates a brilliant 15.6 in. Full HD touch screen
display and high-performance digital graphics engine. Its sleek, modern
design features premium metallic construction and edge-to-edge glass

for a contemporary look that’s perfectly at home placed on an executive
boardroom table, installed in a high-tech command center, or mounted on
the wall in a luxury residence.
Featuring enhanced Smart Graphics® technology performance and
dual-window HD streaming video display, the TS-1542 delivers an elegant
and powerful touch screen control solution for a wide range of
applications. Additional features include the abilities to control any
function using voice commands, browse the Internet, annotate over a video
image or whiteboard screen, and communicate using built-in VoIP intercom and phone functions.
[1]
Single-wire PoE+ connectivity and a choice of
tabletop, wall, or VESA mounting options afford an integrator-friendly
solution that’s easy to install and fits perfectly in any space. Standard
finishes include either white or dark gray metallic, or choose the Signature
Series option to design your own custom finish.
Sleek, Versatile Design
At just 1-3/4 inches (45 mm) deep, the TS-1542 can be mounted virtually
anywhere using the supplied wall mount kit or a third-party VESA 100
compliant mounting arm, bracket, or stand. A tabletop tilt model
(TS-1542-TILT-C) is also offered, which features an ultra-stylish, smooth-
tilt base for use on a table, desk, podium, or countertop.
Smart Graphics® Technology
Crestron touch screens use Smart Graphics to deliver the ultimate user
experience and the ultimate value by enabling the creation of dynamically
rich user interfaces with incredible efficiency and unparalleled functionality.
Using Smart Graphics, programmers can swiftly integrate fluid gesturedriven controls, animated feedback, rich metadata, embedded apps and
widgets, and full-motion video for a deeply engaging and ultra-intuitive

video from IP cameras, streaming encoders (Crestron CEN-NVS200,
DM-TXRX-100-STR, or similar
[2]
), and DigitalMedia™ switchers. Video is
delivered to the touch screen over Ethernet, eliminating the need for any
extra video wiring.

TS-1542 Signature Series
The Signature Series allows the TS-1542 to be transformed into a
beautiful showpiece adorned with custom colors and graphics on the
tilt base and rear of the touch screen. No design is off limits, as

Web Browsing
Using its built-in web browser, the TS-1542 provides access to online
program guides and other web-based services at the touch of a
button, allowing enhanced touch screen control of DVRs and other
appliances without having to pick up a separate tablet or smartphone. The
web browser may also be used to simply browse the Internet, check traffic
conditions, or look up a recipe.
[1]
Multi-Touch Support
The TS-1542’s capacitive touch screen affords enhanced capabilities for
browsing web pages using multi-touch gestures.
Keyboard Options
Typing in passwords, URLs, and text searches is facilitated using the onscreen multi-language keyboard. A physical USB keyboard (not included)
may also be connected.
Built-in Annotation
Whether conducting a high-level boardroom meeting or training seminar,
sharing ideas in a huddle space, or watching sports in your home theater,
annotation helps put the fine point on any presentation. Annotation
provides the ability to illustrate your thoughts on-the-fly, letting you draw
and write over streaming video and computer images, and sketch out
ideas on a whiteboard screen.
Native to the TS-1542, remote annotation capability allows multiple
participants, each with a separate touch screen, to draw with their
fingertips over the same video image or whiteboard, enabling enhanced
collaboration in a classroom, courtroom, or council chamber. Adding a
Crestron Digital Graphics Engine (model DGE-100
[2]
) connected to the
room’s main display allows the whole annotation session to be viewed by
the entire audience.
Crestron AirBoard™ Capture System Compatibility
The TS-1542 can be used to view presentation content captured by a
Crestron CCS-WB-1 Crestron AirBoard™ whiteboard capture system. The
captured presentation is streamed to the TS-1542 over the network and
displayed in a video window on the touch screen.
Single-Wire Connectivity
A simple Ethernet LAN connection with PoE+ is all that is required to
wire the TS-1542, containing all control, video, intercom, and power
signals within a single wire. If the LAN does not support PoE+, the
TS-1542 may be powered using the supplied 100-240V power pack or
24VDC Cresnet® power.
[4]
Power over Ethernet
Using PoE+ technology, the TS-1542 can get its operating power right
through the LAN wiring. PoE (Power over Ethernet) eliminates the need for
a local power supply or any dedicated power wiring. To supply PoE+ to a
network of TS-1542 touch screens and other devices, Crestron offers the
CEN-SWPOE-16 16-Port Managed PoE Switch.
[2]
Enterprise Grade Security
Crestron touch screens employ enterprise-grade networking with robust
security features such as 802.1X authentication, TLS encryption, HTTPS
connectivity, and Active Directory® software integration. These features are
imperative to protect your network against service interruptions and
malicious intrusions, and to ensure compliance with your organization’s
stringent network policies. Cloud-based provisioning and management
streamlines the process of configuring and monitoring every touch screen
on the network and keeping them updated. Additional support for SNMP
allows every touch screen to be monitored by your IT administrator
alongside every other device on the network.
Crestron XiO Cloud™ Service
Crestron XiO Cloud is Crestron’s unifying cloud-based platform for remotely
provisioning, monitoring, and managing Crestron devices across an enterprise
or an entire client base. Crestron XiO Cloud enables installers and IT
managers to deploy and manage thousands of devices in the amount of
time it would ordinarily take to manage just one. It provides a zero-touch
solution that allows complete configuration of device settings without
any hardware in hand, then simply connect each device on site and let
Crestron XiO Cloud push out the settings, licenses, drivers, and firmware
updates – automatically and securely – for a quick and painless,
ready-to-use deployment.
Ongoing Crestron XiO Cloud services facilitate daily management and
monitoring of every device through a single dashboard with
comprehensive reporting and logging, live status viewing and alerts,
performance metrics and analytics, scheduled actions and updates, and
more. As requirements grow and evolve, new features and
functionality can be added easily to one or many devices at any time
without ever going on site. Crestron XiO Cloud is a subscription-based
service offering an adaptable SaaS (Software as a Service) solution with
graduated levels of functionality and unlimited scalability. For more
information about Crestron XiO Cloud, please visit
https://www.crestron.com/xiocloud.
NOTE: The level of Crestron XiO Cloud functionality available varies by
device. New Crestron XiO Cloud functions may be added for devices in
future firmware updates.
Interface Module
Each TS-1542 ships with a compact interface module (TS-1542-IMCW),
which may be used as required to provide an RJ45 LAN connection for
the touch screen. The module can be mounted in a 1-gang electrical box
or floor box, under a table, or in a podium or equipment rack. A 6 foot (1.8
meter) long LAN cable is included for connection between the module and
touch screen.
NOTE: When surface mounted using the wall mount kit (included with
models TS-1542-B-S and TS-1542-W-S only), all wiring enters through an
electrical box or cut-out and is concealed from view. For this method of
installation, the interface module may not be required.
