Rava® SIP Intercom
Rava SIP Intercom Technology enables hands-free VoIP communication
with other Rava-enabled touch screens and door stations. Rava works over
Ethernet, supporting 2-way intercom, video intercom
[6]
, and paging without
requiring any special wiring. VoIP phone capability is also possible through
integration with a SIP-compatible IP phone system or SIP server, allowing
hands-free telephone functionality complete with speed-dialing, caller ID,
custom ringers, and other enhancements. Built-in echo cancellation affords
full-duplex performance for clear, seamless voice communication.
Speakers and Microphone
The built-in speakers and microphone provide clear audio for intercom and
phone calls, as well as for listening to multimedia.
Audio Feedback
Customized audio files can be loaded to add another dimension to the
touch screen graphics using personalized sounds, button feedback, and
voice prompts.
Web Browsing
Using its built-in web browser, the TS-1542-C provides quick 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. If
a device can be controlled or managed through a web browser, it can be
integrated into the Crestron system through the TS-1542-C. Of course, the
web browser may also be used to simply browse the Internet, watch online
videos, and check up on social media.
[1]
Multi-Touch Support
The TS-1542-C’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-C, 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.
Power Options
The TS-1542-C ships with a 24V DC power pack, which connects to the
back of the touch screen and a nearby 100-240V AC outlet. Alternately, the
TS-1542-C can be powered remotely from a Cresnet® network or power
[7]
supply.
For applications requiring a single-wire solution, the TS-1542-C
can be powered through its DM 8G+ connection using a PoDM++ injector
(model DM-PSU-ULTRA-MIDSPAN
[4]
).
Interface Module
Each TS-1542-C ships with a compact interface module (TS-1542-IMCW),
which may be used as required to provide an RJ45 DM 8G+ 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 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-C-B-S and TS-1542-C-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.
