The Crestron® TST-902 Wireless Touch Screen is an advanced wireless
controller, engineered to deliver ultimate performance, reliability, and
customizability for controlling a wide range of technologies in a corporate,
government, classroom, or high-end home environment. Its thin, tablet­style design is easy to hold and moves effortlessly between portable and
stationary tabletop or in-wall use.
affords several hours or days of operation between charges. Dual-mode
wireless performance with roaming capability assures dependable
connectivity throughout a commercial facility or luxury residence.

Featuring a high-contrast 8.7” capacitive touch screen with Smart
Graphics™, the TST-902 allows completely customizable control over
media presentation and teleconferencing systems, lighting and shades,
HVAC and BMS, home theater, and a host of other technologies. Additional
advanced features include the abilities to control any function using voice
commands, view full-motion streaming video from cameras and other
sources, and browse the Internet.

Smart Graphics

™

Voice Recognition

Some things are easier said than done, so why not just say what you want
and let Crestron do it for you? With built-in voice recognition, the TST-902
provides the ability to use spoken commands to control virtually anything.
Voice recognition can be used to quickly turn devices on or off, choose a
lighting scene, select and play a specific media title or playlist, initiate a
conference call, or enter a password. Simply press the Voice Recognition
button on the touch screen and say a command and Crestron does
the rest.

Streaming Video

High-performance streaming video capability makes it possible to view
security cameras and other video sources right on the touch screen.
Native support for H.264 and MJPEG formats allows the TST-902 to
display live streaming video from an IP camera, a streaming encoder
(Crestron CEN-NVS200, DM-TXRX-100-STR, or similar

DigitalMedia™ switcher.

[3]

[4]

), or a

Web Browsing

Using its built-in Web browser, the TST-902 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 TST-902. Of course, the
Web browser may also be used to simply browse the Internet, watch online
videos, and check up on social media.

[2,3]

Multi-Touch Support

The TST-902’s capacitive touch screen affords enhanced capabilities for
browsing Web pages using multi-touch gestures.

On-Screen Keyboard

An on-screen multi-language keyboard allows for quick entry of passwords,
URLs, and text searches.

Audio Feedback

Customized audio files can be loaded on the TST-902 to add another
dimension to the touch screen graphics using personalized sounds, button
feedback, and voice prompts.

Dual-Mode Wireless

To deliver the ultimate in wireless touch screen performance and
functionality, the TST-902 employs a combination of Crestron Extended
Range 2.4 GHz RF (ER) and Wi-Fi® wireless technologies.

• Extended Range RF (Required) — Primary functionality is supported
via Crestron ER (Extended Range) wireless communications, providing

seamless touch screen control with true feedback. A single ER gateway

[4]

enables ultra dependable wireless performance at a range of up to
200 feet (60 m) indoors.

[5]

Roaming capability allows for even greater

coverage using up to eight ER gateways.

• Wi-Fi (Optional) — While the TST-902 can be operated using only
ER wireless, advanced wireless capabilities such as streaming video,
voice recognition, Web browsing, and dynamic graphics can only be
supported using both ER and Wi-Fi together (dual-mode). Crestron
enhanced Wi-Fi wireless performance achieves a remarkable 50 feet
(15 m) omnidirectional coverage indoors.

[5]

For Wi-Fi networks with
multiple access points, the TST-902 supports the ability to hand off
communication from one access point to another if the active
connection is lost.

[6]

The choice of 802.11 b, g, and n protocols
affords reliable, high-speed wireless performance in virtually any RF
environment. For optimal Wi-Fi performance, Crestron offers the

CEN-WAP-1500 High Power Dual-Band Wireless Access Point

[4]

.

IMPORTANT: EVERY INSTALLATION OF THE TST-902 REQUIRES A
CRESTRON ER WIRELESS GATEWAY TO ENABLE ESSENTIAL WIRELESS
CAPABILITY. THE TST-902 WILL NOT WORK WITH WI-FI ALONE.

Instant-Waking

®

[7]

To ensure the most transparent user experience possible, the TST-902
has been engineered to wake instantly upon touching the touch screen.
Commands are sent immediately — just like an IR remote but with none
of IR’s limitations. So spontaneous actions like muting the audio, pausing
the video, or changing the channel can be executed on-the-fly without
any waiting.

Extended Battery Life

The TST-902 features a large-capacity, user-replaceable Li-Ion battery
pack to enable up to 9 hours of continuous operation and several days of
typical use between charges. Intelligent power management and Lithium
Ion battery technology afford a perfect balance of long battery life, light
weight, and compact size.

Table Dock Charger

The TST-902 includes a stylish table dock for charging its internal battery
while simultaneously allowing it to be used as a stationary tabletop touch
screen. The table dock holds the TST-902 firmly at a fixed upright angle
while docked, and allows it to be simply lifted off at any time for portable
use. Its sleek appearance achieves a look befitting the most contemporary
boardroom or luxury living room.

[1]

Wall Dock Option

Available separately, the TST-902-DSW provides a flush mount, in-wall
docking solution, allowing the TST-902 to be used as a stationary wall
mount touch screen with the ability to go wireless at any time.

Notes:

1. The TST-902 ships with (1) TST-902-DS Table Dock included. Additional table docks, or
the TST-902-DSW wall dock, may be ordered separately. Refer to the TST-902-DS and

TST-902-DSW spec sheets for additional information.

2. Voice recognition, Web browsing, weather information, and certain other functions require an
Internet connection via Wi-Fi.

3. Voice recognition, streaming video, Web browsing, and dynamic graphics capabilities require
dual-mode wireless (ER + Wi-Fi).

4. Item(s) sold separately.

5. Wireless range subject to site-specific conditions.

6. True roaming is supported for ER wireless communication only, affording uninterrupted
wireless performance for primary touch screen functions. Wi-Fi “handoff” capability enables
automatic handoff amongst up to four pre-designated Wi-Fi wireless access points, wherein
the last successful Wi-Fi connection is maintained indefinitely until that connection is lost, at
which point communication is handed off to the next nearest access point. A very brief
interruption to wireless Ethernet communication may occur during the handoff. Primary ER
wireless communication is unaffected by the Wi-Fi handoff process.

7. ER (Extended Range) RF wireless communication supports basic wireless touch screen
functionality, and is required for all applications. For advanced functionality including streaming
video, voice recognition, Web browsing, and dynamic graphics, Wi-Fi wireless communication
is also required (dual-mode). The TST-902 will not work with Wi-Fi alone.
