a contemporary table or desktop, but are equally suited for all kinds of
custom installations thanks to integral VESA mount compatibility. Complete
connectivity is provided through a simple one-wire interface that allows
for long wire runs while affording an extremely clean appearance. V-Panel
also supports HDCP to ensure complete compatibility with today’s
digital sources!

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 do away with piles of remote controls, cluttered
wall switches, and cryptic computer screens, simplifying and enhancing
the way you use technology. For controlling audio, video, lighting, shades,
HVAC, security, and other systems, Crestron touch screens are fully­customizable with easy-to-use controls and icons, true feedback and real­time status display, full-motion video windows, and advanced navigation of
digital media servers, tuners, and other devices.

Sleek, Versatile Design

Our V-Panels have been designed with appearance and versatility in mind.
At less than 2 inches deep, the V15 can be mounted virtually anywhere us­ing a third-party VESA 75 compliant mounting bracket or stand. A tabletop
tilt model (V15-TILT) is offered, supplied with its own ultra-stylish, s

mooth-tilt base to deliver a very sleek-looking, low-profile control solution
for desktops, counters, and other level surfaces. A wall mount model
(V15-WALL) is also offered, affording the same V-Panel style and function
in a thoroughly modern, yet unimposing, flush mount design.

Digital Graphics Engine

For every V-Panel application, a DGE Digital Graphics Engine is required.

[1]

The DGE can be installed at the central equipment location, dramatically
reducing all the wiring from head end AV sources, switchers, and the
control network. A choice of DGEs is offered, allowing V-Panel to fit a range
of applications and budgets. A single DigitalMedia™ cable connects the
V15 to the DGE over a wiring distance of up to 300 feet (91 m), affording
exceptional flexibility while minimizing wiring cost and complexity.

Smart Graphics

™[2]

[5]

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 gesture-driven controls, animated feedback, metadata, embedded
apps, and full-motion video for a deeply engaging and ultra-intuitive touch
screen experience.

Crestron Smart Graphics include the following enhancements:

• Cool-looking graphical buttons, sliders, knobs, and gauges are intuitive
and fun to use.

• Kinetic effects enhance the feeling of realism with lists and toolbars
that scroll with momentum at the flick of a fingertip.

V15 V-Panel™ 15” HD Touch Screen Displays

• Drag-and-drop objects snap into place offering an easy way to
switch sources.

• Dashboard widgets personalize the touch screen with clocks, weather,
news, and other information.

• Customizable themes allow a completely different look and feel for
every user, event, or season.

• Fully-developed SmartObjects™ enable sophisticated control over
complex devices with minimal programming.

Embedded PC Applications

In combination with a DGE graphics engine, the V15 provides everything
you need to enjoy online music and videos, browse the Internet, and even
review digital documents without a separate computer. With Microsoft®
Internet Explorer® embedded, you have full access to the entire World Wide
Web including sites that use Flash® or Java®. Windows Media® Player
ensures broad compatibility for playing most types of digital media. Adobe®
Acrobat® Reader and Microsoft PowerPoint®, Word, and Excel® document
viewers complete the online experience, allowing you to download and
view documents and presentations.

In addition, VNC Viewer support delivers enhanced cross-platform
interaction with computers over the network or Internet, allowing remote
access and control of desktop applications to unleash a host of
possibilities for system integration and multimedia presentation.

HD Streaming Video

[3]

High-definition streaming video capability makes it possible to view
security cameras and other video sources over the network right on the
touch screen. Native support for H.264
the V15 and DGE

[3]

to display live streaming video from an IP camera,

a streaming server (Crestron CEN-NVS200

[3]

and MJPEG formats allows

[1]

or similar), a DigitalMedia
switcher, or a Capture HD® system. And, through the embedded Web
browser and media player, they support a wide variety of other streaming
and downloadable video formats, enabling access to all kinds of content
from media servers and Web sites like YouTube® and Netflix

HDMI® and Analog Video

[2]

®[6]

.

In addition to handling streaming video, the V15 can simultaneously display
up to two fully-scalable, full-motion video windows, each supporting SD or
HD video and high-resolution computer signals from external sources. All
connections are made at the DGE using conventional BNC, HDMI, and VGA
type cables.

HDCP Support

Industry-leading support for HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) ensures seamless compatibility with content-protected DVD,
Blu-ray Disc®, digital HDTV, and multimedia computer sources.

Rava™ SIP Intercom

[4]

Rava SIP Intercom Technology enables VoIP communication between any

two Rava-enabled Crestron touch screens. Rava works over Ethernet,
supporting 2-way intercom, video intercom

[7]

, and paging without requiring
any special wiring. VoIP phone capability is also possible through
integration with an SIP-compatible IP phone system or SIP server.

The V15 also supports legacy Crestron IP Intercom and Crestron Home®
(CH) CAT5 wired intercom. Crestron IP Intercom enables compatibility with
older Crestron touch screens that do not support Rava. CH CAT5 wired
intercom provides compatibility with the C2N-IADS30X24
CH CAT5 based switchers and processors.

Speakers and Microphone

Built-in front-firing speakers provide clear audio for listening to multimedia
and monitoring external AV sources, as well as for intercom in combination
with the integrated microphone. Customized audio files can also be used
to add another dimension to the touch screen graphics with personalized
sounds, button feedback, and voice prompts.

Keyboard/Mouse Options

On-screen keyboard and mouse capabilities enable complete control of the
embedded Web browser and other applications, and can also be used to
control computers running TouchPoint® Virtual Mouse & Keyboard Software
(VMK-WIN). A USB port is also provided on the V15, allowing for the
connection of a physical keyboard and mouse.

Real-Time Annotation

Whether conducting a high-level boardroom meeting, training seminar, or
watching sports in your home theater, annotation helps put the fine point
on any presentation. Built-in annotation provides the ability to illustrate
your thoughts on-the-fly, letting you draw and write over high-definition
video and computer images, and sketch out ideas on a whiteboard screen,
without leaving the podium or your favorite chair while other viewers
watch on the big screen.

Remote Annotation

Remote annotation capability allows multiple touch screen users to draw
with their fingertips over the same video image or whiteboard screen,
enabling enhanced interaction between several participants in a
courtroom, classroom, or council chamber.

Presentation Output

[2]

Through an HDMI or DigitalMedia connection at the DGE, the V15 screen
image can be sent to additional display devices, allowing videos,
PowerPoint presentations, annotation, and other on-screen media to be
shared with a live audience.

DigitalMedia

™[2]

DigitalMedia (DM®) connectivity opens up new ways to configure a touch

screen control system. For instance, using a DM switcher such as the

DM-MD8X8

[1]

, multiple V15 touch screens can be connected to a single
DGE, providing a simple, cost-effective way for multiple participants to
view and control the same graphical interface. DigitalMedia also provides a
versatile means for distributing touch screen content to additional display
devices and sound systems to serve a larger audience.

The V15 features a DM CAT type input, supporting the direct connection
to a Digital Graphics Engine model DGE-1 or DGE-2. It can also connect to
any DM switcher or transmitter equipped with a DM CAT output. A single
DigitalMedia cable carries all video, audio, Ethernet, USB, control, and
power signals up to 300 ft (91 m).

DVPHD Integration

[8]

[5]

In addition to the DGE-1 and 2, V-Panel is also compatible with the award­winning DVPHD High-Definition Digital Video Processor

[1]

, enabling the
display of up to 8 simultaneous video windows along with HD touch screen
graphics and annotation. The DVPHD supports high-definition video and
computer signals from a wide variety of digital and analog sources. Its DVI
output connects to the V15 via a DM CAT transmitter or
DigitalMedia switcher.
