The TPS-GA-TPI offers vibrant 24-bit color depth with 8-bit alpha channel
transparency to produce incredible 3D graphics and high-res images. The Isys engine
supports dynamic graphics and text, full-motion animations, multimode objects, and
PNG translucency - all with astonishing speed.
Synapse™
Crestron's exclusive Synapse Image Rendering Algorithm enables system
programmers to produce amazing graphics - faster and easier. Advanced antialiasing
delivers crisper, sharper objects and text. Enhanced 3D effects add new depth and
style. And because Synapse is native to the touchpanel, memory requirements and
upload time are substantially reduced.
Dual-Window HD Video and RGB
The TPS-GA-TPI can simultaneously display two fully-scalable, full-motion video
windows, each supporting standard video, HDTV, and high-resolution RGB signals
from external AV and computer sources. Discrete video scalers with motion adaptive
deinterlacing bring out the highest detail, minimizing visible scan lines and motion
artifacts for a truly remarkable picture. Advanced gamma correction and built-in
time base correction ensure accurate color reproduction and a jitter-free image.
Touch-the-PC
Crestron's exclusive "Touch-the-PC" technology allows real-time touchpanel
navigation of any Windows
®
PC through a direct high-speed serial connection.
Built-in Annotation
Built-in annotation capability allows presenters to write or draw over computer and
video images on the touchscreen using a finger or stylus, and output the image live
for audience display.
Audio Features
An audio output is provided for connection to the display device or separate
amplified speakers, supporting customizable button feedback, personalized sounds,
and voice prompts.
QuickMedia™ Output
A QuickMedia output port is included, allowing for output of the touchscreen image
to feed a remote display device. QuickMedia provides a single-cable solution for
routing the TPS-GA-TPI's display output and audio signals up to 450 feet.
High-Speed Connectivity
Both Cresnet and high-speed Ethernet are standard on the TPS-GA-TPI, providing
for easy network integration and seamless communications with Crestron control
systems.

Isys® G-Series Touchpanel Interface Crestron TPS-GA-TPI
Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the network, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.
CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage
to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate
how much power is needed for the system
(http://www.crestron.com/calculators
• For larger networks, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain
signal quality.
For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” on page 45.
).
Ethernet
The TPS-GA-TPI also uses high-speed Ethernet for communications between the
device and a control system, computer, digital media server and other IP-based
devices.
For information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to the
latest version of the Crestron e-Control
available for download from the Crestron website (www.crestron.com/manuals
Reference Guide (Doc. 6052), which is
).
QuickMedia Wiring
The Crestron QuickMedia cable (sold under the name “CresCAT-QM”) contains one
CAT5E cable and one Cresnet cable in Siamese jackets. Installation of any QM
device is as simple as installing CresCAT-QM wires from the output of one device to
the input of another. Installations are flexible, affordable and fast. For more
information, refer to the latest revision of the Crestron MediaManager Applications
Guide (Doc. 6244), which is available for download from the Crestron website.

Crestron TPS-GA-TPI Isys® G-Series Touchpanel Interface
CresCAT-QM Cable
CresCAT-QM
Cable
NOTE: Do not untwist the two wires in a single pair for more than 1/3-1/2”
(0.84-1.27 cm) when making a connection. The twists are critical to canceling out
interference between the wires.
The aggregate cable length of a signal path originating at the TPS-GA-TPI and
terminating at QM endpoint such as a TPS-12G/15G-QM-L must not exceed 450
feet (137 meters). Video signals may experience a loss of quality over very long
lengths of cable. This phenomenon is due to the added resistance and capacitance of
longer cable lengths and is not peculiar to either Crestron and/or QuickMedia
systems. To ensure sufficient bandwidth, the maximum aggregate cable length
should not exceed 450 feet. The use of lower-resolution signals may allow increased
cable length but must be tested by the installer with the sources to be used. The QM
pin assignment is based on the EIA/TIA 568B RJ-45 Jack standard.
NOTE: When transmitting S-video, luminance uses the green video pathway and
chrominance uses the red video pathway. When transmitting composite video, the
signal is carried on the blue video pathway.
NOTE: When using CresCAT-QM wiring, four additional wires are included for
making Cresnet connections.
When connecting multiple QM devices, the route between a QM origination point
(transmitter) and a QM endpoint (receiver) cannot have more than two midpoints
(e.g. QM-MD7x2 or other QM switchers). Refer to the following diagram when
configuring a QM network.
NOTE: The aggregate length from transmitter to receiver cannot have a delay skew
or more than 22 ns.

Identity Code
The Net ID of the TPS-GA-TPI has been factory set to 03. The Net IDs of multiple
TPS-GA-TPI devices in the same system must be unique. Net IDs are changed from
a personal computer (PC) via the Crestron Toolbox™ (refer to “Establishing
Communication” on page 41).
When setting the Net ID, consider the following:
• The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL
Windows program.
IP ID
• Each network device must have a unique Net ID.
For more details, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.
The IP ID is set within the TPS-GA-TPI’s table using Crestron Toolbox. For
information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file. The IP IDs
of multiple TPS-GA-TPI devices in the same system must be unique.
When setting the IP ID, consider the following:
• The IP ID of each unit must match an IP ID specified in the SIMPL
Windows program.
• Each device using IP to communicate with a control system must have a
unique IP ID.
Configuring the Touchpanel Interface
NOTE: In order to configure the TPS-GA-TPI interface, power (supplied via
Cresnet) and a connection to an external touchpanel or other video device are
required. Refer to “Hardware Hookup” on page 31 for details.

The Cresnet network identity number (Cresnet ID also known as the Net ID) is
displayed on the INTERFACE MENU. Cresnet ID is the two-digit hexadecimal
number. The hexadecimal number can range from 03 to FE and must correspond to
the Net ID set in the SIMPL Windows program of the Cresnet system. Matching IDs
between the TPS-GA-TPI and the SIMPL Windows program is required if data is to
be successfully transferred. Net ID for the TPS-GA-TPI is factory set to 03. No two
devices in the same system can have the same Net ID.

Two buttons adjacent to the Cresnet ID and its displayed hexadecimal number,
Down and Up, decrease and increase the Cresnet ID by one, respectively.
The Ethernet Enable and Disable buttons determine the status of the interface’s
Ethernet communications.
NOTE: The TPS-GA-TPI does not support wireless Ethernet.
There may be Ethernet devices (i.e., a control system) on the network that
communicate with the TPS-GA-TPI via CIP (Cresnet Internet Protocol). The CIP
buttons, located on the INTERFACE MENU, determine if the TPS-GA-TPI is
capable of this type of communication. Select Enable to permit this protocol
recognition and Disable to prohibit any CIP connection. CIP must be enabled for the
TPS-GA-TPI to communicate with other Crestron Ethernet devices.
The four buttons on the bottom define how the RS-232 port can be used; as a console
port (i.e., loading TPS-GA-TPI projects and firmware), a touch output port
(communication of touch coordinates to an external device), a mouse input port
(allows a mouse to control the interface) and an external touch input ( allows another
device to control the touchscreen)

Ventilation
Rack Mounting
Installation
The TPS-GA-TPI should be used in a well-ventilated area. The venting holes should
not be obstructed under any circumstances. If the TPS-GA-TPI is hot to the touch,
consider using forced air ventilation and/or incrementing the spacing between units.
To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds the
environmental temperature range listed in the table of specifications. Consideration
must be given if installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly since the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient
temperature. Contact with thermal insulating materials should be avoided on all sides
of the unit.
The TPS-GA-TPI can be mounted in a rack or stacked with other equipment. Two
“ears” are provided with the TPS-GA-TPI so that the unit can be rack mounted.
These ears must be installed prior to mounting. Complete the following procedure to
attach the ears to the unit. The only tool required is a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a
rack, take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following
guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the
bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
Operations Guide – DOC. 6501 Isys® G-Series Touchpanel Interface: TPS-GA-TPI • 29
Isys® G-Series Touchpanel Interface Crestron TPS-GA-TPI
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
NOTE: If rack mounting is not required, rubber feet are provided for tabletop
mounting or stacking. Apply the feet near the corner edges on the underside of the
unit.
NOTE: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
To install the ears:
1. There are screws that secure each side of the TPS-GA-TPI top cover. Using
a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the three screws closest to the front panel
from one side of the unit. Refer to the diagram following step 3 for a
detailed view.
2. Position a rack ear so that its mounting holes align with the holes vacated
by the screws in step 1.
3. Secure the ear to the unit with three screws from step 1, as shown in the
following diagram.
Stacking
Ear Attachment for Rack Mounting (this image shows a 1RU device)

Earliest Version Software Requirements for the PC
NOTE: Crestron recommends that you use the latest software to take advantage of
the most recently released features. The latest software is available from the Crestron
website.
Crestron has developed an assortment of Windows-based software tools to develop
a Cresnet system. The following are the minimum recommended software versions
for the PC:
Configuration Manager
Software
TASK REQUIRED SOFTWARE VERSION
Program control system to
operate TPS-GA-TPI.
Upload program and firmware. Crestron Toolbox 1.04.15 or later.
For graphical touchscreen
design.
SIMPL Windows version 2.06.16 or later

later and Library update 453 or later. Also
requires Crestron Database version 18.5.0
or later.
Crestron VisionTools® Pro-e version 3.4.0.7
or later.
Programming with SIMPL Windows
SIMPL Windows is Crestron’s premier software for programming Crestron control
systems. It is organized into two separate but equally important “Managers”.
Configuration Manager is the view where programmers “build” a Crestron control
system by selecting hardware from the Device Library.
• To incorporate the TPS-GA-TPI (Cresnet) into the system, drag the
TPS-GA-TPI from the Touchpanels|Touchpanels (Cresnet) folder of the
Device Library and drop it in the System Views.

“TPS-GA-TPI Ethernet Device Settings” Window
• The ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows program must match the Net
ID or IP ID of each unit.
Program Manager
Multi-mode objects offer high-
erformance programming!
Program Manager is the view where programmers “program” a Crestron control
system by assigning signals to symbols. The symbol can be viewed by double
clicking on the icon or dragging it into Detail View. Each signal in the symbol is
described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1).
Programming with VisionTools Pro-e
Touchpanel or display screens should be created in VT Pro-e to allow accessing the
embedded applications, switching of source signals to desired outputs as well as
selection of the system mode. There are no special programming requirements to use
the functions of the TPS-GA-TPI in a room-control system.
Multi-Mode Objects
The single most-advanced VT Pro-e high-performance programming technique
involving the TPS-GA-TPI is the concept of multi-mode objects. A multi-mode
object (i.e., button, legend, etc.) is an object drawn on a VT Pro-e page that can have
one or more active and inactive visible settings (modes).
For examples, refer to http://www.crestron.com/downloads/example_programs.asp
and search for Multi-mode object examples. This file contains the VT Pro-e interface
files and SIMPL Windows files that illustrate the high-performance capabilities of
multi-mode objects.
WAV File Audio Messages
The TPS-GA-TPI interfaces are capable of producing (via headphone jack) or
transmitting (via QuickMedia) audio messages as system prompts and responses.
These files are recorded as WAV files on a PC using an audio utility such as Sound
Recorder that is packaged with Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me/XP/NT/ 2000™. Files
from other sources may also be converted to an acceptable format by using this or a
similar utility. Many other audio utilities are available commercially or as shareware.
The TPS-GA-TPI interfaces only accept the following WAV file format: PCM,
8KHz, mono, 8-bit. For more information about how to use Sound Recorder, refer
Operations Guide – DOC. 6501 Isys® G-Series Touchpanel Interface: TPS-GA-TPI • 37
Isys® G-Series Touchpanel Interface Crestron TPS-GA-TPI
to its User’s Guide and extensive help information provided with the software. Also
refer to the help file in VT Pro-e to learn how to use its audio tool, Sound Manager,
to attach WAV files to an interface project.
Pre-recorded WAV files for voice prompts and responses are available from
Crestron. These files can be stored into and programmed for use in the interfaces
directly or may be edited with the Sound Recorder. For example, the individual files
can be combined to create custom messages.
NOTE: Interface WAV files can be obtained from the Wave LC Library of the
Crestron FTP site.
Bit Depth and File Size
A bit depth refers to the number of memory bits used to store color data for each
pixel in a raster image. A TPS-GA-TPI raster image consists of a rectangular grid of
picture elements (pixels). Each pixel uses the same amount of memory to store its
color data. The amount of memory is called the bit depth of the image.
Greater bit depths are required to represent finer gradations of color. Increasing bit
depth necessarily increases file size. A black and white drawing requires only one bit
per pixel to store all the available color information. Using a 32-bit per pixel bit
depth for a black and white image increases the file size 32 times, without adding
anything to the black and white image quality.
In an 8-bit per pixel system, the associated 8-bits of video memory for every screen
pixel, contains a value referring to a location in an 8-bit color table. In this way, any
one of the specific 256 color table locations is assigned to a pixel.
A 16-bit highcolor system is considered sufficient to provide life-like colors. It is
encoded using 5-bits to represent red, 5-bits to represent blue, but (since the human
eye is more sensitive to the color green) 6-bits to represent 64 levels of green. These
can therefore be combined to provide 65,536 mixed colors (32 x 32 x 64 = 65,536).
In a 24-bit graphics display, the video memory allocates 24 bits for each pixel on the
screen, enabling each pixel to take on any one of a possible 16.7 million colors. Each
24-bit value is composed of 8-bits for red, 8-bits for green, and 8-bits for blue. These
triplets of 8-bit values are also referred to as the red, green, and blue color planes. A
24-bit image is actually composed of three component images, which combine to
create the truecolor picture. The reason this is called truecolor is that this is around
the maximum number of colors the human eye is able to detect.
Truecolor images are sometimes represented by a 32-bit value. The extra 8-bits do
not enhance the precision of the color representation, but act as an alpha channel that
represents pixel translucency. The 32-bit truecolor has become popular on the
computer desktop to provide effects such as translucent windows, fading menus, and
shadows.
In graphics intensive applications, raising or lowering the color depth of the
displayed graphics can achieve a balance of performance and quality. Lower color
depths do not require as much frame buffer memory or display bandwidth, allowing
them to be generated and displayed more quickly. Increasing color depth results in
higher color quality at the expense of display speed and responsiveness. By using a
majority of 8-bit or 16-bit graphics, and holding the 32-bit graphics to a minimum
(ex. for a family photo, etc.), you can create a sophisticated project that will fit in the
memory space provided, and have the interface remain very responsive.

When creating a VT Pro-e project, you can elect to compress and reduce the image
size in the “Page Properties” window for the entire page, and/or perform the same
function of reducing the image size using the “Image Properties” window. A
reduction in image size will save a considerable amount of memory space for your
project.
In VT Pro-e, the Compress checkbox permits the image to be compressed when
compiling. The 16 Bits checkbox converts a 24-bit or 32-bit image to 16 bits. This
conversion to a 16-bit image may cause the loss of some subtle shading. To
compensate for this, use the dithering to simulate the original shading. Various
dithering types are available. Refer to the following illustrations.

MultiByte International Characters
Most languages use a single byte of eight bits to represent a character, e.g. English,
French, German, Hebrew, Russian, Thai, etc.
Multibyte character fonts require more than the usual eight bits to specify a
character. This occurs when a language has more than 256 characters (2
Operations Guide – DOC. 6501 Isys® G-Series Touchpanel Interface: TPS-GA-TPI • 39
8
) in a font.
Isys® G-Series Touchpanel Interface Crestron TPS-GA-TPI
For example, Chinese fonts contain several thousand characters. Other multibyte
languages include Japanese and Korean.
There are two separate applications with multibyte characters – static text on buttons
and indirect text on buttons. No Isys touchpanel or interface firmware changes are
required in either case.
Indirect text on a button is entered in VT Pro-e and the actual string to be displayed
is entered in SIMPL Windows. As of this publication date only completely single
byte or completely multibyte strings may be entered or they will not be compiled
correctly in SIMPL Windows. In other words, you cannot enter Chinese characters
interspersed with numbers. You can enter Chinese characters or numbers in separate
strings or you can pad each number with “\x00” to make it multibyte and then
combine it with Chinese characters in the same string.
Of course you can always use the workaround of showing a graphic that displays the
string but it is not dynamic. To compile and use multibyte characters it is essential
that the operating system understand the language. Windows XP is available in many
international languages and add-on software is available for other versions of
Windows.
Example Program
An example program for the TPS-GA-TPI is available from the Crestron website

Uploading and Upgrading
Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each device
contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features.
However, before attempting to upload or upgrade it is necessary to establish
communication. Once communication has been established, files (for example,
programs, projects or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (and/or
device). Finally, program checks can be performed (such as changing the device ID
or creating an IP table) to ensure proper functioning.
Establishing Communication
Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the TPS-GA-TPI; refer to the
Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There are three methods of communication.
Direct Serial Communication
Indirect Serial Communication

Operations Guide – DOC. 6501 Isys® G-Series Touchpanel Interface: TPS-GA-TPI • 45
In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your installation
topology, Crestron Certified Wire and only Crestron Certified Wire may be used.
Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to identify
performance deficiencies because of using improper wire.
CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to
do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.
CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. Insufficient power can lead to
unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power
Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system
(http://www.crestron.com/calculators).
Isys® G-Series Touchpanel Interface Crestron TPS-GA-TPI
When calculating the length of wire for a particular Cresnet run, the wire gauge and
the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be connected must be taken into
consideration. Use Crestron Certified Wire only. If Cresnet units are to be daisychained on the run, the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be daisychained must be added together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire
chain. If the unit is home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port, the
Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The
wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be used in the following
equation to calculate the cable length value on the equation’s left side.
Cable Length Equation
Strip and Tin Wire
Add Hubs
L = Length of run (or chain) in feet
R = 6 Ohms (Crestron Certified Wire: 18 AWG (0.75 MM ))
or 1.6 Ohms (Cresnet HP: 12 AWG (4 MM ))
P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain)
2
2
L <
40,000
Where:
R x P
Make sure the cable length value is less than the value calculated on the right side of
the equation. For example, a Cresnet run using 18 AWG Crestron Certified Wire and
drawing 20 watts should not have a length of run more than 333 feet. If Cresnet HP
is used for the same run, its length could extend to 1250 feet.
NOTE: All Crestron certified Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One
twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor and the other twisted
pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor.
When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid
nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the
network connector and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends of
the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle.
Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining
screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.
For larger networks (i.e., greater than 28 network devices), it may become necessary
to add a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality throughout the
network. Also, for networks with lengthy cable runs it may be necessary to add a
Hub/Repeater after only 20 devices.
