Extron Electronics TLP 700TV Setup Guide

Setup Guide — TLP 700TV

Overview

The Extron® TLP 700TV is a free-standing TouchLink™ Panel (TLP) that
provides simple and versatile configuration and control for a range of
control systems. The panel can be wall-mounted using the optional
Extron VM 700T mounting plate (part #70‑692‑01) and a third-party VESA
D 75 mm mount kit.

Graphic and text objects are displayed on the screen. Functions
associated with those objects are initiated by touching the screen.

The TLP 700TV communicates with the units that it controls through an Ethernet connection to an IP Link box. An MTP
twisted pair cable allows the screen to be used to preview composite and S-video.

NOTE: The RJ-45 output on the rear panel of the TLP 700TV must be connected to a network switch, hub, or router

that is connected to an Ethernet LAN or the Internet. An Extron IP Link controller must also be connected
to the same network domain. Suggested models include:

• IPL T S series (for example IPL T S4)

• IPL 250

• IPL T CR 48

• IPL T SFI 244

This guide provides instructions for experienced installers to mount and perform initial configuration on the TLP 700TV.
More detailed information can be found in the TLP 700 Series Reference Manual, which is available at www.extron.com.

Base Features

Three adjustable potentiometers in the base that are used
to control sharpness, and gain for both S-video luminance
(Y), and S-video chrominance (C). If a composite video
signal is being used, the gain is controlled by the center
potentiometer (Vid/Y).

To adjust these settings:

1. Apply power to the unit.

2. Provide a video input through the MTP RJ-45 connection.

3. Enter the Setup Menu (see the next page).

4. Navigate to the Video screen and calibrate the video

settings.

Installing the TLP 700TV

The TLP 700TV comes assembled with a stand that allows it to
be placed on any suitable flat surface. If required, secure the
unit to the top of the desk by drilling two holes through the
desk 5.1 inches (13 cm) apart. Insert two 8-32 screws through
the bottom of the desk into the two holes in the base.

NOTES: If you are using the MTP video input, this must

be calibrated before you secure the unit to the
flat surface (see Base Features, above).

If you are using the MTP video input, this must
be calibrated before you secure the unit to the
flat surface (see Base Features, above).

1. For correct operation, connect the power supply provided

to the 2-pole captive screw connector (see l in figure 4).

WARNING: For important information about placing

the power supply, see the Caution in the
Power Connector section of the Reference
Manual.
