MediaMarker

Crestron's MediaMarker software is used to create, organize and save presentations.
A presenter can devise an entire lecture or demonstration and save it to the notebook.
At the presenter's discretion, the audience may view the presentation complete with
annotation in real-time.
MediaMarker can be used with the TPMC-15, TPMC-17, or on a personal computer.
In addition to containing the tools required for object creation, MediaMarker can
import graphics and text from many other applications. Importable objects include:
HTML, JPG, BMP, PNG, and TIF.
MediaMarker projects can be saved and retrieved to disk or to a "notebook" (Export
and Import functions in the File menu).
File | Export Project – Archives the project into one file.
File | Import Project – Opens and extracts all files from a previously exported
project into an active folder.
NOTE: When saving a project, the background images are stored as external
graphic files. The graphic file type (HTML, JPG, BMP, PNG, and TIF) can be set
within Edit | Preferences | Application Settings.
Additional information is available in the MediaMarker help file.

Security Infrastructure

Since the TPMC-15/17 does not use a traditional hard drive, but rather an image that
gets restored every time the touchpanel is rebooted, any virus infection is cleared
immediately after a reboot. However, using the currently available tools and
techniques, Crestron has provided an infrastructure that protects against possible
virus infections.
1. Executables/Scripts brought in on external media
The implementation of the TPMC-15/17 series has restrictions on starting
any application or script. The only applications that can be started are those
allowed by Crestron, and these can only be started from the Crestron
project.
2. Downloaded Program/Script
The browser is customized in such a way that files cannot be downloaded.
The only files the browser can open are the files it has plug-ins for, such as
PDF, etc. The user cannot change the options, as this dialog box has been
disabled.
3. Browser Hijack and Browser vulnerability
Crestron has patched all currently known hijacks and vulnerabilities. Future
updates can be downloaded from the Crestron website.
4. Email Viruses
There is no e-mail client installed on the TPMC-15/17, so email-based
viruses cannot be executed.
