    Description Functional Description The Crestron Isys™ TPS-TPI offers a host of sophisticated capabilities like the other models in the Isys family, however the unit is designed without a display. Its analog XGA resolution output plugs into a plasma screen or large screen projector to create whatever image size is required.
  • Page 6 I/O Connectors All totaled, there are 14 potential I/O connectors available on the TPS-TPI. Five of the 14 connectors are resident on the unit as shipped from Crestron. The remaining nine connectors are optional and require the additional purchase and installation of expansion cards.
  • Page 7 LAN – This port is made available with the purchase and installation of the TPS-ENETL, a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet card.

  • Page 8: Physical Description

    Ears are attached at the shorter sides of the unit. There are three holes per ear for inserting mounting screws. The ears can be removed (six screws) to reduce the size of the TPS-TPI. If the ears are removed, there are rubber feet on the under side of the unit for stabilization on a flat surface.

  • Page 9: Leading Specifications

    These control systems do not support loading of firmware or VT Pro-e files to the TPS-TPI through the RS-232 port of the control system. In order to load these files to the TPS-TPI when using these control systems, either use the RS-232 port on the TPS-TPI or use Ethernet direct to the unit (assuming the TPS-ENETL is installed).
