Wiring For Pass-Thru Computer Control - AMX NXD-1700VG Instruction Manual

1. Properly connect the NXA-AVB/RGB to both a target PC and touch panel using the appropriate cabling. Refer to the following
Wiring for Pass-Thru Computer Control section on page 26 for more detailed information.
2. Enable pass-thru via the use of either the ^MPS or ^KPS commands (page 174).
3. Set up a touch panel page (via TPDesign4) with the necessary Video Fill > (Component/RGB video) properties selected.
Video Fill allows you to select from a drop-down list of video formats that are supported by the touch panel specified in your
project. VG-Series Modero panels (1200VG, 1500VG and 1700VG) support Composite video, Component/RGB video, and
Streaming video formats.

Selecting Streaming Video requires that you enter the URL or IP Address of the server that will provide the video stream.

NOTE: Note that Streaming Source is only available as a Video Fill option if the project specif ies a touch panel that supports
streaming video (NXD/NXT-1200VG, NXD/NXT-1500VG, and NXD/NXT-1700VG only).
4. Set up a touch panel page (via TPDesign4) with the necessary Video Touch Pass-thru property (yes) selected.
Video Pass-Thru allows you to pass touch/control information from a touch input device (touch panel, mouse or keyboard)
through an NXA-AVB/RGB to a controlled device with video-out capabilities. Select Yes from the drop-down menu to enable
video pass-thru (disabled by default). This feature is also used in conjunction with the ^MPS (mouse pass-thru) and ^KPS
(keyboard pass-thru) commands.

Wiring for Pass-Thru Computer Control

1. Discharge any acquired static electricity by touching a grounded metal object.
2. Turn-off your computer and remove any installed power cables. Review FIG. 7 for an overview of the overall wiring
configuration surrounding pass-thru control.

3. Use an HD-15 video cable to create a connection between the computer's video output connector and the HD-15 D-Sub RGB/
VGA/Component connector on the rear of the NXA-AVB/RGB. This HD-15 D-Sub RGB/VGA/Component connector on the
breakout box is used to route an RGB (computer) or Component (DVD/HDTV) signal to a target Modero panel (using the
internal NXA-RGB card).
4. Use a Type-A to Type-B USB cable to create a connection from USB connector on the computer to the rear Type-B USB device
port input connector on the rear of the NXA-AVB/RGB. This connection routes pass-thru computer control from the touch
panel, to the front RGB RJ-45 connector, and then through the rear USB port to the PC. Touch information is sent to and from
the panel via this two-way connector.
5. Verify the panel has been configured to communicate by connecting an RJ-45 10/100baseT Ethernet connector from the rear
Ethernet port on the breakout box to a valid Ethernet Hub.
6. Connect the incoming power connector to the 12 VDC power connector on the rear of the box.
CAUTION:
7. Use the NXA-MTC/RGB to create a connection between the NXA-AVB/RGB and the target VG-Series touch panel. Refer to the
following NXA-MTC/RGB Combo Table Top Cable (CA2250-70) section on page 27 for more detailed cable information.
8. Connect a USB mouse/keyboard to the available connectors on the target touch panel.
9. Verify a proper installation of all of the RJ-45 and power connectors between the target touch panel and breakout box.
