2.8 or higher.
Overview
The Total Presentation Interface - Pro Edition (TPI-Pro) (FIG. 1) is a touch panel
interface that supports AMX's 4th generation graphics (G4) consisting of both
rich colors and support for high-contrast images. This G4 interface device is
capable of mixing Video/RGB inputs and then combining those inputs with
graphics, which can then be displayed on a variety of monitors. The TPI-Pro can
scale and merge up to four video sources onto two simultaneous outputs.

Total Presentation Interface - Pro Edition
Disconnecting or reconnecting USB devices from the TPI-Pro front panel
may result in a loss of connectivity. If this occurs, resetting the unit will allow
the devices to re-establish connectivity.
Setting up the TPI-Pro for Communication
Step 1: Wiring the TPI-Pro
1. Discharge any acquired static electricity by touching a grounded metal
object.
2. Disconnect any incoming power connector from the rear of the TPI-Pro.
- A PSN supplies power to the TPI-Pro through a 3.5 mm mini 2-pin Phoenix
connector. The incoming PWR and GND cable from a PSN power supply must
be connected to the corresponding location on the rear TPI-Pro mini 2-pin PWR
connector.
3. Connect the touch input cables from the touch monitor into the Touch Input
Port on the rear of the unit. This cable sends the touch input coordinates
from the touch panel to the TPI-Pro. When using a CRT monitor, use the
NullTouch driver.
4. Connect an HD-15 video cable from the video inputs to the HD-15 source
inputs on the rear of the TPI-Pro.
5. Connect an HD-15 video cable from the touch monitor to the HD-15 VGA
Output Port on the rear of the TPI-Pro.
6. Connect any related USB devices to the rear of the unit.
7. Connect the power cable to the touch monitor (or other monitor type).
8. Connect the terminal-end of the power cable into an outlet to power-up the
touch device.
9. Connect an RJ-45 10/100baseT Ethernet connector to the Ethernet port.
10. Connect the terminal end of the Ethernet (to an Ethernet Hub) cable to its
respective location.
11. Connect the incoming PSN power connector to the 12 VDC power
connector on the rear of the unit.
12. Power on the unit.
Note: Verify that all rear connectors are connected prior to the unit being
installed onto a surface or within an equipment rack. Once the TPI-Pro has been
configured, connected, and installed properly; you can then provide power.
Note: The factory-shipped default resolution of the TPI-Pro is
1280x1024@60Hz. If your panel doesn't match the initial TPI-Pro output
resolution, the following procedures must be done to manually "sync-up" both
device settings.
Step 2: Setting the Output Resolution on the TPI-Pro
1. Firmly press the front TPI-Pro RESOLUTION button. This single press
opens the Resolution Setup page (FIG. 2) on the panel.
FIG. 2 Resolution Setup page (showing the comparative resolutions)
Selections originate at a 1280x1024@60Hz display option and with every
consecutive single push of the RESOLUTION button, the TPI-Pro resolution
increases to a maximum output of 1920x1200@60Hz.
2. Firmly press the RESOLUTION button again to cycle through the available
resolution settings.
• Every consecutive button push cycles the output resolution to the next
highest available setting.
• A double-push of the RESOLUTION button adjusts the resolution to the
previous setting. The following list describes the available pixel display and
refresh rates.
