progressive scan HDTV), and non-interlaced RGB computer signals from any of
Crestron's MediaManager line of FlipTop Boxes, Wall Plates, or Distribution
Centers. The QM-L versions also have a QM output for connection to a QM receiver
or switcher.
CH-L versions feature two balanced video inputs for receiving component, S-video,
and NTSC/PAL composite sources, including HDTV signals from a Crestron
CNX-PVID device (or similar Crestron CAT5 video source) and one balanced audio
input for receiving audio signals from a Crestron CNX-BIPAD8 (or similar Crestron
CAT5 audio source). The CH-L version is also equipped with balanced output for
microphone audio that can be connected to a Crestron CNX-BIPAD8 or similar
Crestron CAT5 audio receiver.
With either a 15-inch (38.1 cm) (TPMC-15 series) or a 17-inch (43.2 cm) widescreen
(15:9 aspect ratio) active matrix color display (TPMC-17 series), these media centers
can display up to 16.7 million colors at up to 1280 x 768 resolution (TPMC-17 series
only), allowing all graphics to be displayed with incredible brightness and depth.
These touchpanels feature PNG image support, which enables translucent objects to
be placed over still images (such as background). The Dynamic Graphics feature
enables the display of images (pictures, CD cover art, etc.) that are hosted externally
on a flash memory card or media server. Multiple graphics can be displayed on these
touchpanels without any shift in color depth or quality. CH-L versions of these
touchpanels can display two real-time video signals from any Crestron balanced
video distribution product or any balanced video, S-video or composite video source.
QM-L versions can display two real-time video/RGB signals from two QM
transmitters.
For information on programming the TPMC-15/17 series, refer to the latest version
of the Crestron Isys i/O™ TPMC-15 & TPMC-17 Series Programming Guide (Doc.
6350) which can be downloaded from the Crestron website
(http://www.crestron.com/manuals).
The purpose of these touchpanels is to provide a complete presentation solution
integrating conventional AV control with embedded PC applications for browsing
the Internet and presenting a full range of multimedia content.
Sound & Video
The TPMC-15/17 feature a built-in, biamplified speaker system and a headphone
jack. Sound can be generated by the touchpanel using downloaded wave files
(.WAV), a PC application, or can be mixed in from an external line level audio
source (CH-L versions) or a QM input (QM-L versions only). The audio amplifiers
output 5 Watts to a biamplified 2-way speaker system (mono). Refer to the latest
version of the Crestron Isys i/O™ TPMC-15 & TPMC-17 Series Programming
Guide (Doc. 6350) for WAV file details.
CH-L versions amplify the built-in microphone to produce a line level differential
output. QM-L versions transmit the microphone output and PC audio for
transmission through the QM output.
The TPMC-15/17 can display up to two scaleable video windows, enabling the
simultaneous display of any two full motion video. QM-L versions can also send
RGB computer images to the video windows. Discrete video scalers are employed
with motion adaptive deinterlacing to bring out the highest detail by minimizing
visible scan lines and motion artifacts. Automatic source identification assigns the
optimum deinterlacing algorithm and applies 3:2 (NTSC) and 2:2 (PAL) reverse
pulldown based upon the input signal.
