This eight-pin RJ-45 connection provides connectivity to the CNX-PVID or the TPMC-CH-IMC interface module. This port provides component, composite or S-video balanced input to the touchpanel over Crestron Certified Wiring. Description of the pinouts is shown in the following table. A cable for this connection is provided with the touchpanel.

AUDIO I/O This 8-pin RJ-45 connector provides connectivity to the CNX-BIPAD or with the TPMC-CH-IMC interface module. This port uses Crestron Certified Wiring and provides audio input to the touchpanel and microphone output from the touchpanel. A description of the pinouts is shown in the following table.
Cresnet cable must account for limits based upon the touchpanel power requirements. Refer to the latest version of the TPMC-CH-IMC Interface Module Operations Guide (Doc. 6345) available on the Crestron website and “Network Wiring” on page 15. Tilt Angle Tension Adjustment Use a 5/32 inch socket (supplied by other) with a hex drive key (Allen wrench) to increase or decrease pivot tension at the base of the touchscreen.
Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is a home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port, the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be used in the following equation to calculate the cable length value on the equation’s left side.
The aggregate cable length of a signal path originating at a QM transmitter and terminating at the TPS-12B/W, TPS-15B/W & TPS-17B/W must not exceed 328 feet (100 meters). Video signals may experience a loss of quality over very long lengths of cable.
The MAIN MENU for configuring the touchpanel appears when a finger is held to the touchscreen as power is applied, or after the hardware reset button is pressed and released.
