Wav File Audio Messages - Crestron TPS-2000L Operation Manual

5 Inch Lectern/Wall Mount Touchpanel
Multi-mode objects offer high-
performance programming!
22 • 5 Inch Lectern/Wall Mount Touchpanel: TPS-2000L
touchpanel uses the programmed project until another set is uploaded from the PC.
The PC may be disconnected from the rack or panel except during reprogramming.
VT Pro-e also allows users the option to generate projects destined for web browsers
rather than for physical touchpanels.
For additional software information, refer to the help file provided with the software.
The latest version of VT Pro-e can be obtained from the Downloads | Software
Updates section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
Multi-Mode Objects
The single most-advanced VT Pro-e high-performance programming technique
involving the TPS-2000L is the concept of multi-mode objects. A multi-mode object
(i.e., button, legend, etc.) is an object drawn on a VT Pro-e page that can have one or
more active and inactive visible settings (modes).
For examples, refer to the MULTI-MODE_OBJECT_EXAMPLES_OF_VTPRO-
E_PROJECTS_USE_WITH_ISYS_TOUCHPANELS.ZIP file. It is available from
the Crestron FTP site (ftp://ftp.crestron.com/Examples). This file contains the VT
Pro-e touchpanel files and SIMPL Windows files that illustrate the high-performance
capabilities of multi-mode objects.

WAV File Audio Messages

The TPS-2000L is capable of playing audio messages as system prompts and
responses. These files are recorded as WAV files on a PC using an audio utility such
as Sound Recorder that is packaged with Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me/XP/NT/
2000™. Files from other sources may also be converted to an acceptable format by
using this or a similar utility. Many other audio utilities are available commercially
or as shareware. The TPS-2000L touchpanel only accepts the following WAV file
format: PCM, 8KHz, mono, 8 bit. For more information about how to use Sound
Recorder, refer to its User's Guide and extensive help information provided with the
software. Also refer to the help file in VT Pro-e to learn how to use its audio tool,
Sound Manager, to attach WAV files to a touchpanel project.
Pre-recorded WAV files for voice prompts and responses are available from
Crestron. These files can be stored into and programmed for use in the touchpanel
directly or may be edited with the Sound Recorder. For example, the individual files
can be combined to create custom messages.
NOTE: WAV files (for the TPS-2000L touchpanel) can be obtained from the Wave
LC Library of the Crestron FTP site
Since the CT/LC-1000 touchpanel accepts the same WAV file formats, only use
those WAV files designated for the CT/LC-1000, TPS-2000L, or TPS-3000
touchpanels. These WAV files are different than those made available for the
CNXTA, Crestron CNX Telephone Audio Interface Card.
Sound Manager
NOTE: If keyclick is enabled on a touchpanel, each press of the touchpanel screen
results in an audible click. It may be desirable to conceal the keyclick sound for
certain buttons (e.g., if the button triggers playing of a WAV file). Using VT Pro-e,
the panel designer has the option to suppress the keyclick on a button-by-button basis
from the "Button Properties" window.
