interfaced with the system and thus cannot initiate any functions. The completed and
compiled project is uploaded to the touchpanel and programmed into the flash
PROM via the File | Upload Project command. The touchpanel uses the
programmed project until another project is uploaded from the PC. Projects cannot
be extracted from the touchpanel. The PC may be disconnected from the control
system 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.
Crestron's Synapse image-rendering algorithm supports advanced anti-aliasing for
crisper, sharper images, as well as new shaded styles for all objects, new frame styles
(neon and raised), and new text styles (embossed, raised, and shadow). The Synapse
algorithm allows the touchpanel to process these styles internally, without the use of
large bitmap files that increase project size and upload time. Synapse delivers high
impact touchpanel graphics more efficiently than ever. To utilize Synapse graphics,
you must use VT Pro-e version 3.1.2.0 or later and Isys touchpanel firmware 2.060.0
or later.
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).
NOTE: The following are acceptable file extensions for programs that include a
TPS-4000:
.vtp projectname.vtp (VT Pro-e source file)
.vtt projectname.vtt (VT Pro-e template file)
.vtz projectname.vtz (compiled file)
Multi-Mode Objects
The single most-advanced VT Pro-e high-performance programming technique
involving the TPS-4000 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.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-4000 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-4000 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.
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.
