10.4" Lectern/Wall Mount Touchpanel
Multi-mode objects offer high-
performance programming!
28 • 10.4 Inch Lectern/Wall Mount Touchpanel: Crestron Isys® TPS-4000L
control the looping and timing of animation sequences locally, independent of a
control system program. Local logic can also be used to quickly create a QWERTY-
style keyboard without defining the function of each keyboard button in a control
system program. Local logic is also capable of controlling the display of sub-pages
within a touchpanel project. Animation sequences, keyboard layouts, and sub-pages
that are stored locally will continue to function even when the touchpanel is not
connected to Cresnet. To utilize local logic features, you must use VT Pro-e version
3.3.1.2 or later and Isys touchpanel firmware 2.006.0956 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-4000L:
.VT P projectname.VT P (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-4000L 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_VT PRO-
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-4000L 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-4000L 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.
NOTE: WAV files (for the TPS-4000L 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, TPS-3000, or
TPS-4000L touchpanels. These WAV files are different than those made available
for the CNXTA, Crestron CNX Telephone Audio Interface Card.
