    12 Inch Tilt/Lectern Touchpanels TPS-4500/L Functional Summary (continued) Multiple graphics can be displayed on the TPS-4500/L without any shift in color depth or quality. The touchpanel can support real-time video with the optional TPS-VID-1/TPS-VIDL-1 or TPS-VID-2/TPS-VIDL-2 cards. The purpose of the TPS-4500/L touchpanel is to replace large, complicated hard- wired panels in either a Cresnet system or an RS-232 system with a series of simpler screens each specific to the control problem at hand.
