Crestron Isys™ TPS-5000
Multi-mode objects offer high-
performance programming!
Operations Guide - DOC. 5863A
NOTE: The following are acceptable file extensions for programs that include a
TPS-5000:
.vtp projectname.vtp (VT Pro-e source file)
.vtz projectname.vtz (compiled file)
Multi-Mode Objects
The single most-advanced VT Pro-e high-performance programming technique
involving the TPS-5000 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-5000 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-5000 touchpanel only accepts the following WAV file
format: PCM, 8, 11, 16, 22, or 44kHz, mono or stereo, 8 or 16 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-5000 touchpanel) can be obtained from the
Crestron FTP site (ftp.crestron.com/Wave
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-5000
touchpanels. These WAV files are different than those made available for the
CNXTA, Crestron CNX Telephone Audio Interface Card.
NOTE: WAV files reside in the touchpanel's Flash memory and will affect the
amount of available space for touchpanel screens.
Sound Manager
NOTE: If keyclick is enabled on a touchpanel, each press of the touchpanel 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.
