wireless pen or your finger to annotate freely over the presentation video. Two high-
resolution RGB outputs provide separately controlled signals for the DTT touchpanel
graphical user interface (Output A) and the audience display (Output B). Other third
party touchpanels can be used with the UPX-2 as well. Refer to "Touch Screen" on
page 30 or contact Crestron for more information.
The built-in MediaMarker annotation capability allows the presenter to draw or write
electronically on the DTT touchpanel display with the precision of a handheld pen,
drawing freehand on a blank screen, highlighting points over a still image or motion
video, or making notes on a computer-based spreadsheet. At all times the presenter
has full control over the entire presentation and controls what the audience sees, and
can save screen images in JPEG, BMP, PNG, and HTML to a network drive, a
portable flash card inserted into one of the two front panel PC card ports, or a USB
drive. All annotation processing is built into the UPX-2, so there is no need to
connect additional boxes or load any special software.
With embedded PC applications including Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer,
NetMeeting, RealPlayer, Remote Desktop, Java Runtime, and viewers for Microsoft
PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and Adobe Acrobat files, the UPX-2 serves as a powerful
multimedia presentation source without necessitating a separate computer. The Intel
®
Celeron A based PC inside the UPX-2 delivers reliable PC performance running
under the Windows XP Embedded operating system.
NOTE: RealPlayer, Remote Desktop, and Java Runtime capabilities are only
included on UPX-2s with the 1GB compact flash operating system. Users with the
512MB compact flash operating system can upgrade to the 1GB compact flash by
ordering either Crestron part number UPX-OS1GB or part number
UPX-OS1GB-MSO. For ordering information, contact Crestron.
The UPX-2 includes complete connectivity plus support for peripherals through a
single USB 2.0 port and two PC Card slots on the front panel, with two PS/2
three USB 2.0 ports, and one IEEE 1394 port on the rear panel.
The UPX-2 is also enabled to control other connected computers. The Crestron
exclusive "Touch the PC" technology allows real time touchpanel navigation of any
Windows PC through a direct high-speed serial connection. One bi-directional COM
port is provided to support the Touch the PC functionality, or allow connection to
control a third-party device via RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. The AUX COM port is
used for communications with Crestron Toolbox and sending touchpanel programs.
The UPX-2 supports the display of up to three simultaneous, unique scalable source
windows on a single DualTouch Technology touchpanel. Up to six video inputs and
two RGB/computer inputs may be selectively routed to any of the three on-screen
windows. You can connect up to six video sources (if all are composite), and you can
show up to three windows simultaneously onscreen, however only two video sources
and one RGB source or two RGB sources and one video source can be displayed at
one time. More precisely, you can display up to three windows showing any
combination of up to two video sources (one of which can be HDTV), and up to two
computer sources. The built-in seamless video switcher accepts inputs from
NTSC/PAL composite, S-video, and component video sources, and includes support
for all popular HDTV formats.
Two high-resolution RGB outputs are provided. Output A normally connects to a
DTT-15V2 or DTT-17 touchpanel (or other third party devices) to display the
graphical user interface (GUI) that contains the AV controls, pop-up PC applications,
and up to three video/RGB windows. Output B connects to a projector or plasma
display and may be selected to view the same GUI as the touchpanel (with some
control tool icons hidden) or a full screen image of any input source or internal PC
