Wiring For Pass-Thru Computer Control - AMX Modero NXD/NXT-1200VG Operation/Reference Manual

Touch Panel Accessories
Pass-thru must be enabled to control devices through the NXA-RGB card when using
USB-compatible control devices.
Refer to the following commands to enable pass-thru on the RGB card: ^MPS on
page 222 for Mouse pass-thru and ^KPS on page 222 for the keyboard
pass-thru.
The two available USB input connections on the touch panel can be used to provide either Keyboard
and/or Mouse signals between the PC and the panel. You are no longer limited to one mouse and one
keyboard. You can use USB hubs and multiple mice/keyboards in any configuration.
When setting up pass-thru computer control its important to focus on the following areas:
1.
Properly connect the NXA-AVB/RGB to both a target PC and touch panel using the appropriate cabling.
Refer to the following Wiring for Pass-Thru Computer Control section on page 20 for more detailed
information.
2.
Enable pass-thru via the use of either the ^MPS or ^KPS commands (page 222).
3.
Set up a touch panel page (via TPDesign4) with the necessary Video Fill > (Component/RGB video)
properties selected.
Video Fill allows you to select from a drop-down list of video formats that are supported by the touch
panel specified in your project. VG-Series Modero panels (1200VG, 1500VG and 1700VG) support
Composite video, Component/RGB video, and Streaming video formats.
Note that Streaming Source is only available as a Video Fill option if the project
specifies a touch panel that supports streaming video (NXD/NXT-1200VG,
NXD/NXT-1500VG, and NXD/NXT-1700VG only).
4.
Set up a touch panel page (via TPDesign4) with the necessary Video Touch Pass-thru property (yes)
selected.
Video Pass-Thru allows you to pass touch/control information from a touch input device (touch panel,
mouse or keyboard) through an NXA-AVB/RGB to a controlled device with video-out capabilities. Select
Yes from the drop-down menu to enable video pass-thru (disabled by default). This feature is also used in
conjunction with the ^MPS (mouse pass-thru) and ^KPS (keyboard pass-thru) commands.

Selecting Component/RGB allows you to route a video signal from your computer through the

NXA-AVB/RGB and then to the panel.
Selecting Streaming Video requires that you enter the URL or IP Address of the server that will

provide the video stream.
