Crestron TPMC-CH-IMC Interface Module
Interface Module: TPMC-CH-IMC
Introduction
Features & Functions
The TPMC-CH-IMC is an interface module designed for, and included
with the Crestron TPMC-15-CH and TPMC-17-CH tilt touchpanel media
centers. The interface module expands the configuration possibilities of
the TPMC-15-CH and the TPMC-17-CH by allowing unbalanced video
signals (via BNC) and balanced/unbalanced audio signals to be
connected to the touchpanel’s CAT5 inputs and outputs. This device can
also be used to convert sources to CAT5 for use with other Crestron
CAT5 devices such as the CNXRMCLV Enhanced Room Solution Box.

Interface Module Crestron TPMC-CH-IMC
Physical Description
The TPMC-CH-IMC, shown in the following diagram, is supplied with
the TPMC-15-CH and TPMC-17-CH tilt touchpanel media centers. The
module is housed in a black enclosure with a silk-screened top panel. A
Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicating power, a network connector, and
connectors for video input, audio input, and audio output are located on
one side of the unit. The opposite side provides an RJ-45 video output
connector, an RJ-45 audio input/output connector and a network
connector to the touchpanel. The TPMC-CH-IMC also has a mounting
flange to secure the unit to a mounting surface or the rear of a rack. A
15-foot (4.6 meter) “triamese” cable with connections for network
communications and CAT5 audio and video to the touchpanel is included
with the TPMC-15-CH and TPMC-17-CH touchpanels.

Ports
There are seven ports that serve various functions on the
TPMC-CH-IMC. Refer to the following diagrams and descriptions of
each port.
NET
This 4-position mini-terminal block connector is used to connect to other
Cresnet peripherals in a system. Another NET connector is located on the
other side of the module. Data and power for the TPMC-CH-IMC are
provided via either connection.
If making network connections to a control system or Cresnet
peripherals, refer to “Network Wiring” on page 8.

VIDEO
The video input consists of three BNC connectors for unbalanced video
signals. The component, composite or S-video input signal from an
external video source is connected to these ports.
AUDIO IN
The 5-position mini-terminal block connector mates with the included
connector which is wired to an external audio source and provides
balanced and/or unbalanced audio input. Description of the pinouts is
