TPS-4500V & TPS-4500LV
Introduction
Features and Functions
The TPS-4500V and TPS-4500LV (known collectively as the TPS-4500V/LV) series
packs all the power and performance of a Crestron Isys™ touchpanel in a stylish tilt
or lectern model. Its size and capabilities make it perfect for the conference room and
home theater.
TPS-4500V/LV Functional Summary
• 12" (30.5 cm) diagonal active matrix color display
• 800 x 600 native screen resolution
• 16 Bit non-palette graphics, over 64,000 colors
• 4 Mb of Flash, expandable to 32 Mb with Crestron®plug-in memory
modules & 8 Mb of DRAM memory
• Displays one NTSC/PAL/S-video/composite video source with 262,142
colors with the built-in TPS-VID/L-1 video card
• Up to 4,000 digital and analog signal joins; Up to 999 serial signal joins
• Local RS-232 port for console control
• Pop-up sub panels to reduce memory requirements, providing optimal
speed and performance
• Multiple button, slider control, and icon configurations, including
multi-mode objects
• Fast graphics performance: imported photographs, drawings, and icons
• Support for downloadable fonts – proportional and non-proportional
• Foreign language text
• Position Lock feature provides durable support of panel at any angle of
inclination between 30 and 80 degrees (TPS-4500V only)
The TPS-4500LV is available in two different colors: black, or white. The suffixes
‘B’ or ‘W’ respectively denotes color; i.e. TPS-4500LVB is a touchpanel with a
black faceplate. For simplicity within this guide, color suffix is omitted. The TPS-
4500 is black.

12 Inch Tilt/Lectern Touchpanels Crestron TPS-4500V & TPS-4500LV
Featuring a 12-inch (30.5 cm) active matrix display the TPS-4500V/LV uses the
65,536-color Isys engine, which allows all graphics to be displayed with incredible
brightness and depth.
Multiple graphics can be displayed on the TPS-4500V/LV without any shift in color
depth or quality. The touchpanel supports real-time video with the built-in
TPS-VID-1 (VIDL-1 for the 4500LV) video digitizer card.
The purpose of the TPS-4500V/LV 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. Thus, a very large
number of functions can be made available to the user without the confusion
associated with hardware panels of that complexity. Icons, graphics, and text can
dramatically increase any user's comprehension of the control environment. Devices,
functions, and control zones are quickly organized and more easily accessed.
The TPS-4500V/LV has the ability to transmit touch coordinates when “RS-232 Port
for Touch Output” is selected. Currently Telestrator devices are supported on the
TPS-4500V/LV. Refer to the “RS-232 Menu” section of “Configuring the
Touchpanel” on page 13 and “Appendix C: Configuring the RS-232 Port for Use”
on page 45 for instructions on selecting this feature.

1 The latest versions can be obtained from the Downloads | Software Updates section of the Crestron
website (www.crestron.com). Refer to NOTE after last footnote.
2 Crestron 2-Series control systems include the AV2, CP2, CP2E, MP2, MP2E, PAC2, PRO2, and
RACK2.
3 CNX update files are required for either CNMSX-AV/PRO or CNRACKX/-DP. Filenames for CNX
update files have a UPZ extension and ST-CP files are in one EXE or zipped UPZ file. To avoid
program problems, make certain you are using the update file with the correct suffix letter (e.g., S,
V, W, X).
4 When loading VT Pro-e files or firmware through the RS-232 port of the control system, be sure that
the baud rate is at 38400 (Cresnet speed) or lower. Otherwise, the Viewport may post the "Transfer
Failed" message.
5 These control systems do not support loading of firmware or VT Pro-e files to the TPS-series panels
through the RS-232 port of the control system. In order to load these files to the touchpanel when
using these control systems use the RS-232 port on the TPS-4500V/LV.
6 Additional Flash memory can be purchased, refer to “Memory” on page 7. The complexity of the
control screens and the sampling of the WAV files influence memory usage.
NOTE: Crestron software and any files on the website are for Authorized Crestron
dealers and Crestron Authorized Independent Programmers (CAIP) only. New users
