TPS-4L
Introduction

Crestron®touchpanels offer an ideal user-interface for controlling everything from
audio distribution to complete home automation, providing a wide-open canvas for
the creation of custom control screens perfectly tailored to the needs of the end-user.

cluttered wall switches, affording true "one-touch" control over a broad range of
complex devices and systems.

Synapse™
Crestron's exclusive synapse image rendering algorithm enables system
programmers to produce amazing graphics - faster and easier. Advanced antialiasing
delivers crisper, sharper objects and text. Enhanced 3D effects add new depth and
style. Since synapse is native to the touchpanel, memory requirements and upload
time are substantially reduced.
Tactile Pushbuttons
Ten programmable "hard" buttons are included for quick pushbutton access to
commonly used functions. Translucent white backlit buttons and a custom
engravable faceplate simplify operation while providing an alluring appearance.
Audio Feedback
Customized WAV files can be loaded on the touchpanel to add dimension to the
touchscreen graphics and pushbuttons with personalized sounds, button feedback,
and voice prompts.
High-Speed Connectivity
Both Cresnet and high-speed Ethernet are standard on the TPS-4L, providing for
easy network integration and seamless communications with Crestron control
systems.
Versatile Flush-Mount Design
The TPS-4L is designed for easy flush-mount installation in a wall, lectern or similar
flat surface. Mounting clips furnished with the TPS-4L facilitate a clean installation
in post-construction drywall and many furniture applications. Additional mounting
options are available.
10 Designer Colors
Optional faceplates are available in a choice of 10 designer colors to match any
décor. Faceplates may be ordered with or without custom engraving.
