Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000 15 Inch Tilt Touchpanel
15 Inch Tilt Touchpanel:
Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000
Introduction
Features and Functions
The TPS-6000 packs all the power and performance of an Isys panel in a stylish tilt
model. These units are suitable for tabletop mounting in any Crestron®control
system (herein referred to as the Cresnet®system) and are perfect for the conference
room or home theater.
Featuring a 15-inch (38.1 cm) active matrix display, the TPS-6000 uses the 65,536-
color Isys engine that allows all graphics to be displayed with incredible brightness
and depth.

15 Inch Tilt Touchpanel Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000
TPS-6000 Functional Summary (continued)
• Local RS-232 port for console control; adds ability to upload firmware
or touchpanel projects
• Wireless operation with optional TPS-XTXRF
• Pop-up sub pages 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
Multiple graphics can be displayed on the TPS-6000 without any shift in color depth
or quality. The touchpanel can support real-time video with the optional
TPS-VID-1 or TPS-VID-2 cards, RGB computer graphics with the optional
TPS-XVGA RGB Interface card, and 10/100 BaseT TCP/IP network
communications with the optional TPS-ENET Ethernet module.
The TPS-6000’s audio capabilities include stereo audio speakers that offer volume
control, a built-in microphone with line-level output, built-in WAV sound file
capability and line-level input for other audio sources.
The purpose of the TPS-6000 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-6000 has the ability to transmit touch coordinates when "RS-232 Port for
Touch Output" is selected. Currently Telestrator devices are supported on the
TPS-6000. Refer to the "RS-232 Menu" section of "Configuring the Touchpanel" on
page 14 and “Appendix B: Configuring the RS-232 Port for Use” on page 49 for
instructions on selecting this feature.

2 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.
3 Crestron 2-Series control systems include the AV2, CP2, CP2E, MP2, MP2E, PAC2, PRO2, and
RACK2.
4 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).
5 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.
6 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 TPS-6000 when
using these control systems, use the RS-232 port on the TPS-6000 or use a direct Ethernet
connection to the panel (assuming the TPS-ENET is installed).
7 WAV files reside in the touchpanel’s Flash memory and will affect the amount of available space for
touchpanel screens.
8 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
may be required to register to obtain access to certain areas of the site (including the
FTP site).

Expansion Slots
The TPS-6000’s functionality can be expanded by installing optional cards into the
expansion slots. Each card has a specific function and is sold separately. Installation
instructions are provided with each card. The available cards for the TPS-6000 are:
• TPS-ENET – a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet card provides Ethernet
capability to the touchpanel.
• TPS-VID-1/TPS-VID-2 – a TV video digitizer card that allows
NTSC/PAL video to be played in a window on the touchpanel or full
screen. The TPS-VID-2 adds the capability of displaying two
composite video sources.
• TPS-XVGA – a RGB digitizer that scan converts a computer source up
to 1600 x 1200 at 85 Hz (110 Hz @ 640 x 480) vertical rate to a
window on the touchpanel or full screen.
NOTE: The three cards are NOT interchangeable and can only be installed in their
dedicated expansion slots.
