Touch Screen Control
Crestron touch screens offer an ideal user interface for multimedia presentation,
home automation and much more, providing a wide open canvas for the creation of
custom control screens tailored to the needs of the end user. Touch screens do away
with piles of remote controls, cryptic control panels and cluttered wall switches,
simultaneously expanding and simplifying control over a broad range of complex
devices and systems.
Embedded PC
The power of the TPMC-12 is in its embedded PC engine, combining rock solid
touch screen performance with built-in Windows Media®Player and RealPlayer®,
Internet Explorer®, Adobe®Acrobat®Reader and Microsoft®Word, Excel®and
PowerPoint®document viewers. While simultaneously controlling your home,
boardroom or lecture hall, the TPMC-12 provides everything needed for enjoying
online music and movies, viewing Web pages and accessing most types of digital
media without necessitating a separate computer.
VNC Viewer support delivers enhanced cross-platform interaction with remote
computers over the network or Internet, allowing access and control of desktop
applications with live presentation capability.
Built on the Windows®XP Embedded operating system, the TPMC-12 delivers a
powerful and secure platform for touch screen control with integrated PC
capabilities. Programmatic control erases the lines between control system and PC,
allowing programmers to customize each application’s behavior within the touch
screen environment to create a truly powerful and user-friendly interface.
Integrated Video
For presentation preview, surveillance or pure entertainment, the TPMC-12 provides
multiple ways to view video signals from security cameras, movies and other sources
right on the touch screen. Video images can be displayed full screen as well as in a
fully scalable window. High quality, full motion video is supported via a direct wire
connection from an external AV source. Streaming video is also supported in a
variety of formats over the LAN connection, enabling access to everything from
online streaming videos to personal media servers to live Web cameras and servers
like the Crestron CEN-NVS200 (sold separately).
Interactive Annotation
Built-in annotation capability allows presenters to write or draw over video images
right on the touch screen using a finger or stylus. Remote annotation capability
allows multiple touch screen users to draw over the same image, supporting
interactive annotation between several participants in a courtroom, classroom or
similar environment.
High Quality Audio
Built-in amplified speakers provide clear audio for external AV sources, streaming
media and internal PC applications and enable two-way intercom and VoIP
communications in combination with the integrated microphone. New Crestron IP
intercom capability facilitates direct screen-to-screen intercom and monitoring right
over the LAN without requiring additional AV wiring. Customized WAV files can
be loaded on the touch screen to add dimension to the touch screen graphics with
personalized sounds, button feedback and voice prompts.

Crestron Home®CAT5 AV
Connecting external audio and video sources to the TPMC-12 is facilitated using
inexpensive CAT5 wire, enabling direct connection to Crestron’s popular CAT5
balanced audio and video distribution switchers. A single video input port accepts
signals from composite, S-video and standard definition component sources over
wiring distances of up to 750 feet (229 meters). A bidirectional audio port receives
stereo program audio and intercom signals and outputs audio from the internal PC
and microphone. To facilitate the connection of conventional video and audio
devices, an external interface module (TPMC-CH-IMC) is included.
QuickMedia®*
The TPMC-12 is also equipped with a single QuickMedia input port. Through
QuickMedia (QM), the TPMC-12 interfaces directly with Crestron’s QM-based
MediaManager products using a single CAT5e type cable. Over wiring distances of
up to 450 feet (137 meters), the QM input port accepts video signals from composite,
S-video and standard definition component sources along with discrete audio signals
from one stereo program source and up to two microphones.
* QuickMedia implementation in this product supports standard definition video only; does not support
HDTV or high resolution RGB.
High Speed Connectivity
Both Cresnet®and high speed Ethernet are standard on the TPMC-12, providing for
easy network integration and seamless communications with Crestron control
systems, media servers and computers. Two USB 2.0 ports are also included on the
rear panel to support a mouse and keyboard and external storage devices.
Slimline Tiltcase Design
The stylish tiltcase housing allows smooth tilt adjustment from 45 to 90 degrees and
features an integral cable strain relief system and rear cover to secure and hide the
connections at the back of the touch screen. Four backlit push buttons are also
provided, allowing for quick access to commonly used functions.

Crestron TPMC-12 Isys®12” Tilt Touch Screen
Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the Cresnet network, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.
CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage
to the equipment. Use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how
much power is needed for the system (www.crestron.com/calculators).
For larger networks, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal
quality.
For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” which starts on page 60.
The TPMC-12 can also use high-speed Ethernet for communications between the
device and a control system, computer, media server and other IP-based devices.
For information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to the
latest version of the Crestron e-ControlReference Guide (Doc. 6052), which is
available from the Crestron Web site (www.crestron.com/manuals).
CAT5 Wiring
Category 5 (CAT5) wiring is a twisted pair cable designed for Ethernet networks.
These networks operate at speeds of up to 100 Megabits per second (Mbps) using the
100BASE-T standard. Crestron takes advantage of this specification for a variety of
audio and video applications.
When using a Crestron wiring solution, the CresCAT-IM (or D) wire can carry audio
and video signals up to 500 feet (152 meters) (observe distance limitations based
upon power consumption for the device in use).
For more information, refer to the latest version of the Crestron CAT5 Wiring
Reference Guide (Doc. 6137), which is available from the Crestron Web site.
QuickMedia Wiring
The Crestron QuickMedia (QM) cable (sold under the name “CresCAT-QM”)
contains one CAT5E cable and one Cresnet cable in Siamese jackets. Installation of
any QM device is as simple as installing CresCAT-QM wires from the output of one
device to the input of another. Installations are flexible, affordable and fast. For more
information, refer to the latest revision of the Crestron MediaManager Applications
Guide (Doc. 6244), which is available from the Crestron Web site.

CresCAT-QM Cable
CresCAT-QM
Cable
NOTE: Do not untwist the two wires in a single pair for more than 1/3-1/2”
(8-12 mm) when making a connection. The twists are critical to canceling out
interference between the wires.
The aggregate cable length of a signal path originating at a QM transmitter and
terminating at a TPMC-12 must not exceed 450 feet (137 meters). Video signals may
experience a loss of quality over very long lengths of cable. This phenomenon is due
to the added resistance and capacitance of longer cable lengths and is not peculiar to
either Crestron and/or QuickMedia systems. To ensure sufficient bandwidth, the
maximum aggregate cable length should not exceed 450 feet. The use of lower-
resolution signals may allow increased cable length but must be tested by the
installer with the sources to be used. The QM pin assignment is based on the
EIA/TIA 568B RJ-45 Jack standard.
NOTE: When transmitting S-video, luminance uses the green video pathway and
chrominance uses the red video pathway. When transmitting composite video, the
signal is carried on the blue video pathway.
NOTE: When using CresCAT-QM wiring, four additional wires are included for
making Cresnet connections.
When connecting multiple QM devices, the route between a QM origination point
(transmitter) and a QM endpoint (receiver) cannot have more than two midpoints
(e.g. QM-MD7x2 or other QM switchers). Refer to the following diagram when
configuring a QM network.
NOTE: The aggregate length from transmitter to receiver cannot have a delay skew
of more than 22 ns.

Identity Code
Net ID The Net ID of the TPMC-12 has been factory set to 03. The Net IDs of multiple
TPMC-12 devices in the same system must be unique. The Net ID is set using the
internal setup menu (refer to “Cresnet” which starts on page 20). Net ID may also be
set from a personal computer (PC) via Crestron Toolbox™ (refer to “Establishing
Communication” on page 55).
When setting the Net ID, consider the following:
• The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL
Windows program.
• Each network device must have a unique Net ID.
For more details, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.
IP ID The IP ID is set within the TPMC-12’s table using Crestron Toolbox. For
information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file. The IP IDs
of multiple TPMC-12 devices in the same system must be unique.
When setting the IP ID, consider the following:
• The IP ID of each unit must match an IP ID specified in the SIMPL
Windows program.
• Each device using IP to communicate with a control system must have a
unique IP ID.
Configuring the Touch Screen
NOTE: The only connection required to configure the touch screen is power
(supplied via Cresnet). Refer to “Hardware Hookup” which starts on page 39 for
details.
NOTE: When booting the TPMC-12, the only USB devices supported are a
keyboard or mouse. Having a USB drive or hub connected will interfere with proper
booting of the touch screen.
