Features and Functions
(Continued)
Advanced Touch Screen Control
A Crestron touch screen offers an ideal user interface for controlling all the
technology in a home, boardroom, classroom, courtroom or command center. Touch
screens do away with piles of remote controls, cluttered wall switches and cryptic
computer screens, simplifying and enhancing the technology. Crestron touch screens
are fully customizable for controlling audio, video, lighting, shades, HVAC, security
and other systems, with easy to use controls and icons, true feedback and real time
status display, live streaming video and advanced navigation of digital media servers,
tuners and other devices.
Smart Graphics
Crestron touch screens use Smart Graphics to deliver the ultimate user experience
and the ultimate value, by enabling the creation of dynamically rich user interfaces
with incredible efficiency and unparalleled functionality. Using Smart Graphics,
programmers can swiftly integrate fluid gesture-driven controls, animated feedback,
metadata, embedded apps and full-motion video for a deeply engaging and
ultra-intuitive touch screen experience.
Crestron Smart Graphics include the following enhancements:
•Cool looking graphical buttons, sliders, knobs and gauges are intuitive and
fun to use.
•Kinetic effects enhance the feeling of realism with lists and toolbars that
scroll with momentum at the flick of a fingertip.
•Drag and drop objects snap into place offering an easy way to switch
sources.
•Dashboard widgets personalize the touch screen with clocks, weather, news
and other information.
•Customizable themes allow a completely different look and feel for every
user, event or season.
•Fully developed SmartObjects™ enable sophisticated control over complex
devices with minimal programming. SmartObjects are powerful
Crestron-designed or custom-designed objects created in VT Pro-e®using
Smart Graphics technology. Each SmartObject™ allows programmers to
easily add controls, user presets, and metadata interfaces for everything
from simple keypads to complex media devices and environmental systems.
* Item(s) sold separately.

Crestron TPMC-4SMD 4.3” Designer Touch Screen
•Smart Graphics also includes the Smart Sizing™ feature, which allows the
same user interface to be viewed on different size screens.
White Backlit Buttons
The TPMC-4SMD comes standard with 10 programmable “hard key” push buttons
for quick access to commonly used functions. Each button features a translucent
button cap with white LED backlighting. The backlighting is fully dimmable, either
globally or separately for the left and right side. Alternately, each button LED can be
programmed (via SIMPL Windows) to provide discrete feedback, affording clear
indication of the status of each individual button.
The TPMC-4SMD comes standard with its buttons pre-labeled for typical room
control functions. Customized labeling can be attained using Crestron Engraver
software. For a clean appearance, either column of buttons may be removed and
covered using the no-button covers provided.
Proximity Sensor
The TPMC-4SMD senses as the user approaches it, waking its display automatically
without having to touch the screen so it is always ready for use.
Streaming Video
High performance streaming video capability makes it possible to view security
cameras and other video sources over the network right on the touch screen. Native
support for H.264 and MJPEG formats allows the TPMC-4SMD to display live
video images from IP cameras and servers such as the Crestron CEN-NVS200
Network Video Streamer (sold separately).
IP Intercom
Built-in IP intercom capability facilitates direct touch screen to touch screen
intercom and monitoring right over the LAN without requiring any additional AV
wiring. The TPMC-4SMD features an integrated microphone and speaker for clear
speech communication.
Audio Feedback
Customized audio files can be loaded on the TPMC-4SMD to add another dimension
to its touch screen graphics using personalized sounds, button feedback and voice
prompts.
Single Wire Connectivity
A simple Ethernet LAN connection is all that is required to wire the TPMC-4SMD,
containing all control, video, intercom and power signals in a single wire.
Power over Ethernet
Using PoE technology, the TPMC-4SMD gets its operating power right through the
LAN wiring. PoE eliminates the need for a local power supply or any dedicated
power wiring. A PoE Injector (PWE-4803RU, sold separately) simply connects
inline with the LAN cable, allowing for installation at any convenient location.
Crestron PoE switches (CEN-SW-POE-5, CEN-SWPOE-16 or CEN-SWPOE-24, all
sold separately) may also be used to provide a total networking solution with built-in
PoE.

4.3” Designer Touch Screen Crestron TPMC-4SMD
Occupancy Sensing
Crestron GLS series room occupancy sensors can be connected directly to the
TPMC-4SMD to allow automation of the room’s lighting, climate control and other
devices.
Simple, Versatile Mounting
The TPMC-4SMD installs easily on virtually any mounting surface. As standard, it
mounts directly to a single-gang electrical box (horizontally oriented) or European
electrical box, requiring just 1/2 inch (13 mm) mounting depth while protruding less
than 3/4 inch (19 mm) from the wall surface. It can also be adapted for mounting to a
vertically oriented 1-gang or 2-gang electrical box or a 2-gang UK electrical box,
using the optional WMKU-4SM Universal Mounting Kit1, which can also be used
without an electrical box for a low-profile surface mount solution.2
For impenetrable surfaces, such as decorative glass, granite, marble, plaster, smooth
stone and masonry, Crestron offers the MSMK-4SM Multi-Surface Mount Kit1,
which provides a very versatile mounting solution complete with a low profile rear
shell enclosure, adhesive mounting plate, optional angle bracket and wire raceway.
The TTK-4SM Table Top Kit1converts the TPMC-4SMD into a stylish, compact
tabletop touch screen, perfect for free standing use or permanently mounted on a
tabletop or counter surface.
1. Item(s) sold separately.
2. WMKU-4SM mounting option requires a minimum surface cut out or electrical box opening of 1/7”
(~43 mm) high and 2.0” (~51 mm) wide.

Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the Ethernet 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. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate
how much power is needed for the system (www.crestron.com/calculators).
Unlike other Crestron network devices, the TPMC-4SMD does not use Cresnetfor
communications between the device and the control system. The TPMC-4SMD
requires the use of a high-speed Ethernet connection for control system
communications.
For general information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to
the Crestron e-ControlReference Guide (Doc. 6052) at

Identity Code
NOTE: The latest software can be downloaded from the Crestron Web site
(www.crestron.com/software).
The IP ID is set within the TPMC-4SMD’s IP table using Crestron Toolbox™. For
information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file. The IP IDs
of multiple TPMC-4SMD 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 Crestron
Studio™ or 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. Refer
to “Hardware Hookup” on page 27 for details.
NOTE: The TPMC-4SMD can take up to 45 seconds to boot to a display after
