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. For controlling home
theater, multimedia presentation, audio, video, lighting, HVAC and other systems,
Crestron touch screens are fully customizable with easy to use controls and icons,
true feedback and real time status display, full-motion video windows and advanced
navigation of digital media servers, tuners and other devices.
Powered by Core 3
Crestron touch screens have always offered the ultimate user experience. With Core
3 UI, they also deliver the ultimate value, enabling the creation of dynamically rich
user interfaces with incredible efficiency and unparalleled functionality. User Core 3
UI, 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.
Some Core 3 UI 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 assign assets
to rooms.
• Desktop widgets personalize the touch screen with animated clocks,
calendars, 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.
• Smart resizing scales objects perfectly and instantly for faster GUI
development, even across different sized touch screens.

cameras and other video sources over the network right on the touch screen. Native
support for H.264 and MJPEG formats allows the TPMC-9L to display live video
images from Web cameras and servers such as the Crestron CEN-NVS200 Network
Video Streamer (sold separately). A wired video input is also provided to allow
viewing of a composite video source. Video images can be displayed full frame or in
fully scalable windows anywhere on the touch screen.

Rava SIP Intercom
Rava SIP Intercom technology enables hands free VoIP communication between any
two Rava-enabled Crestron touch screens. Rava works over Ethernet, supporting
2-way intercom, video intercom*, paging and room monitoring without any special
wiring. VoIP phone capability is also possible through integration with a
SIP-compatible IP phone system or SIP server, allowing hands free telephone
functionality complete with speed dialing, caller ID, custom ringers and other
enhancements. Built-in echo cancellation affords true duplex performance for clear,
seamless voice communication using the TPMC-9L’s integrated microphone and
speakers.

Customized WAV files can be loaded on the TPMC-9L to add another dimension to
the touch screen graphics using personalized sounds, button feedback and voice
prompts.
Push Button Options
The TPMC-9L features a faceplate containing 12 programmable “hard key” push
buttons, elegantly trimmed by illuminated button dividers. Integral to the faceplate,
the push buttons are positioned along the left and right edges of the touch screen,

of the buttons is available, with a choice of solid or backlit text. A plain, no-button
faceplate is also included, allowing a very clean appearance with no push buttons.

The TPMC-9L maintains optimal visibility under varying lighting conditions,
adjusting its button backlighting and display brightness smoothly and automatically
according to changes in the ambient light level in the room.

easy network integration and seamless communications with Crestron control
systems and other network devices.
