4Russound TSV-E5 Installation Manual
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The TSV-E5 is a full-featured color touchscreen for Russound E-Series
multiroom systems. It includes a comprehensive suite of features with enhanced
source control functions and display options. Mounting options allow the TSV-E5
to be conveniently located virtually anywhere.
Intended for use as an integrated control interface for the multiroom system,
the TSV-E5 allows complete control of all sources from one location. Its display
is large enough to provide easy access to all system features, yet small enough
to fit most multiroom applications.
For maximum convenience, TSV-E5 touchscreens can be used anywhere
system keypads would be. Using Power over Ethernet (PoE), the TSV-E5
connects with a single CAT-5e cable to provide enhanced information and zone
control.
The touchscreen will also support IR commands sent with the HHR-E5 and
RFR-E5 (in local IR mode) remote controls.
The TSV-E5 offers the following features:
Large-format 8.4" (21.3 cm) color display•
Alarm Clock and Sleep Timer•
IP Camera support•
Connection via single CAT-5e cable•
Remote IR receiver input•
IR pass-through connection with second CAT-5e cable (wall mount only)•
Optional plasma filter•
Unique to the TSV-E5:
Can display digital video feeds from IP-based cameras•
In conjunction with the SMS3, you can add, change, or delete selections•
from pre-existing themes, as well as change the ratings to play songs
more or less often
A number of web widgets to show news, weather and sports•
Very little configuration to function as soon as it is powered up with a•
previously configured ACA-E5 system
Considerations
Images from several models of IP-based cameras can be viewed and
controlled from the TSV-E5. They can be also assigned to two doorbell events
enabling the user to view images from the camera when a doorbell is pressed.
There is a system limit of 4 IP cameras, with no more than two camera widgets
displayed per TSV-E5.
To utilize the pass-through IR signals the TSV-E5 will need to be connected
to the keypad port corresponding to its assigned zone. If there is another keypad
on that same zone a Russound SA-ZX3 splitter must be used. Pass-through IR
signals and an exterior IR receiver are only available if the TSV-E5 is mounted
on the wall.
The ACA-E5 must be fully programmed and configured with the SCS-E5
software BEFORE initializing the TSV-E5. A DHCP router with a NAT/Firewall
must be utilized as the network connection, and it should also have an outside
internet connection to allow for system updates and support.
New terms
Widget: A widget is a means of having information or controls in a convenient
one touch tool. Common examples of widgets include weather guides, news
feeds, sports score trackers, clocks, and system controls, as well as a means of
monitoring your IP cameras. The TSV-E5 has a select group of widgets available
to be configured on the home screen.
Ferrite Bead: Keeps any signal noise or interference from traveling down
the cable and affecting adjacent equipment. The included ferrite bead must be
attached to the CAT-5e cable close to the connection with the TSV-E5.
PoE: Power over Ethernet technology allows power for the touchscreen to be
carried over a single CAT-5e cable. The power supply can be located anywhere
between the router and the TSV-E5, wherever a suitable AC outlet is available.
One PoE power supply is included and required for each TSV-E5 in operation.
The maximum distance between the router and the TSV-E5 is 250' (76.2 m), and
includes the connection to the PoE power supply.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Installation Requirements
Prior to installation of the TSV-E5, plan for the following:
Cabling
CAT-5e cable for system control and information (a pre-finished stranded•
cable with RJ-45 termination is suggested for best operation for non wall-
mounted options between the wall port and TSV-E5)
Optional: CAT-5e cable for IR pass-through from remote controls to•
sources (on-wall mounting only)
Optional: Shielded 4-conductor, 2-twisted-pair signal cable for connecting•
a remote IR receiver (on-wall mounting only)
Local network
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Router with NAT/Firewall -•
should be 100 Base T or greater speed - gigabit recommended
The network router must have enough ports to provide one for each•
TSV-E5, the ACA-E5, all IP cameras, and any other IP addressed devices
on the system - the router can be expanded with the addition of a multiport
switch
Power
An AC receptacle at the router for the included 48-volt PoE power supply•
(1 for each TSV-E5)
Note: The power supply is not IEEE 802.3af compliant.
Location
The TSV-E5 should be located where it would be most convenient for the
user to view and use. For most users, a wall-mounted unit would typically be at
standard thermostat height of 58-60" (1.5 m). Additional mounting options are
available.
The body of the TSV-E5 extends beyond each edge of the back box. Refer to
the placement detail at right for dimensions. An open space above and below
the unit shall be left unobstructed to provide proper ventilation for the unit.
During operation the back of the touchscreen will be warm to the touch. This is
normal and does not indicate a product malfunction.

In SCS-E5, you must be in Online Mode and select Complete System Backup
from the Tools menu. The TSV-E5 settings will be saved along with the controller
settings. Write down all IP addresses for the cameras or any other IP devices
that are connected to the system. Give the camera information to the user in
case the widgets are accidentally deleted.

WIDGETS - CREATION
Widgets
Widgets can be shortcuts to favorites, news and weather information,
selected RSS feeds, as well as a means of monitoring the IP cameras. Widgets
can be added or deleted from individual units or all the TSV-E5s on the system.
The home screen has two options/views: the source view or the widget view. A
repeated press of the 'Home' button will toggle between views, and the system
will remember which was the last choice. If the widget view is the desired option,
the customer may want the Home Screen configuration customized for each
TSV-E5 on the system. Keep that in consideration when adding widgets.
All widget additions, deletions, and layout configurations are accessed by first
pressing the 'System' button, then pressing 'Enter' in the Home Configuration
box.
Add Widgets - To add a widget, touch the appropriate widget type from
the list on the left. Press 'add a new version' if it appears (shows if there are
other versions of that widget type already active on the system). The widget will
appear on the active screen. Add information to configure the widget. (e.g., for
the weather widget - type in the zip code in the zip code field and then a name
to identify it). There is an option to Cancel, Save, or Save to All. The 'Save to All'
option will make the widget visible on all TSV-E5 screens on the system. The
'Save' option just adds the widget to the screen you are using.
Remove Widgets - To remove a widget from the touchscreen, touch the 'x' on
the upper left border of the widget. This will remove the widget from the home
screen, but not delete the widget type from the list.
Customize Layout - Once all of the widgets have been added to the screen,
the layout can be customized. While still in the Home Configuration, the widget
has an arrow on each border. Touch the arrows and move the widget to the
desired location. The specific home screen layout is not communicated to other
TSV-E5s. The initial layout will be any widgets that are added to all TSV's. Go to
each TSV-E5 to change that layout.
Exit Configuration Page - Press the 'Close' button at the top of the screen
to return you to the system page. The changes you made to the configuration will
be saved. Press the 'Home' button to view the widget screen.
Linked text - The web widgets may display links. Touching a link will bring up
a browser window to view more information. To return to the home screen, press
the 'Close' button on the browser window.

Access from the system screen
Important: Back up the ACA-E5 configuration with the SCS-E5 software
after finishing all widget and home screen configurations on the TSV-E5s in the
system.
In SCS-E5, you must be in Online Mode and select Complete System Backup
from the Tools menu. The TSV-E5 settings will be saved along with the controller
settings. When configuring the cameras, they need to have static IP addresses,
so the TSV-E5 will recognize them. Write down all IP addresses for the cameras
or any other IP devices that are connected to the system. Give the camera
information to the user in case the widgets are accidentally deleted.
The zone must have doorbell events enabled in the SCS-E5 configuration
software to allow sound and visibility of that event on the TSV. No other
programming is necessary other than the assignment of the cameras to the
doorbells above.
