Dynamic graphics and text capability enable the display of all kinds of useful data and alluring eye candy, from audio settings, TV channels and lighting levels to changing icons, photos and logos, to digital media playlists complete with album cover art. Crestron's exclusive SynapseTM image rendering algorithm enables system programmers to produce amazing graphics faster and easier, featuring advanced antialiasing for crisper, sharper objects and text, plus 3D effects for enhanced depth and style. Additional capabilities like animations, multimode objects, PNG translucence and full motion video enhance the palette for creating GUIs that are both eye catching and easy to use. NOTE: Full motion video requires a wired connection via a TPS(I)-6X-DS Docking Station (included). New support for Windows® SideShowTM gives the TPS-6X access to all kinds of PC and Web-based content such as news feeds, sports scores, stock tickers, weather alerts, media guides, email messages and appointment notifications all through a simple network connection to a Windows VistaTM computer. Tactile Pushbuttons In addition to its touchscreen, the TPS-6X features illuminated tactile pushbuttons (black models only) for quick access to volume adjustment, channel selection and on-screen menu navigation functions. Eight additional pushbuttons, elegantly trimmed by illuminated button dividers, flank the edges of the touchscreen to support additional programmable functions. 2 · Isys® 5.7" Wireless Touchpanel: TPS-6X Operations Guide ­ DOC. 6575B Crestron TPS-6X Isys® 5.7" Wireless Touchpanel High quality backlit laser engraving (black models only) lends a crisp, legible appearance to button text in both darkened and fully lit rooms. The pushbuttons come pre-engraved with labeling suited to a typical home theater or multimedia presentation application. If needed, customized engraving can be attained simply using Crestron Engraver software. A no-button front bezel is also included with the TPS-6X, which may be installed in place of the button bezel for a very clean appearance with no front panel pushbuttons. Two additional "trigger" style buttons are positioned on top of the TPS-6X for easy control of the display brightness, Sleep mode and other programmable functions. High Powered Wireless The TPS-6X brings a new level of wireless versatility to the Isys family of touchpanels. With both 2-way RF and 1-way IR wireless capabilities built in, the TPS-6X offers a choice of wireless platforms to suit the environment. Crestron's high power 2.4 GHz RF technology allows long range performance up to 200 feet (61 meters) indoors using the CEN(I)-HPRFGW High Powered RF Gateway (sold separately). A range of selectable RF channels and power levels helps to maximize performance for both small and large facilities, from boardrooms, classrooms and home theaters to auditoriums and convention centers. High speed bidirectional communication supports true feedback with dynamic graphics and text, affording the capabilities of a wired Isys touchpanel in a fully wireless portable package. NOTE: Indoor RF range is 100-200 feet (30-61 meters), subject to site-specific conditions. Built in IR capability affords a wireless alternative that is immune to extremely noisy RF environments and suitable for sensitive applications where RF may not be permitted. An operational range of up to 50 feet (15 meters) line-of-sight is possible using a C2N-IRGW-1G or C2N-IRGW-F IR Gateway or CNXRMIRD IR Receiver (all sold separately). TableTop Tilt Docking Station Placing the touchpanel onto the TPS(I)-6X-DS Docking Station (included) converts it to a stylish tilt touchpanel, providing wired communications and video capability while charging the touchpanel's internal battery. Both wired Ethernet and Cresnet® connectivity are available. When the touchpanel is placed on the docking station, it will switch automatically from RF wireless to fully wired operation if either Ethernet or Cresnet is connected. Without a wired Ethernet or Cresnet connection present, the touchpanel will continue to operate wirelessly while it charges. The docking station features a triple lock tiltable docking port, allowing the touchpanel to be tilted at any angle up to 45 degrees for optimal viewing and operation when docked. The angle can be freely adjusted during use or locked down at a fixed angle. A finger operated latch can be engaged at any time to lock the touchpanel securely to the docking station or left unlocked for easiest removal after recharging. The touchpanel can even be semi-permanently attached to the docking station for a sleek, full time tabletop touchpanel solution. A single cable exits the rear of the docking station base, extending to a wall or surface mounted TPS-6X-IMCW Interface Module (included). The cable can also be repositioned to exit the bottom for a very clean, cordless appearance.
