TPMC-V12

Note: The availability of this future product can be found on the Models & Accessories tab.

Crestron® V-Panels™ represent a fresh approach to touchpanel design, offering whole new levels of style, versatility and the latest in Crestron digital touchpanel technology. The TPMC-V12 features a fully integrated design combining the touchpanel display and graphics engine in a single, slim housing. Sleek and beautiful, the TPMC-V12 is perfectly at home sitting on a contemporary table or desktop, but is equally suited for all kinds of custom installations thanks to integral VESA mount compatibility.

The TPMC-V12 delivers a powerful and elegant touchpanel control solution featuring a brilliant 12" display, stunning 24-bit color graphics and video, blazingly fast performance, streaming multimedia, IP intercom, Web browsing, and enhanced GUI design capabilities using Adobe® Flash® objects.

Sleek, Versatile Design
Our V-Panels have been designed with appearance and versatility in mind. At less than 2 inches deep, the TPMC-V12 can be mounted virtually anywhere using a third-party VESA 75 compliant mounting bracket or stand. A pre-configured tabletop tilt model (TPMC-V12-TILT) is offered, supplied with its own ultra-stylish, smooth-tilt base to deliver a very sleek-looking, low-profile control solution for desktops, counters, and other level surfaces. A wall mount model (TPMC-V12-WALL) is also offered, affording the same V-Panel style and function in a thoroughly modern, yet unimposing, flush mount design.

Advanced Touchpanel Control
Crestron touchpanels offer an ideal user-interface for multimedia presentation, home automation, command centers, and much more, providing a wide-open canvas for the creation of custom control screens tailored to the needs of the end-user. Touchpanels 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.

Fully custom touchpanel control is afforded through the TPMC-V12's ample 12" touchscreen. Dynamic graphics and text capability enable the display of all kinds of useful data and alluring eye candy—from AV controls and icons—to room temperature and lighting levels—to photos and video—to digital media playlists complete with metadata and cover art. Multi-mode buttons, PNG translucency and page transition effects enhance the palette for creating GUIs that are both eye-catching and easy to use.

Adobe® Flash® Support
New support for Adobe Flash unleashes incredible new capabilities for creating dynamic control objects, menu navigation, widgets, apps, animations and 3D effects. Use gestures to effortlessly browse large music and movie libraries, scroll through TV channels and radio stations, and select control apps from intuitive menus of colorful animated icons. Personalize your touchpanel desktop with clock, calendar, weather, RSS feed and other informative widgets.

Embedded PC & HD Streaming Media
The TPMC-V12 delivers embedded PC functionality with built-in Windows Media® Player and RealPlayer®, Internet Explorer, Adobe® Acrobat® Reader, and Microsoft® Office document viewers. While simultaneously controlling the home, boardroom, or lecture hall, the TPMC-V12 provides everything needed for enjoying online music and movies, viewing Web pages and accessing most types of digital media without necessitating a separate computer. In addition, VNC Viewer support delivers enhanced cross-platform interaction with computers over the network or Internet, allowing remote access and control of desktop applications to unleash all kinds of new presentation and system integration possibilities.

Integrated Video
For monitoring security cameras or watching a DVD or television, the TPMC-V12 provides multiple ways to view video signals right on the touchscreen. Streaming or downloaded HD video can be viewed using its embedded media players, or conventional video can be viewed through a direct wired connection to an external composite video source. Native support for the motion-JPEG streaming format also allows the TPMC-V12 to display live video from a Web camera or network video streamer (Crestron CEN-NVS100[1] or equivalent) right over the LAN connection. Video images can be displayed full screen, or at any location on the screen in a fully-scalable window.

Speakers and Microphone
Built-in front-firing speakers provide clear audio for streaming media and internal PC applications, and enable 2-way IP intercom in combination with the integrated microphone. Customized WAV files can also be loaded on the TPMC-V12 to add dimension to the touchscreen graphics with personalized sounds, button feedback, and voice prompts.

IP Intercom
Crestron IP intercom enables 2-way voice communication and room monitoring over Ethernet with other compatible Crestron touchpanels.

Keyboard/Mouse Options
On-screen keyboard and mouse capabilities enable complete control of the TPMC-V12's embedded PC, and can also be used to control external network devices like the Crestron ADMS Intermedia Deliver System™ as well as computers running Crestron CEN-WIN Touchpanel HID Emulator software. A USB port is also provided for the connection of a physical keyboard and mouse.

Streamlined, Flexible Connectivity
Each TPMC-V12 model ships with a compact interface module (TPMC-V-IMCW[2]), which may be discreetly mounted in a 1-gang wall box, equipment rack, or to any flat surface, providing a single point of connectivity for power, communications, and video signals. Connection between the touchpanel and interface module can be made using a V-Cable Siamese Cable (TPMC-V-CBL-S[3]), providing a very clean appearance with lengths available up to 15 feet (4.5 meters). For longer distances up to 330 feet (100 meters), especially for in-wall applications, you may use a choice of several Crestron wire solutions or generic CAT5e Cable.[4]

The TPMC-V-IMCW interface module provides both Cresnet® and high-speed Ethernet ports for control system communications and LAN access. Power can be furnished via Cresnet® or an optional power pack (PW-2420RU[1]). Wired video connectivity is handled through a single balanced or unbalanced composite input, allowing compatibility with both conventional coaxial and Crestron Home® Balanced AV distribution systems.

The TPMC-V12 can also be installed without using the interface module. Connectors on the touchpanel allow for direct connection to Ethernet or Cresnet, with power provided via the Cresnet port. Please note, wired video connectivity is only available through the TPMC-V-IMCW interface module.

Notes:

  1. Item(s) sold separately.
  2. Item(s) included, see individual product specifications for additional information.
  3. The TPMC-V12 model includes (1) TPMC-V-CBL-S3 3 ft Siamese Cable. The TPMC-V12-TILT model includes (1) TPMC-V-CBL-S6 6 ft Siamese Cable. The TPMC-V12-WALL model does not include any cable.
  4. For wiring between the touchpanel and interface module, use a TPMC-V-CBL-S Siamese Cable, CRESCAT, CRESCAT-D-HP, CRESCAT-QM, DM-CBL, or quality CAT5e/CAT6. CAT5e/6 requires an additional CRESNET or CRESNET-HP for Cresnet and power, or else a single-pair wire for power only. The maximum length for CRESCAT-D-HP, CAT5e/6 + CRESNET-HP, or CAT5e/6 + 14 AWG power wire is 330 ft (100 m) minus the length of any Ethernet cable connected to the LAN jack on the rear of the interface module. The maximum length for CRESCAT, CRESCAT-QM, DM-CBL, CAT5e/6 + CRESNET, or CAT5e/6 + 18 AWG power wire is 155 ft (47 m) minus the length of any additional Ethernet cable beyond 175 ft (53 m).
  5. Contact Crestron for a current list of embedded applications. To ensure reliable performance, new device drivers and applications are available only from Crestron through firmware updates.
