Crestron Isys™ TPS-TPI  

Touchpanel 

Interface

The Crestron Isys™ TPS-TPI offers a host of sophisticated capabilities like the other 
models in the Isys family, however the unit is designed without a display. Its analog 
XGA resolution output plugs into a plasma screen or large screen projector to create 
whatever image size is required. The plasma or projection screen may be overlaid 
with a touch-sensitive membrane to function as a huge touchpanel. The TPS-TPI can 
also be used with the Crestron SmartPresenter™ system in serial mouse mode. Other 
Microsoft-compatible serial mice are also permissible. The unit operates in a 16-bit 
graphics mode (65,536 colors); palettes are not required. When displaying video or 
RGB sources with the appropriate expansion card installed, the TPS-TPI can display 
up to 262,144 colors. The TPS-TPI offers:
