Touchpanel with Dual Joysticks: 
CPC-2000A 
Description 
Functional Description 
The CPC-2000A is a 5.7 inch (14.5 cm) passive matrix color LCD touchscreen 
control panel with dual joystick control and adjustable speed knobs for the remote 
control system (herein referred to as the control system). As part of the Crestron 
ProCam family which includes pan/tilt heads, a camera control network is formed. 
The network can accept up to 250 separate cameras - or other controlled devices - at 
distances up to 5000 feet without expansion modules. This unique camera control 
network also allows the option of additional or alternative controllers, such as 
Crestron touchpanels, PC-based control software, and button panel consolettes.  
When included in a camera control network with proper programming, the  
CPC-2000A permits control of camera pan/tilt and lens zoom/focus with speed 
adjustments. Presets that store the pan/tilt/zoom/focus positions are allowed.  
Software 
The CPC-2000A has one 256-color 
palette. Therefore, all custom colors 
are mapped to the nearest color in 
that palette, such that colors from 
the custom color dialog box may not 
be exactly represented. If the precise 
shade is not immediately achieved, 
the solution is to experiment with a 
slightly different color from the 
custom color dialog box in VT  
Pro-e. 
VisionTools™ Pro-e (VT Pro-e), a Windows
-based design software, permits the 
creation of unlimited control screen variations incorporating two and three-
dimensional graphics and text. A set of pages which make up a project can be 
designed for each CPC-2000A application. Each page contains objects such  as 
custom control graphics, two and three-dimensional buttons, sliders, and digital 
readouts which allow the user to interface with the control system. The project is 
uploaded to the touchpanel and programmed into the flash PROM. The touchpanel 
uses the programmed project until another set is uploaded from the PC. The PC may 
be disconnected from the rack or panel, except during reprogramming. VT Pro-e 
also allows users the option to generate projects destined for web browsers rather 
than for physical touchpanels. For additional software information, consult the VT 
Pro-e help file.  
Physical Description 
The 5.7 inch (14.5 cm) touch sensitive viewing screen is located on the large angled 
portion of the top face of the CPC-2000A. The touchscreen is identical to the
