Crestron Isys G-Series touchpanels deliver a higher level of performance with dual-window video, RGB, and HDTV display to meet the demands of today's sophisticated control and automation applications. Incorporating modern styling in a versatile tiltcase design, the Isys TPS-17G-QM features a spectacular 17" WXGA widescreen display offering an extra wide viewing angle with exceptional brightness and contrast for stunning control graphics, high-resolution images, and full-motion HD video.

Crestron touchpanels offer an ideal user-interface for multimedia presentation, videoconferencing, home automation, 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.

Isys®
Isys power and beauty are infused throughout the entire Crestron touchpanel lineup. Under the hood, the TPS-17G-QM offers vibrant 24-bit color depth with 8-bit alpha channel transparency to produce incredible 3D graphics using DNav dynamic menu objects, dynamic graphics and text, animations, multimode objects, and PNG translucency - all with astonishing speed.

Synapse™
The Crestron exclusive Synapse Image Rendering Algorithm enables system programmers to produce amazing graphics - faster and easier. Advanced antialiasing delivers crisper, sharper objects and text. Enhanced 3D effects add new depth and style. And because Synapse is native to the touchpanel, memory requirements and upload time are substantially reduced.

Windows® SideShow™ Enabled
New support for Windows® SideShow™ gives the TPS-17G-QM 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 Vista™ computer.

Dual-Window HD Video and RGB*
The TPS-17G-QM can simultaneously display two fully-scalable, full-motion video windows, each supporting standard video, HDTV, and high-resolution RGB signals from external AV and computer sources. Discrete video scalers with motion adaptive deinterlacing bring out the highest detail, minimizing visible scan lines and motion artifacts for a truly remarkable picture. Advanced gamma correction and built-in time base correction ensure accurate color reproduction and a jitter-free image.

Touch-the-PC
Crestron exclusive "Touch-the-PC" technology allows real-time touchpanel navigation of any Windows PC through a direct high-speed serial connection.

Interactive Annotation
Built-in annotation capability allows presenters to write or draw over live computer and video images right on the touchscreen using a finger, stylus, or mouse. Moving images can also be frozen onscreen to allow annotation over a still picture. Brush sizes and colors are selectable on the fly. Remote annotation capability allows multiple touchpanel users to draw over the same image, supporting interactive annotation between several participants in a courtroom, classroom, or similar environment. The image can also be output to a video display for live audience presentation.

High-Quality Audio*
The high-powered biamplified speaker system provides amplification for external AV sources, and supports intercom functionality in combination with the integrated microphone. Customized WAV files can be loaded on the touchpanel to add dimension to the touchscreen graphics with personalized sounds, button feedback, and voice prompts.

QuickMedia®
All audio and video connections are facilitated using our revolutionary QuickMedia transport, providing a flexible yet remarkably simple wiring solution. Through QuickMedia (QM), the TPS-17G-QM interfaces directly with other QM-based products using inexpensive CAT5e type cable.

The two QM Input ports each support non-interlaced RGB up to 1600 X 1200 pixels, as well as composite, S-Video, and component video signals. QM Input #1 includes software-adjustable compensation for cable runs up to 450 feet; Input #2 allows up to 450 feet for video, 300 feet for HDTV, and shorter distances for RGB computer signals. Both QM Inputs receive audio signals from external microphone and stereo line level sources.

The QM Output port allows RGB output of the touchpanel screen image to feed a display device for audience presentation. A 24-bit digital audio signal is also present for distribution of the internal microphone signal.

High-Speed Connectivity
Both Cresnet and high-speed Ethernet are standard on the TPS-17G-QM, providing for easy network integration and seamless communications with Crestron control systems. USB connectivity is also included for connection of an external mouse, touchscreen, or similar pointing device†.

Functional Tiltcase Design
The stylish tiltcase housing allows smooth tilt adjustment from 45 to 90 degrees, and features an integral cable strain relief system and rear cover to secure and hide the connections at the back of the touchpanel. Five backlit pushbuttons are also provided, allowing for quick access to commonly used functions.
