Crestron TPMC-4XG-B Isys i/O™ Handheld WiFi Touchpanel Locating the TPMC-4XG-B in the Device Library • The system tree of the control system displays the device in the appropriate slot with a default IP ID as shown in the following illustration. C2Net Device, Slot 8 Operations Guide – DOC. 6749A • Additional TPMC-4XG-B devices are assigned different IP ID numbers as they are added.
Isys i/O™ Handheld WiFi Touchpanel Crestron TPMC-4XG-B “TPMC-4XG-B/TPMC-4X/TPMC-4XG Device Settings” Window • Program Manager The ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows program must match the IP ID of each unit. Program Manager is the view where programmers “program” a Crestron control system by assigning signals to symbols. The symbol can be viewed by double clicking on the icon or dragging it into Detail View. Each signal in the symbol is described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1).
Crestron TPMC-4XG-B Isys i/O™ Handheld WiFi Touchpanel elements (pixels). Each pixel uses the same amount of memory to store its color data. The amount of memory is called the bit depth of the image. Greater bit depths are required to represent finer gradations of color. Increasing bit depth necessarily increases file size. A black and white drawing requires only one bit per pixel to store all the available color information.
Isys i/O™ Handheld WiFi Touchpanel Crestron TPMC-4XG-B In VT Pro-e, the Compress checkbox permits the image to be compressed when compiling. The 16 Bits checkbox converts a 24-bit or 32-bit image to 16 bits. This conversion to a 16-bit image may cause the loss of some subtle shading. To compensate for this, use the dithering to simulate the original shading. Check your image with each of the available dithering types to determine which will deliver the best quality image.
Crestron TPMC-4XG-B Isys i/O™ Handheld WiFi Touchpanel Pushbutton Programming The hard pushbuttons, the five-way thumbpad and the toggle wheel are programmable and can provide tactile control of many functions such as audio volume, channel selection, OSM navigation or even pan/tilt cameras. Refer to the following illustration for their assigned join numbers. A description for each button signal is described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1).
