Programming Crestron Controllers for a Kaleidescape System
Page 10
Touch panel variations are packaged separately and available as downloadable VTP
files. Each file is constructed as a single page with sub-pages to manage secondary
and tertiary controls within each variation. The corresponding Kaleidescape
module must also be downloaded.
The touch panel variations in Figures 1 through 3 are screenshots taken from the
1024 × 768 pixel template for the Crestron TPS-15. Refer to Appendix A: Screen
Shots for UI Layouts on page 60 for more sample screen shots of all three
variations.
OSD control with a video window
The OSD Video template displays the Kaleidescape System OSD on the touch panel
simplifying user operation. Kaleidescape strongly recommends that installers use
this interface configuration to deliver a superior user experience for both movies
and music.
This solution has the following requirements:
 A touch panel that supports a video window
 A Kaleidescape movie zone to provide video output to the panel
Figure 1: OSD control with a video window
OSD control without a video window
Instead of the video window, the OSD No Video template delivers text-based
details for the content currently selected in the OSD. The touch panel replicates the
movie details page or album details page for the selected movie or album in any
OSD view. Use this variation only when the touch panel cannot support a video
window or when the touch panel has too little area to display the OSD video image
clearly.
On Premiere line systems, Kaleidescape provides control panels in the browser
interface identical to this OSD touch panel.
