2.8” Handheld WiFi Touchpanel Crestron TPMC-3X
The Ultimate Handheld Remote
Gone are the limitations of previous generation remotes and the frustration of using
them. The TPMC-3X offers seamless interaction with AV and environmental
systems, providing true feedback of all you settings and displaying metadata
information for all your digital media. Whether watching TV, choosing a movie or
music title, adjusting room temperature and lighting, checking the security system or
even monitoring live video right on the built-in touchscreen, the TPMC-3X affords a
user experience like no other handheld remote.
Wi-Fi Performance – Redefined!
Crestron has redefined Wi-Fi wireless performance with the TPMC-3X, achieving a
remarkable 50 feet (~15 meters) omnidirectional coverage indoors (subject to
environmental conditions), providing exceptional freedom of movement without
line-of-sight or even having to be in the same room. The TPMC-3X also supports
roaming* among multiple access points for extended coverage. The choice of
802.11a,b and g protocols affords reliable, high speed 2-way wireless performance in
virtually any RF environment. A network of one or more TPMC-3Xs can be set up in
minutes using a Crestron CEN-WAP-ABG-1G or CEN-WAP-ABG-CM Wireless
Access Point (both sold separately).
* For more information about roaming, please contact Crestron customer support.
Instant-Waking™
To ensure the most transparent user experience possible, the TPMC-3X has been
engineered to wake instantly at the press of a button, touch of the touchscreen or by
simply tilting the remote upright. Button presses are sent immediately just like an IR
remote but with none of IR’s limitations. So spontaneous actions like muting the
audio, pausing the video or changing the channel can be executed on the fly with just
a single button press.
Extended Battery Life
Instant waking also allows the TPMC-3X to be put to sleep within seconds of putting
it down, helping to extend its battery life for several days of typical usage on a single
charge. Even under continuous use at full brightness, the TPMC-3X lasts an
incredible five hours. Its fast charging, field replaceable lithium polymer battery
pack delivers optimum power in a very small, lightweight package.
Tactile Pushbuttons with Backlit Text
A complement of 27 tactile pushbuttons makes for a very intuitive user interface,
providing easy access to everything needed for watching TV and movies, listening to
music and controlling the entire room. Large, widely spaced buttons accommodate
hands and fingers of all sizes, minimizing the chance of an unintended button press.
Backlit button text affords excellent legibility for use in a darkened room.
The pushbuttons are comprised of 17 buttons designated for the most common
functions, a 5-way navigation pad, three context assignable “hard keys” beneath the
touchscreen, a thumb operated “More” button for advancing through the available
touchscreen pages and a system power button. Every button on the TPMC-3X is
fully programmable to allow precisely the control desired, whether simply adjusting
audio volume and flipping through channels, controlling a DVR or DVD player,
navigating onscreen setup menus or operating a pan/tilt camera.
