Quick Guide to Touchpanel Connections Crestron CH (CH versions only) CH versions of the TPMC-15 and TPMC-17 feature two video input ports to connect to a Crestron CNXPVID device (or any Crestron CAT5 video source such as CNXRMC, CNXRMCLV, C2N-IVDS) and one bi-directional audio port for connecting a Crestron CNX-BIPAD8 or other similar device such as the C2N-IADS. The video port receives composite, S-video, or component signals over CAT5 wiring.
Crestron Quick Guide to Touchpanel Connections Video Connection Example - Balanced S-Video from CNX-PVID Using a standard EIA-568B CAT5 cable, program the S-video to output from level 2 of the CNX-PVID C (Chrominance) and level 1 for Y (Luminance).
Quick Guide to Touchpanel Connections Crestron QM Input #1 provides adjustable delay skew compensation for optimizing video signals. The compensation corrects color separation problems that can occur when CAT5 cables have variations in the pair lengths. The twisting of the cable pairs inside the cable sheath causes this variation in length.
Crestron Quick Guide to Touchpanel Connections QuickMedia Installation Notes The QuickMedia transport mechanism performs delay compensation on each video input to compensate for signal skew, and frequency/bandwidth compensation for cable length. Signal skew occurs when part of the signal is delayed with respect to other signal components. The amount of skew largely depends on the length and design of the wire.

Crestron Quick Guide to Touchpanel Connections Cresnet Touchpanel Power Q&A Q. We prefer to place Cresnet power supplies in our “Head End” equipment rack for large residential systems. It has come to our attention that many of the newer touchpanels draw considerably more Cresnet power then their predecessors. (For instance, the TPS-15G-QM draws 75 watts of Cresnet power.
Quick Guide to Touchpanel Connections Crestron Use the following formula to determine the maximum length of wire that you can use to send power from a dedicated 75 Watt power supply to a specific touchpanel. L < 40,000/(PF x R) Where: “L”= length in feet, “PF”= Crestron ‘Power Factor’, “R”= Cable “Resistance” Refer to the following table for maximum cable lengths. Maximum Cable Lengths for TPS panels using 75 watts of Cresnet Power Cresnet (18 awg R=6) 16 awg (R=4) CAT5 (2-cond R=13) 12 awg (R=1.
