For applications in which wired connectivity is preferred or specified – such as government facilities – the TPS-6 is the ideal solution.
The TPS-6 and all the latest Crestron touch panels come with Isys graphic engine. The engine enables TPS-6 to exhibit dynamic text and graphics that give the display of audio settings. Digital media play list is available with stylish album cover, other features such as TV channels changing icons, photos, and logos are also added in TPS-6. The Isys TPS-6 Tilt Touch panel delivers high-end style and performance in a striking tabletop design.
Crestron’s DNav and Synapse technologies that have been integrated into the TPS-6 for gesture navigation enable system programmers to produce amazing graphics faster and easier using advanced dynamic control menus and 3D effects. Additional capabilities like animations, multimode objects, PNG translucency, and full-motion video enhance the palette for creating GUIs that are both eye-catching and easy to use.
The TPS-6 provides a wide open canvas for the creation of custom control screens tailored to each unique application. In addition to its touchscreen, the TPS-6 features illuminated tactile pushbuttons for quick access to volume adjustment, channel selection, and on-screen menu navigation functions. Eight additional pushbuttons, elegantly trimmed by illuminated button dividers, flank the edges of the touchscreen to support additional programmable functions.
