TPI-PRO-2/4
Total Presentation Interface
Overview
The TPI-PRO Presentation Interface displays up to 4 fully-scalable video windows, each supporting
Composite, S-Video, Component and VGA signals on third party touch monitors (FIG. 1).
There are two versions of the TPI-PRO available:
•
The
TPI-PRO-2
(FG2275-102) supports up to two VIDEO/VGA inputs.
•
The
TPI-PRO-4
(FG2275-104) supports up to four VIDEO/VGA inputs.
Product Specifications
The following table lists the specifications for the TPI-PRO-2 and TPI-PRO-4. Note that the primary
difference between the TPI-PRO-2 and TPI-PRO-4 is in the number of inputs. In terms of
functionality and specifications, they are otherwise identical. The specifications listed below apply to
both versions, unless specifically noted.

Front Panel Components
• Power
switch/LED:
Toggles the unit off and on.
• Light Off: Power to the unit is either not plugged in, below approximately
10VDC, above approximately 19VDC, or cross-wired.
• Constant Green: Power to the unit is within nominal voltage limits
(between 10VDC and 19VDC, approximately), the unit is on, and all
internal power supplies are operating normally.
• Constant Yellow: Power to the unit is within nominal voltage limits
(between 10VDC and 19VDC, approximately) and the unit has been
turned off by pressing the power switch for more than two seconds.
• Flashing Yellow: Power to the unit is within nominal voltage limits
(between 10VDC and 19VDC, approximately), but one or more of the
internal power supplies are not operating correctly. The unit needs to be
serviced. Contact AMX Technical Support for further instructions.
• USB Type-A
Host ports:
2 USB Type A ports for connecting up to one annotation touch monitor and
up to one keyboard/mouse.
Note: Do not use a USB hub to connect multiple USB devices to the
TPI-PRO.
• Serial port:
DB9 connector (male) connects to a DB9 serial port on a PC,
for serial
communication.
• Status LED:
• Constant ON: No communication with the NetLinx Master
• Blinking: In communication with the NetLinx Master
• Input LEDs:
Yellow LEDs indicate a valid input signal on each source input
(1-4 on the TPI-PRO-4, 1-2 on the TPI-PRO-2).
• Buttons:
Four white buttons provide access to the following configuration options:
• RESOLUTION: Opens a screen used to select the TPI-PRO output video
signal resolution, ranging from 640 x 480@60Hz to 1920 x 1080@60Hz.
Note: This output resolution setting must not be greater than the
resolution on the connected panel.
• TOUCH: Opens the
Panel Information
page, where you can select from a
series of serial touch panel drivers, and select the driver that corresponds
to the serial touch panel connected to the TPI-PRO (via the TOUCH
INPUT connector).
• CALIBRATE: Opens the
Calibration
page, displaying a series of
crosshairs. These crosshairs are used to calibrate the touch device being
used.
• SETUP: Opens the TPI-PRO firmware setup menu.

TPI-PRO Specifications (Cont.)
Rear Panel Components
• VIDEO/VGA
Inputs:
VIDEO/VGA input connectors, one per input source (1-4 on the TPI-PRO-4,
1-2 on the TPI-PRO-2). Each input connector supports VGA graphics, S-
video, composite, and component video.
• VGA Outputs:
2 VGA output connectors. Both outputs support analog VGA (RGBHV)
outputs.
• Maximum output resolution = 1920 x 1080@60 Hz
• Default output resolution = 1280 x 1024@60 Hz
Note: Refer to the TPI-PRO Operation/Reference Guide for a listing of
Supported Pixel Display and Refresh Rates.
These connectors display video feeds, G4 graphics and external windowed
video/graphics inputs.
The VGA Outputs can be connected to either:
• The touch-panel control display
• The public-view non-touch monitor
Note: The TPI-PRO does not provide Component (YPbPr) or Interlaced
outputs. It provides 1920x1080 Progressive RGBHV (the same resolution as
1080p, but in the RGB color space).
• Source TOUCH,
KEYBOARD/
MOUSE
USB ports:
2 or 4 USB Type-B device ports, one per source computer - for source USB
Touch Monitor, mouse/keyboard control (1-4 on the TPI-PRO-4, 1-2 on the
TPI-PRO-2).
Note: Do not use a USB hub to connect multiple USB devices to the
TPI-PRO.
• Host USB Touch
Monitor
KEYBOARD/
MOUSE
USB ports:
2 USB Type-A ports that can be used for a keyboard, mouse, external

TPI-PRO.
• ETHERNET
10/100 port:
RJ-45 port provides 10/100 Mbps communication with the NetLinx Master
(via ICSP protocol over Ethernet).
• The Ethernet port automatically negotiates the connection speed (10
Mbps or 100 Mbps), and whether to use half duplex or full duplex mode.
• This communication is reflected via the front ICSP LED.
• TOUCH INPUT
port:
RS-232 (DB9) 9-pin serial port provides connectivity to a pointer device (i.e.
touch screen) that requires a serial connection.
• AUDIO OUT
