The flash memory slot is accessible on the rear panel of the unit. QM IN (QuickMedia Input) The eight-pin RJ-45 QuickMedia transport port accepts Crestron Certified Wiring carrying audio, video, and microphone signals. The QM input port conforms to the 568B wiring standard. Refer to the following table for connector pinouts. NOTE: The QM port is not connected through any "IMC" interface. NOTE: Only one video source may be displayed on the touchpanel at a time. NOTE: TPS-12, TPS-15, and TPS-17 touchpanels do not support RGB.

This port provides component, composite or S-video balanced input to the touchpanel over Crestron Certified Wiring. Description of the pinouts is shown in the following table. A cable for this connection is provided with the touchpanel. CAUTION: Only use the TPMC-CH-IMC Interface Module when connecting this port. Use of other "IMC" products could damage the panel. Earlier IMC modules were equipped with a proprietary 10-pin RJ cable. If this is inadvertently connected to the 8-pin RJ-45 connector the panel will be damaged. NOTE: Only one video source may be displayed at a time.

[. . . ] (For instance, the TPS-15G-QM draws 75 watts of Cresnet power. ) Considering power loss (due to resistance) in cable, and the 75 Watt maximum output of Crestron power supplies, it appears that the maximum distance between a power supply and a newer touchpanels will be much less than previous. 1. 3. Why does the TPMC-15/17 (CH/QM) come with its own 12. 5 Volt power supply, instead of using Cresnet power?Is there any possibility of producing a larger power supply to deal with the incresed Cresnet power consumption?Does Crestron have any recommendations or guidelines regarding power delivery over Cresnet (and other) cable? A. 1. The higher resolution, brightness, and added capabilities of the new Crestron touchpanels have come at a price. [. . . ]
