Low Profile Design Combines Affordable Room
Scheduling Solution and Complete Crestron Control for Classrooms,
Conference Rooms, Hotel Rooms, Home Automation Systems
Crestron Electronics, the world leader of advanced enterprise
control solutions and touchpanel innovation, announces the
release of the new TPMC-4SM Isys i/O 4.3" Wall Mount
Touchpanel Media Center.
Combining the power of Crestron touchpanel functionality with
an enterprise room scheduling platform in a single-wire solution,
the TPMC-4SM takes touchscreen technology to new levels for
commercial, education, hospitality, and residential markets.
The latest addition in a series of network connected, Power
over Ethernet (PoE) control solutions, the TPMC-4SM is a compact,
low profile and affordable touchpanel that provides direct
LAN connectivity for powerful room scheduling and control,
with versatile mounting options in corporate offices, universities,
hotels, retrofits and home automation applications.
Featuring a wide array of touchscreen functionality with flexible
mounting options and single wire installation, TPMC-4SM delivers
room control, power and communication via Ethernet, allowing
easy installation virtually anywhere, making the 4SM an ideal
solution for retrofits, renovations and existing structures
where cutting holes in walls is undesirable or impractical.
Mounting the 4SM, either flush or tilt, on glass surfaces
or on concrete/brick walls is simple, safe and reliable, providing
a clean, hassle-free installation in corporate boardrooms
and conference rooms, and in European interiors. Standard
wall, lectern and tabletop mounting options offer additional
choices to meet any design requirement.
As a standalone touchpanel, TPMC-4SM features direct network
connectivity with RoomView™ Server Edition software to
provide a streamlined enterprise room scheduling solution
for any size organization. With power and communication via
Ethernet over a single Cat5e cable, “Room Scheduling
Mode” requires no control system or programming, delivering
a true, fully integrated room solution, increasing efficiencies
in meeting room scheduling and employee productivity.
View room calendars and check availability status of all rooms
throughout buildings or across campuses and reserve rooms
in real time, right from the touchpanel display. Onboard inputs
provide direct connection of occupancy sensors, enabling the
4SM to conveniently display room availability status with
easy-to-read green back lit LEDs when a room is “available”,
red when “occupied”, and automatically resets calendars
when “no shows” occur.
TPMC-4SM also communicates with any Crestron control system
via the LAN, to control AV presentation systems, HVAC, lighting
and shades, in corporate boardrooms; control of in-room entertainment,
amenities, and room partitioning in hotels; and control of
all classroom AV and multimedia presentation technology in
colleges and universities.
In addition, the 4SM is a perfect choice in residential applications
as a low-cost bedside touchpanel or anywhere in or outside
the home, with custom, one-touch presets enabling whole house
control of home theater systems, distributed audio, light/drapes,
thermostats, security and more.
The compact, yet powerful 4SM delivers fully programmable
functionality to access and leverage advanced Crestron control
systems, 4.3” high-performance 16:9 wide-screen color
graphics with streaming audio and video, 2-way IP intercom,
WAV file feedback, and built-in proximity sensors that wakes
and lights up the touchpanel when walking into a dark room.
The single cable PoE solution eliminates the need for additional
electrical and control wiring, resulting in clean, easier
installations and significantly reduced installation costs.
