VG Series Modero Touch Panels
3. From within the Video section of this page, check off the appropriate Video In and Video Port radio boxes which
correspond to both the type of video signal being used and its associated format.
For the purpose of these procedures, we’ve chosen to feed an NTSC signal into the rear Composite video
connector. As a result, a user should "check-off"/select both the Composite and NTSC radio boxes.
4. If you are feeding a microphone audio signal into the rear MAX-CSE microphone connector, you could use the
Microphone Gain field to enter an audio level (0 - 99) associated with the gain used by the rear microphone input.
5. Click the Apply button to save the encoding profiles to the MAX-CSE.
Step 4: Setup a streaming page within TPDesign4
1.
Launch TPDesign4 (default location is Start > Programs > AMX Control Disc > TPDesign4 > TPDesign4).
Refer to the TPDesign4 Instruction Manual for more detailed instructions of these procedures.
2. From the menu bar, select File > New (or click the New Project toolbar button).
3. From within the Step 1 dialog, enter a generic Job name and use the Panel Type drop-down arrow to choose a VG-
Series panel (1200VG, 1500VG, or 1700GVG).
For the purpose of these procedures, we’ve chosen to use a Job Name of Test and have selected an NXD-
1700VG touch panel (FIG. 135).
4. Fill in the fields within the remaining New Project Wizard dialogs and click Next at the end of each dialog to
proceed final dialog.
5. Click the Finish button in the last dialog to close the wizard and proceed to the first generic page which is ready for
you to start adding pages, popup pages, and buttons.
6. Add a new page to the project by selecting Page > Add Page (or click the toolbar icon) which opens the Add Page
dialog, where you can then enter a descriptive name for the new page in the Name field such as Full Screen Video
(UDP).
Note that although a page cannot directly be setup to display a video stream, a user can create a full-screen
button on that same page which can be configured to fill its contents with a video stream.
7. Press the Button Draw Tool (CTRL+U) to begin drawing a square button onto the blank page (FIG. 135).
8. Press the Selection Tool (CTRL+L) to grab the new button and stretch it to fill a desired area of the page. For our
procedures, we stretched the new button to fill the entire available are of the newly created page (FIG. 136).
9. With the button currently selected and active, navigate to the left section of the Workspace and find the Button
Properties Control window (FIG. 136).
At any time, the user can choose to mute the incoming microphone signal by either
toggling the state of the Microphone icon located at the top of the page or entering a
value of zero into the Mic Gain field.
