Parameter Description
• Video Fill: To apply a video fill to the selected state(s), click the down-arrow to open the list
of available video sources (1-4). This option is only available for video-capable
panels.
• Video Pass-Thru: This option is available only if a Video Fill has been selected (select Yes from the
drop-down menu to enable). With Video Pass-Thru enabled, the panel's touch
coordinates are passed from the RGB card on a TPI/4 to the connected PC as
USB commands. This feature works only if the TP4-RGB card is connected
directly to the PC, via the USB port on the RGB card. The touch coordinates are
scaled to fit the resulting window. This feature allows you to "synch" the touch
actions on the panel to those on the connected PC.
