Configuring the TPI-PRO/DVI
34 TPI-PRO/DVI (Total Presentation Interface)
Startup Routine and Initial Panel Response

Discharge any acquired static electricity by touching a grounded metal object.

Verify the rear connections are secure and active. Refer to the Rear Panel Connectors section on
page 18 for detailed cable connector information.
1.
Connect the 12VDC Power Supply to the PWR connector on the rear panel. The TPI-PRO/DVI will
power ON and initialize the startup routine when the power supply is connected.
2.
After the startup routine, the connected touch monitor displays one of two possible screens:

If the TPI-PRO/DVI’s output resolution matches that of the touch monitor, continue by setting the
touch drivers associated with the touch monitor.
Refer to the
Setting the Touch Drivers (Serial Touch Monitors Only)
section on page 35.

If the TPI-PRO/DVI’s output resolution does not match the resolution of the connected touch
monitor, you must set the output resolution of the TPI-PRO/DVI to match the touch monitor.
Refer to the following section - Setting the Output Resolution .
Setting the Output Resolution
The TPI-PRO/DVI’s output resolution must match the output resolution and refresh rate set on the connected
monitor.

The default output resolution is 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz .

The maximum output resolution is 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz .

Use the RESOLUTION pushbutton to alter the outgoing resolution to match the output pixel
resolution and refresh rate set on the connected touch monitor.
1.
Press the RESOLUTION pushbutton to open the Resolution Setup page (FIG. 30).
2.
Press the RESOLUTION button again to cycle through the available output resolution settings. Every
consecutive button push cycles the output resolution to the next highest setting.

Double-push the RESOLUTION button to return to the previous setting.

the most recent List of Touch Monitors and USB / Serial Touch Drivers Tested with the TPI-PRO/
DVI (including the most current listing of tested USB touch panel drivers).
3.
The message " Please wait, loading new resolution... " indicates that the new resolution setting is being
saved. Do not cycle or remove power while the new settings are being saved.
4.
Once your resolution is selected, you can use the outer screen area lines on the Resolution Setup page to
adjust your monitor’s visible screen area.

This could involve using the monitor’s video control to stretch and move the incoming video so that
the borders follow the edges of the screen without disappearing.

There are normally 60 seconds before the resolution times-out, but you can press the front panel
Resolution button again to return to the previous resolution pattern and continue setting up the
monitor.
Once power is applied, use the Power button to toggle the unit off and on.
An "OUT OF RANGE" message is often generated by the touch monitor.
Some monitors will not display a message, but will appear blank instead.
The TPI-PRO-DVI does not provide Component (YPbPr) or Interlaced outputs.
