QUICK START GUIDE
TPI-PRO-DVI-2/4
Total Presentation Interface with DVI
Overview
The TPI-PRO-DVI Presentation Interface with DVI displays up to 4 fully-scalable video
windows, each supporting Composite, S-Video, Component, VGA and DVI signals on third
party touch monitors (FIG. 1).
There are two versions of the TPI-PRO-DVI available:
• The
TPI-PRO-DVI-2
(FG2275-112) supports up to two DVI inputs.
• The
TPI-PRO-DVI-4
(FG2275-114) supports up to four DVI inputs.
Product Specifications
The following table lists the specifications for the TPI-PRO-DVI-2 and TPI-PRO-DVI-4. Note
that the primary difference between the TPI-PRO-DVI-2 and TPI-PRO-DVI-4 is in the number of
inputs. In terms of functionality and specifications, they are otherwise identical. The
specifications listed below apply to both versions, unless specifically noted.
Before You Start
The TPI-PRO-DVI has been factory setup with specific touch panel pages. The first splash
screen that appears indicates the TPI is receiving power, loading firmware, and preparing to
display the default touch panel page.
When the panel is ready, the AMX Splash Screen is replaced by the initial Panel Setup page.
• Verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master firmware.
• Verify you are using the latest TPI-PRO-DVI firmware.
• Verify you are using the latest versions of NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4.

10VDC, above approximately 19VDC, or cross-wired.
• Constant Green: Power to the unit is within nominal voltage limits (between
10VDC and 19VDC, approximately), the unit is on, and all internal power
supplies are operating normally.
• Constant Yellow: Power to the unit is within nominal voltage limits (between
10VDC and 19VDC, approximately) and the unit has been turned off by
pressing the power switch for more than two seconds.
• Flashing Yellow: Power to the unit is within nominal voltage limits (between
10VDC and 19VDC, approximately), but one or more of the internal power
supplies are not operating correctly. The unit needs to be serviced. Contact
AMX Technical Support for further instructions.
• USB Type-A
Host ports:
2 USB Type A ports for connecting up to one annotation touch monitor and
up to one keyboard/mouse.
Note: Do not use a USB hub to connect multiple USB devices to the PI.
• Serial port:
DB9 connector (male) connects to a DB9 serial port on a PC.
• Status LED:
• Constant ON: No communication with the NetLinx Master
• Blinking: In communication with the NetLinx Master
• Input LEDs:
Yellow LEDs indicate a valid input signal on each source input
(1-4 on the TPI-PRO-DVI-4, 1-2 on the TPI-PRO-DVI-2).
• Buttons:
Four white buttons provide access to the following configuration options:
• RESOLUTION: Opens a screen used to select the TPI-PRO-DVI output video
signal resolution, ranging from 640 x 480@60Hz to 1920 x 1200@60Hz.
Note: This output resolution setting must not be greater than the resolution on
the connected panel.
• TOUCH: Opens the
Panel Information
page, where you can select from a
series of serial touch panel drivers, and select the driver that corresponds
to the serial touch panel connected to the TPI-PRO-DVI (via the TOUCH
INPUT connector).
• CALIBRATE: Opens the
Calibration
page, displaying a series of crosshairs.
These crosshairs are used to calibrate the touch device being used.
• SETUP: Opens the TPI-PRO-DVI firmware setup menu.

Rear Panel Components
• DVI-I Inputs:
DVI-I input connectors, one per input source (1-4 on the TPI-PRO-DVI-4,
1-2 on the TPI-PRO-DVI-2). Each input connector supports DVI, VGA
graphics, S-video, composite, and component video.
• DVI-I Outputs:
2 DVI-I (VESA/EIA compatible) output connectors. Both outputs support DVI-
D and analog VGA (RGBHV) outputs.
• Maximum output resolution = 1920 x 1200@60 Hz
• Default output resolution = 1280 x 1024@60 Hz
Note: Refer to the TPI-PRO-DVI Instruction Manual for a listing of Supported
Pixel Display and Refresh Rates.
These connectors display video feeds, G4 graphics and external windowed
video/graphics inputs.
The DVI-I Outputs can be connected to either:
• The touch-panel control display
• The public-view non-touch monitor
Note: The TPI-PRO-DVI does not provide Component (YPbPr) or Interlaced
outputs.
