CUSTOM BACKGROUNDS AND TRANSPARENT GTL’S
The transparent GTL feature is available for use on ALL versions of SmartPad LCD™ Controllers (SPLCD39G,

Rack, Volume Bars or for the full effect, images of rooms with windows, lights, A/V equipment, thermostats, etc.
Anything that can be controlled via the SPLCD (IR/RS232) and that can have a BMP or PNG image associated
as a Custom Background can be part of a truly custom control system.
