Soft-Touch Buttons
The TSW-550 includes five soft-touch capacitive buttons for quick access to commonly used functions. The buttons are pre-labeled with icons for "Power", "Home", "Lights", "Up", and "Down" functions. Each button is programmable via the control system for custom functionality.Streaming Video
High-performance streaming video capability makes it possible to view security cameras and other video sources right on the touch screen. Native support for H.264 and MJPEG formats allows the TSW-550 to display live streaming video from an IP camera, a streaming server (Crestron CEN-NVS200 or similar[2]), or a DigitalMedia™ switcher. Video is delivered to the touch screen over Ethernet, eliminating the need for any extra video wiring.Rava® SIP Intercom
Rava SIP Intercom Technology enables hands-free VoIP communication with other Rava-enabled touch screens and door stations. Rava works over Ethernet, supporting 2-way intercom, video intercom[3], and paging without any special wiring. VoIP phone capability is also possible through integration with an SIP-compatible IP phone system or SIP server, allowing hands-free telephone functionality complete with speed-dialing, caller ID, custom ringers, and other enhancements. Built-in echo cancellation affords full-duplex performance for clear, seamless voice communication using the TSW-550's integrated microphone and speakers.Audio Feedback
Customized audio files can be loaded to add another dimension to the touch screen graphics using personalized sounds, button feedback, and voice prompts.Single-Wire Connectivity
A simple Ethernet LAN connection is all that is required to wire the TSW-550, containing all control, video, intercom, and power signals within a single wire.Power over Ethernet
Using PoE technology, the TSW-550 gets its operating power right through the LAN wiring. PoE (Power over Ethernet) eliminates the need for a local power supply or any dedicated power wiring. A PoE Injector (PWE-4803RU[2]) simply connects in line with the LAN cable at a convenient location. Crestron PoE switches (CEN-SW-POE-5 or CEN-SWPOE-16[2]) may also be used to provide a total networking solution with built-in PoE.Simple, Versatile Mounting
The TSW-550 installs easily into drywall and other surfaces using the included TSW-UMB Universal Mounting Bracket. The TSW-UMB provides a post-construction wall mounting solution that is compatible with a variety of current and future Crestron devices, allowing the device to be changed at any time without having to cut or patch the wall, or order any additional mounting hardware. Pre-construction mounting applications are also accommodated using the included TSW-UMB-PMK Pre-Construction Mounting Kit. A back box option (TSW-550-BBI[2]) is also available for concrete and masonry applications.When installed, the touch screen protrudes just 1/2 inch from the mounting surface and is magnetically adhered to the mounting bracket, eliminating any visible screws for an ultra clean appearance.Tabletop Option
Using the optional Tabletop Kit (TSW-550-TTK[2]), the TSW-550 becomes a stylish, freestanding touch screen that fits perfectly on a table, desk, or countertop. It can even be permanently attached to the surface using the optional Swivel Mount Kit (TSW-550/750/1050-SMK[2]).
