Enhanced Touchpanel Control—In every sense, the TPMC-15-CH-L is a true Crestron touchpanel, offering vibrant 24-bit color depth with 8-bit alpha channel transparency to produce incredible 3D graphics using new dynamic menu objects, dynamic graphics, full-motion animations, multimode objects, PNG translucency, and exclusive SynapseTM image rendering – all with astonishing speed. But more than a touchpanel, the TPMC-15-CH-L is also a dynamic resource for managing routine online tasks and enjoying streaming music and video, and a high-resolution video monitor with performance rivaling the best LCD flat-panel displays available.
Embedded PC—The power of Isys i/O is in its embedded PC engine, combining rock solid touchpanel performance with enhanced capabilities for surfing the Internet, streaming digital media, and viewing online documents.

Plus, support for Yahoo! Widgets affords an easy solution for integrating everything from calendars and clocks to stock tickers, weather forecasts, news feeds, and thousands of other fun and useful utilities.
Dual-Window HD Video2—In addition to its internal PC and streaming video applications, the TPMC-15-CH-L can also simultaneously display two fully-scalable, full-motion video windows. Each window supports standard video and HDTV formats from external sources.

Advanced gamma correction and built-in time base correction ensure accurate color reproduction and a jitter-free image.
High-QualityAudio—An integrated microphone, biamplified speakers, stereo headphone output, and PC audio output are all built into the touchpanel to support full AV, intercom, desktop conferencing, and multimedia computer capabilities. Customized WAV files can be loaded on the touchpanel
