AMX NXD/NXT-1200VG, NXD/NXT-1500VG manual Multimedia Streaming Video Touch Panels VG-Series

Introduction

Introduction

AMX has taken a quantum leap forward with the release of their new VG-Series of Modero touch panels. These panels offer streaming MPEG video, high-definition Component RGB input and display, USB support for extended input devices, and panel programming via a mini-USB port.

The new G4 graphics and Video/RGB technology is supported by the release of the latest TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design Program. These video-capable panels support several video formats: NTSC, SECAM, and PAL (Color Active (CA) panels don’t support video).

Multimedia Streaming Video Touch Panels (VG-Series)

Although these panels are similar to the 1200V models, in that they both share connectors for USB communication and Audio/Video distribution; the VG-Series far exceed those panels by additionally providing RGB Component video display, MPEG streaming technology, and pass-thru computer control.

These panels are capable of NTSC/PAL/SECAM video formats within variable sized video windows. These VG-Series panels display HDTV Component video (fed from an external NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box and then through an internal NXA-RGB card). In addition to composite video support, the new VG-Series of panels now feature USB connectivity for mouse and keyboard, and pre-installed antennas for all Table Top models.

Powered by a cutting-edge DSP core, the VG-Series has the muscle to handle digital streaming (both video and audio), in wired or wireless configurations. These Moderos feature full support for standard MPEG-2 streaming video as well as MP3 and AAC streaming audio.

The NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box (FG2254-11) facilitates the installation and distribution of video (Composite and Component), data, audio, and pass-thru Computer Control to Modero touch panels located up to 200 feet (60.96 m) from the NXA-AVB/RGB box.

The VG-Series of touch panels can be fitted for either Video (Composite) or RGB (Component) via the use of two Kit configurations: Video Kit and RGB Kit. Each kit comes with its own group of standard components that are specific to its configuration. Although a panel can be order with either of these kits; a previously fitted Video Kit panel can be later upgraded to accept and display RGB Component via the use of an RGB upgrade package called the NXA-RGBKIT (FG2255-11). This upgrade kit supplements the existing Video fitted panel (FG225X-XXV) with such things as an internal NXA-RGB interface card and an external NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box.

The Video Kit fitted units can accept either Composite or S-Video from standard video devices. These Composite video panels include those listed below:
