VG-Series Modero Touch Panels
Step 4: Setup a streaming page within TPDesign4
1. Launch TPDesign4 (default location is Start > Programs > AMX Control Disc > TPDesign4 >
TPDesign4). Refer to the TPDesign4 Instruction Manual for more detailed instructions of these
procedures.
2. From the menu bar, select File > New (or click the New Project toolbar button).
3. From within the Step 1 dialog, enter a generic Job name and use the Panel Type drop-down arrow to
choose a VG-Series panel (1200VG, 1500VG, or 1700GVG).
For the purpose of these procedures, we’ve chosen to use a Job Name of Test and have
selected an NXD-1700VG touch panel (FIG.132).
4. Fill in the fields within the remaining New Project Wizard dialogs and click Next at the end of each
dialog to proceed final dialog.
5. Click the Finish button in the last dialog to close the wizard and proceed to the first generic page
which is ready for you to start adding pages, popup pages, and buttons.
6. Add a new page to the project by selecting Page > Add Page (or click the toolbar icon) which opens
the Add Page dialog, where you can then enter a descriptive name for the new page in the Name
field such as Full Screen Video (UDP).
Note that although a page cannot directly be setup to display a video stream, a user can create
a full-screen button on that same page which can be configured to fill its contents with a video
stream.
7. Press the Button Draw Tool (CTRL+U) to begin drawing a square button onto the blank page
(FIG.1 32).
8. Press the Selection Tool (CTRL+L) to grab the new button and stretch it to fill a desired area of the
page. For our procedures, we stretched the new button to fill the entire available are of the newly
created page (FIG. 133).
9. With the button currently selected and active, navigate to the left section of the Workspace and find
the Button Properties Control window (FIG. 133).
