Preparing your panel for Pass-Thru Control (using the NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box)

Pass-thru control allows the NXA-AVB/RGB to act as a control bridge between the USB input signals (coming from a touch panel via the NXA-RGB card) and a target computer.

The pass-thru is routed from the USB Input device, through the panel, then through internal NXA-RGB card and to the front RGB RJ-45 connector on the NXA-AVB/RGB. From there the signal is routed through the rear USB port on the breakout box and finally to the target PC. Refer to FIG. 7 for a visual representation.

Pass-thru must be enabled to control devices through the NXA-RGB card when using USB-compatible control devices.

Refer to the following commands to enable pass-thru on the RGB card: ^MPS on page 225 for Mouse pass-thru and ^KPS on page 225 for the keyboard pass-thru.

The two available USB input connections on the touch panel can be used to provide either Keyboard and/or Mouse signals between the PC and the panel. You are no longer limited to one mouse and one keyboard. You can use USB hubs and multiple mice/keyboards in any configuration.

When setting up pass-thru computer control its important to focus on the following areas:

1.Properly connect the NXA-AVB/RGB to both a target PC and touch panel using the appropriate cabling. Refer to the following Wiring for Pass-Thru Computer Control section on page 27 for more detailed information.

2.Enable pass-thru via the use of either the ^MPS or ^KPS commands (page 225).

3.Set up a touch panel page (via TPDesign4) with the necessary Video Fill > (Component/RGB video) properties selected.

Video Fill allows you to select from a drop-down list of video formats that are supported by the touch panel specified in your project. VG-Series Modero panels (1200VG, 1500VG and 1700VG) support Composite video, Component/RGB video, and Streaming video formats.

Selecting Component/RGB allows you to route a video signal from your computer through the NXA-AVB/RGB and then to the panel.

Selecting Streaming Video requires that you enter the URL or IP Address of the server that will provide the video stream.

Note that Streaming Source is only available as a Video Fill option if the project specifies a touch panel that supports streaming video (NXD/NXT-1200VG, NXD/NXT-1500VG, and NXD/NXT-1700VG only).

4.Set up a touch panel page (via TPDesign4) with the necessary Video Touch Pass-thruproperty (yes) selected.

Video Pass-Thru allows you to pass touch/control information from a touch input device (touch panel, mouse or keyboard) through an NXA-AVB/RGB to a controlled device with video-out capabilities. Select Yes from the drop-down menu to enable video pass-thru (disabled by default). This feature is also used in conjunction with the ^MPS (mouse pass-thru) and ^KPS (keyboard pass-thru) commands.
