Status/Control (Touch Screen)

ID

When the ID / Identify button, in the Q-SYS Designer Status component, or the Configurator's Network Configuration for the hardware, or on the physical hardware is pressed, the ID buttons in the Configurator and Status component flash, and the LCD on the physical Hardware flashes to indicate the association between the three.

The indicators will flash for 5 minutes unless you stop them by pressing any one of the buttons.

Status LED

This LED changes color to indicate the current status of the Touchscreen. See Touchscreen Status for the meanings of the various colors.

Touchscreen Status

Displays the current status of the Touchscreen in both text and color. The following is a list of possible status colors, and some example conditions.

OK – Green – (0) – Communication method is good, hardware is good.

Compromised – Orange – (1) – Communication is good but a redundancy mechanism is active (one LAN down but the other is still up) or a non-fatal hardware problem exists (fans too slow, temperature higher than expected, etc.)

Fault – Red – (2) – No communication, or hardware is malfunctioning or mis-configured (amplifier power off, audio streams broken, wrong type of I/O Card installed, loudspeaker short circuit, etc.)

Missing – Red – (3) – A piece of hardware, defined in the design, has not been discovered.

Initializing – Blue – (5) – In the process of firmware, configuration update, and design start.

Not Present – Gray – A virtual component in the design, that is designated as Dynamically Paired, and Not Required ,has no hardware assigned to it.

Clock Offset

(TSC-7t only)

USB Audio Bridge must not be set to Disable to see this control. This text field displays the clock difference between the TSC-7t and the Master Clock. The unit of measure is indicated in the text readout.

Grandmaster

(TSC-7t only)

USB Audio Bridge must not be set to Disable to see this control. The clock master of the network. See ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Time_Protocol#Architecture)

Parent Port

(TSC-7t only)

USB Audio Bridge must not be set to Disable to see this control. The device and interface name that this device is syncing to when it's not the clock master. Usually it is the same as the Grandmaster name.

Input OK

Multi-colored LED indicating the status of the LAN connections to the TSC-7t.

Suppress button

If the "Is Network Redundant" property is set to 'Yes', but the redundant network is not connected, an error is displayed. This button suppresses the error caused by LAN B not being connected.

Input Details

Must have Verbose in the TSC-7t Property set to Yes.

Details concerning the audio input to the TSC-7t.

More

Displays additional information for the USB Audio Inputs and Outputs. For each input and output, SRC+, SRC-, and Reset is displayed.

Active

LED indicating the presence or absence of an audio signal.

Samples

Total number of samples since the audio started, or since the count has been reset.

SRC+

The number of samples added in order to match the USB clock with the Q-SYS PTP clock

SRC-

The number of samples removed in order to match the USB clock with the Q-SYS PTP clock

Reset

Log Off

If a user is required to log on to the TSC, this button can log them off. Refer to the Q-SYS Core Manager User Control Interfaces topic.

UCI

Displays the name of the UCI currently running on the TSC. You can change the currently running UCI if the UCI Assignment is set to Dynamic.

Page

Displays the name of the currently selected page in the UCI. You can click this field and change the viewed page.

Backlight

Controls the brightness of the screen back-lighting.

Dim Timeout

(minutes)

Sets the time from when the screen was last touched until the screen is dimmed.

Off Timeout

(minutes)

Sets the time from when the screen was last touched until the unit is turned off.

If log on is required for the UCI, when this time expires, the user must log on to the UCI again.

On

Momentary button to turn the TSC display on.

Dim

Momentary button to dim the TSC display.

Off

Momentary button to turn the TSC display off.

Disable Popup Numpad

Touch Activity

LED indicates if the touchscreen is actively being touched.

Name

Identifies the Touchscreen component in Q-SYS Designer, enabling the connection between the design and the physical Touchscreen. This name should be the same as the Touchscreen Device Name in the Configurator. Click in the Name property and type the Name.

The name must follow standard naming conventions, restricted to the following:

ASCII characters a - z (case insensitive)

Digits 0 - 9

Hyphen (cannot be at the beginning or end of the name)

Underscore (acceptable with a Q-SYS implementation)

No other characters, symbols, punctuation, or blank spaces.

Location

User defined Location for the Touchscreen. The Location helps to group hardware according to its physical location.

Is Network Redundant

(Only
TSC-7 or TSC-7t)

Indicates if the Touchscreen is connected to redundant networks.

TSC-7t only: If "Is Network Redundant" is set to Yes, the "USB Audio Endpoints" for the selected TSC-7t are not available. If the "USB Audio Endpoints" Speakerphone or Soundcard is set to Yes, the "Is Network Redundant" property is not available.

Is Required

When the hardware is not connected to Q-LAN:

When Is Required is set to Yes, the Status is "Missing" / Red if the hardware does not exist on the network. This is the default behavior.

When Is Required is set to No, the Status is "Not Present" which is not considered an error. The color displayed for "Not Present" equipment is gray.

If a device is dynamically assignable but has not been assigned, it is considered Not Present" even if it is required.

Refer to the Q-SYS Core Manager Dynamic Pairing topic for more information.

Dynamically Paired

Indicates that this virtual component can be paired with the same type of hardware without changing the network id of the hardware, or the name of this component. Refer to the Q-SYS Core Manager Dynamic Pairing topic for more information.

Verbose

(TSC-7t only)

External USB Audio

(TSC-7t only)

Orientation

(TSC G2 only)

Select the orientation to match the touchscreen physical installation. To prevent the need of reinstalling the unit, you can select one of the "flipped" orientations.

Note: When installing a touchscreen in portrait orientation, the Orientation property in the touchscreen Status/Control component and the User Control Interface Properties must both be set to 'Portrait'.

UCI Assignment

The choices are Static, only the specified UCI is used, and Dynamic you can select the UCI when the UCI is running.

USB Bridge Name

The Name given to the USB Bridge. Default name is from the name in the TSC-7t or I/O-8 Flex network Name, for example, TSC-7t-1. This field cannot be empty.
