Architect and Engineer’s Specifications: TSC-116w-G2 networked touch-screen controller The networked touch-screen controller shall enable control of a Q-SYS system via a full-color LCD screen display with in-plane switching (IPS) technology to drive the liquid crystals and a capacitive touch surface for user input. The controller’s display shall be rectangular with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a diagonal dimension of 11.6 inches (295 mm). It shall have 1920 × 1080 pixel resolution and up to 350 candelas/m2 (or nits) brightness. The display shall be framed by a rectangular black trim 12.3 inches × 7.9 inches (313.6 mm × 201.5 mm). The controller shall be designed to mount on a wall surface and attach to standard North American and European wall and junction boxes in either a landscape or portrait orientation. When mounted, the face of the controller’s panel shall protrude 1.6 inches (39.85 mm) from the wall surface. The controller shall communicate with the Q-SYS core system processor via 1000 Mbps Ethernet using standard TCP/IP protocols and shall have an RJ-45 jack on the rear panel for this purpose. The touch-screen controller’s user control interface (UCI) pages—with graphics, controls, and indicators—shall automatically load from the active Q-SYS design in the Q-SYS core system processor via the Ethernet connection. The UCI pages shall be developed in Q-SYS Designer software using its UCI tool; its supported graphics types shall include such common color or grayscale bitmap formats as .png, .jpg, .svg, and .gif. Any Q-SYS objects that can be placed on the Q-SYS Designer Schematic shall also be placeable on UCI pages; these shall include linear and rotary faders, buttons, meters, indicators, etc. The controller shall be an IEEE 802.3af class 3 device that can be powered through its Ethernet connection from a Power over Ethernet (PoE) supply. It shall also have a locking two-position Euro-style terminal block for +24 V DC auxiliary power (up to 0.5 A) for redundancy or instead of PoE. The controller shall have an operating temperature range of 0 C to 50 C (32° to 122° F) and shall be operable in non-condensing relative humidity as high as 85%. It shall typically dissipate 30 BTU (7.6 kcal) heat per hour but not more than 40 BTU (10.1 kcal) per hour. The networked touch-screen controller shall be the QSC TSC-116w-G2.
