Crestron Isys™ TPS-TPI Touchpanel Interface
Appendix A: WAV File Audio Messages
The TPS-TPI touchpanel interface is capable of playing audio messages as system
prompts and responses. These files are recorded as WAV files on a PC using an
audio utility such as Sound Recorder that is packaged with Microsoft Windows
95/98/NT™. Files from other sources may also be converted to an acceptable format
by using this or a similar utility. Many other audio utilities are available
commercially or as shareware.
The TPS-TPI touchpanel interface only accepts the following WAV file formats:
• PCM
• 8000, 11025, 16000, 22050, and 44100 Hz
• 8 and 16 Bit
• Mono and Stereo
NOTE: If the Sound Recorder program is not available on the PC, select Start |
Help at the Windows taskbar. Click on the Index tab and type in Sound Recorder.
For Windows 95/NT, double-click the installing entry. For Windows 95/98/NT,
follow the directions provided to add the Sound Recorder program. (The Sound
Recorder is part of the Multimedia component). The Windows
 install CD is
required.
This section mentions the location of the Crestron pre-recorded files and contains
descriptions as well as procedures on how to use Sound Recorder to record, edit, and
convert WAV file messages. For more information about how to use Sound
Recorder, refer to its User’s Guide and extensive help information provided with the
software. The last section of this appendix describes how to attach WAV files to a
VT Pro-e project.
Downloadable WAV Files
Pre-recorded WAV files for voice prompts and responses are available from
Crestron. These files can be stored into and programmed for use in the TPS-TPI
directly or may be edited with the Sound Recorder. For example, the individual files
can be combined to create custom messages. "To Create WAV Messages from
Individual Files" on page 28 describes how to create custom messages.
NOTE: WAV files (formatted specifically for the TPS-TPI touchpanel interface)
can be obtained from the Downloads page (WAV_ISYS Library) of the Crestron
website (
www.crestron.com) . New users are required to register in order to obtain
access to the FTP site.
These WAV files are different than those made available for other Crestron products.
Be sure to use only those WAV files designated for the TPS-TPI touchpanel
interface.
