# Purpose

The purpose of this procedure is to familiarize National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA) personnel with the use of the Touch Panel
Control System.

# Scope

The scope of this document covers the use of various control buttons and
screens associated with the Touch Panel Control System for NASA.

# Overview

In the last 40 years, mankind's quest for knowledge and self discovery
has reached beyond the boundaries of the Earth to the distant stars that
fill our night's skies. In the forefront of this amazing journey, NASA
has been charged with dedicating its resources to expanding mankind's
presence in this new and seemingly limitless frontier. NASA's mission
seeks to serve and inspire Americans as well as the rest of our world in
space exploration, while bringing tremendous benefits to the quality of
each individual life.

Part of NASA's mission is to advance and communicate scientific
knowledge and understanding of the Earth, the solar system, the
universe, and the technology employed for use in the space environment
and various programs. Because of this essential need, multimedia
services (including voice, data, imagery, and video) and technology must
not only be kept current, but meet any future demands placed on it.

The Touch Screen System now being employed by NASA is a state-of-the-art
wired touch panel scheme, which employs a combination of programmable
button functions with the dynamics of multimedia devices. The system
also utilizes customized color screen menus, providing a user-friendly
interface that is fully expandable.

Also, a hand-held remote can be used for call setup. However, its use is
recommended for call setup and call hang-up only.

\* **NOTE**: *If the NEAR button on the hand-held remote is pushed
twice, the video sources may be changed. Always ensure that the first
video source (video camera) is selected as the default source.*

# Start-up and Full Page Screens

All broadcast device functionality is centralized and directly
controlled by the Touch Panel, including some power appliance. The
starting point for using the Touch Panel Control System begins from the
power-down state.

(**NOTE**: *Normally, the power will remain on at all times. However, it
must be taken into consideration that **a cold-startup might be
necessary** if the system has suffered a loss of power.)*

To start, turn on the main power button on the equipment rack. The
equipment will then begin to energize. Allow all equipment to warm-up
for at least 15 minutes. This will stabilize the rack devices for
optimum use. At this time the *System Power Screen* will have appeared
and remained on the Touch Panel (See Figure 1). The system is now ready
for use.

## System Power Screen 

The *System Power Screen* consists of three buttons: *ON* button*, OFF*
button, and Cancel button. These three buttons allow the user to either
power-up the system or shut it down. The shut down sequence, however,
*can only be initiated from the **Main Menu** page.*

![](media/image2.jpeg){width="3.8048611111111112in"
height="2.8569444444444443in"}

Figure 1

### ON button 

![](media/image3.jpeg){width="0.8055555555555556in"
height="0.6145833333333334in"}

When the user presses the *ON* button, the system will immediately
power-up and the *Main Menu* page will be displayed.

### Cancel button 

![](media/image4.jpeg){width="1.4722222222222223in"
height="0.3055555555555556in"}

After the user has finished with all system utilization, they may choose
to end the session by pressing the ShutDown button located on the Main
Menu page. This action will in-turn display the System Power Screen once
again. At this point, should the user then decide that further system
application is still necessary, they may press the Cancel button. The
System Power Screen will then disappear and the Main Menu page will once
more be displayed.

### OFF button 

![](media/image5.jpeg){width="0.875in" height="0.8333333333333334in"}

Selecting the *OFF* button will begin the system power-down sequence.
Immediately after the *OFF* button has been pressed, the *Shutdown in
process* screen (Figure 2) will appear for a few seconds. Afterwards,
the Touch Panel display will return to the *System Power Screen* (See
Figure 1).

Figure 2

## Main Menu page 

The *Main Menu* page is considered the system default page. From this
screen, the user can access any other screen, device or control
settings. Refer to Figure 3. This screen also allows near-end sources to
be previewed along with codec outputs.

This button toggles the *MACR* mode on or off.

When the MACR mode is active, the camera will track the last person to
push a Push-to-talk microphone. The preset button on the Main Menu
associated with the Push-to-talk microphone will also go to an "ON"
status. When the last Push-to-talk microphone button is released, the
camera will wait three seconds and then zoom all the way out. Also while
in this state, attempting to press any of the preset buttons on the Main
Menu will result in no system action.

### FRONT CAMERA PRESETS buttons 

![](media/image29.png){width="1.0in" height="0.4798611111111111in"}

When camera preset is activated, button will appear as being depressed.

The *Preset* buttons 1-10 (Figure 4) will recall any associated preset
camera position *so long as the system is not in the **MACR** mode*. The
last pushed *Preset* button will appear as if depressed while its preset
condition will be sent to the camera.

When camera preset is activated, these buttons also double as microphone
activation indicators. When a button will appear corresponding
microphone has its "*Push-to-Talk*" button enabled, then as the button
is being pressed the border of the corresponding *Preset* button will
turn *Red*. There is no limit to how many microphone indicators can be
on at once.

Preset buttons 11-16 are strictly microphone indicators ***only*** and
work exactly in the same manner (their borders turn *Red*.).

When the system is in *MACR* mode, attempting to press any of the preset
buttons will result in no system action. See Step 4.2.10 --*MACR*
button.

![](media/image30.jpeg){width="5.027777777777778in"
height="1.0416666666666667in"}

**Figure 4**

## Video Teleconferencing Center (VTC) Dial page 

The *VTC Dial* page is used to place video teleconferencing calls, audio
call add-ons, control codec menu options along with several other
functions. Refer to Figure 5. As soon as this screen is accessed, ***the
Main Screen of the Polycom CodecVS-4000 will appear in the video
window***.

![](media/image31.jpeg){width="4.041666666666667in"

This button controls the system's auto-answer functions. These functions
are enabled when the button is pressed once. When the button is pressed
a second time, the functions are disabled.

When the auto-answer function is enabled, all incoming calls are
answered automatically by the codec. As soon as a connection is
established, the AMX turns on the entire system (if the system is not
already on). When the connection is broken for any reason, the warning
window in Figure 6 will appear. The user will then have 5 minutes to
either establish a new call or turn the auto-answer function off. If the
user does neither within that period of time, the AMX will shut down the
system.
