Overview
The NXP-TPI/4 (FIG. 1) is a touch panel interface that supports AMX’s 4th
generation graphics (G4) consisting of both rich colors and support for
high-contrast images. This G4 interface device is capable of mixing
Video/RGB inputs and then combining those inputs with graphics, which can
then be displayed on a variety of monitors.
