Crestron Home OS Control
The TSW‑760 may be used to control a Crestron Home® OS whole home solution. Select the Crestron Home app from the touch screen to control lighting, shades, climate, media, security, and cameras, including the ability to create and recall scenes that create a desired ambiance throughout a home. A TSW‑760 may be installed in each room in the home to provide easy access to the room's environmental and media subsystems.
2N® Door Station Integration
The TSW‑760 may be integrated with a supported 2N® door station11 via the touch screen's built‑in Rava SIP intercom to provide a door station solution for Crestron Home or other residential systems. When a call is initiated on the 2N door station, the video and audio feed is displayed on the TSW‑760. Controls are provided on the touch screen to answer or decline the call, and Crestron Home quick actions (such as "open gate") may be performed while the call is in progress. A "do not disturb" option is also provided to prevent calls from appearing on the TSW‑760.
Wall or Lectern Mounting Options
Using the bracket provided, the TSW‑760 is easily installed over a 2‑gang or 3‑gang US electrical box, or a 2‑gang European or UK electrical box. The same bracket allows for installation in a wooden lectern or podium over a rectangular cutout. When installed, the touch screen protrudes only 1/2 in. out from the mounting surface and leaves no visible screws for an ultra clean appearance. A security latch option is included to deter unauthorized removal of the touch screen.
Additional mounting options are afforded using the TSW‑UMB‑60 universal mounting bracket:12
- Can be used by itself as a postconstruction solution for retrofitting the TSW‑760 into existing drywall.

The TS‑7‑MSMK3 allows a TSW‑760 touch screen to be mounted directly to virtually any flat surface, which is ideal for mounting at the entrance to a meeting space for room scheduling applications. The TSW‑760/1060‑MSMK3 provides a similar surface mounting solution that can also be mounted over a conventional electrical box. When installed using the TSW‑760/1060‑MSMK, the touch screen is angled upwards at a 20° tilt.
When installing the TSW‑760 in place of an older Crestron touch screen (APAD, CT‑1000, LC‑1000, TPS‑4L, or TPS‑2000L series), Crestron offers retrofit mounting brackets (TSW‑60‑RMB series3), which facilitate replacement without having to tear out the old mounting hardware or patch the wall.
Other Mounting Options
Using the optional tabletop kit (TSW‑760‑TTK3), the TSW‑760 becomes a stylish, freestanding touch screen that fits perfectly on a table, desk, or countertop. It can even be permanently attached to the surface using the optional swivel mount kit (TSW‑560/760/1060‑SMK3). The TSW‑760 can also be mounted in a 19 in. EIA equipment rack using the optional rack mount kit (TSW‑560/760‑RMK‑13). When rack mounted, the touch screen occupies three rack spaces.
