    Note: When using the V85's Cat-5 video outputs, the total number of outputs can be expanded to 16 using one chassis. Be aware, however, that the video of each Cat-5 output mirrors its corresponding component RCA video output.

    DIP switches are correctly set for each unit to ensure proper switching. Note: When using the V85's Cat-5 video outputs, the total number of outputs can be expanded to 16 using one chassis and 64 outputs using 4 chassis. Be aware, however, that the video of each Cat-5 output mirrors its cor- responding component RCA video output.
  • Page 15: Elan Multi-Room Controller-Based Applications

    V85/S66A When utilizing a S66A Integrated Multi-Room Controller, the V85 can be an economical and versatile video switching solution. In this application, the S66A routes analog audio and performs IR distribution and amplification functions. The V85 routes component video sources to TVs with component video inputs. The system below shares sources between the S66A and a local Home Theater.
  • Page 16: S86A Or S86P Application

    INSTALLATION MANUAL V85/S86A or S86P When utilizing a S86A Integrated Multi-Room Controller, the V85 can be a powerful component video switching add- on. In this application, the S86A routes analog audio and composite video and performs IR distribution and ampli- fication functions.
  • Page 17: S128P Application

    The V85 is used to distribute component video. Although the S128P has component video capabilities, the use of the V85 frees up S128P video inputs and allows them to be used as composite video inputs that can be routed to ELAN touch panels and TV's that do not have component video inputs.

    V85. See Appendix A: CVRM Component Video Receive Module for detailed specifications and dip-switch settings. Control Connections - IR There are two ways to send IR to the V85 using the 3.5mm IR IN port. The IR OUT port passes any IR signal that is TV/Monitor...
  • Page 19: Ir In Port

    IR OUT port (typically an ‘ALL’ port) of an ELAN multi-room controller and the IR IN port of the V85. In this configuration, any IR signal sent from any zone of the multi-room system will be sent to the V85.
  • Page 20: Ir Out Port

    IR OUT Port Any IR signal that is sent into the V85 through the IR IN port is passed out of the IR OUT port. Use the IR OUT port to link multiple V85s or as a convenient way to send signals to additional IR controlled devices, or to IR distribution products such as ELAN’s IRD4 Amplified IR Connection Block, as shown below.
