Composite INPUT/ZONE OUTPUT
Use high-quality composite video cables to make connections between sources and the V8's inputs. Sources will
typically be located near the V8 at the head-end of the system. Composite video outputs will typically be sent via
coaxial cable from the head-end to televisions, monitors and/or ELAN Touch Panels located throughout the house.
Note: ELAN recommends using RG-59 or RG-6 with a copper braid and a solid copper center conductor.
PV12 Video Precision Panel
The PV12 Video Precision Panel provides a clean and easy way to connect up to 12 runs of coaxial cable to the V8
Video Controller. Twelve gold-plated F-to-RCA barrel connectors are mounted on flanges angled at 45 degrees. The
angled flanges ensure that all coax runs slide easily back into the wall after termination, and that the cables are not
bent past their specified limits, which can cause damage resulting in signal loss. The PV12 is one of ELAN's 'half-
frame' Precision Panels. Two 'half-frame' panels can be mounted in one PF2 Precision Panel Frame, giving you the
flexibility to mix and match the Precision Panels needed to complete a neat, problem-free trim-out. Two PV12s can
be mounted in one frame to accommodate the 24 video connections of the V8.
Use F-to-RCA adaptors to connect high quality composite video cables to each TV, monitor or ELAN Touch Panel.
Note: Maximum coaxial wire run is 300 feet.
