Source IR Emitter Output Connections
The S128P features 12 source-specific IR emitter outputs. Each of these outputs is active only when the assigned
source is selected. This makes it possible to use identical source components and still have the capability of sepa-
rate control. For ELAN multi-output sources such as VIA!dj or DTNR, VIA!TOOLS setup software will automatically
route IR out of each IR port that the source is assigned to. The example below shows a VIA!dj that is connected to
Audio Inputs 1, 2, 3, and 4. Any of IR Emitter Outputs 1 through 4 can be used to control the VIA!dj. To connect non-
ELAN multi-output sources, see IR 'ALL' Output Port Connections below.

IR 'ALL' Output Port Connections
Two 'ALL' IR outputs are provided for controlling additional components such as TVs or A/V Receivers that may
require control regardless of the source currently selected. These ports are chassis-specific and always active: any
IR signal sent into S128P Chassis #1 comes out the 'ALL' IR outputs of Chassis #1 as shown below. When a non-
ELAN multi-output source requires control from more than one chassis, an ELAN Dual Plug IR emitter should be
used. The 'ALL' ports are also useful when controlling several non-identical sources. For really large installations, an
'ALL' port can be routed to an IR Distribution Block and sent to several sources.
Note: 'ALL' IR port functionality does not span chassis.

Note: When using more than
2 Chassis, multiple ELAN
dual-jack IR mini-emitters must
be used for multi-output
non-ELAN sources!
