S128P
INSTALLATION MANUAL
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
S128P A/V 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 new '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 the16 video outputs of the S128P.
Video Switching
The vast array of built-in video switching features is part of what makes the S128P so powerful! When properly
configured, large video routing projects become a simple matter of "Auto-Building" IR or RS-232 commands
using VIA!TOOLS or ELANTOOLS setup software. The S128P has a 16 input by 16 output video switcher that can
distribute Composite, Component and High Definition video to any zone. The number of video sources, and the
number of zones that they can be distributed to, depends on whether you are using single-input/output Composite
video signals, or 3-input/output Component video signals. The tables below show the video switcher's distribution
capabilities with different combinations of Composite/Component video sources.
