Page 8: Control Connections & Settings
Control Connections - IR There are two IR pathways into the V883 - the 3.5mm IR IN port on the rear and the IR Receiver on the front. The IR OUT port passes out any IR signal that is sent to the V883’s rear IR IN port or the front IR Receiver. - Page 9 IR OUT Port Any IR signal that is sent into the V883 through the IR IN port or IR Receiver is passed out of the IR OUT port. Use the IR OUT port to link multiple V883s 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.

Use the SERIAL PORTS when a computer or third-party RS-232 controller will be used to control the V883. When using ELAN devices like the VIA!2-SS1, VIA!SC-4, or VIA! Touch Panels, it is best to use VIA!NET to control the V883. -

Page 14: Video Connections
Wiring Use high-quality component video cables to make connections between sources and the V883’s inputs. Sources will typically be located near the V883 at the head-end of the system. Component video outputs will typically be sent via RG-6 coaxial cable from the head-end to televisions and/or monitors located throughout the house. -
Page 15: Cvwp Component Video Wall Plate Kit
ELAN’s CVWP Component Video Wall Plate Kit makes an ideal companion accessory to the V883 when long video wiring runs are necessary. The CVWP converts compo- nent video cable runs to Cat-5 and allows them to travel up to 500 feet with no image quality degradation. -

Although the S12 has component video capabilities, the use of the V883 frees up inputs and outputs so that more composite video sources may be used and more composite video outputs can be sent to more VIA!s. -

• Unit will ignore all characters preceding the ‘&’. It will process and ACK the command as soon as the carriage return has been received. Note: The V883 requires at least 50ms between each serial command transmitted to it. However, if the &V883,ACK,xxx<CR> is received prior to 50ms, another command can be transmitted immediately. -
