There are many possible applications when using the V883 in ELAN Multi-Room
Controller-based systems. This section shows basic concepts that can be combined
or arranged according to the needs of the exact system being installed.

V883/System6

When utilizing a System6 Integrated Multi-Room Controller (S6), the V883 can be an
economical and versatile video switching solution. In this application, the S6 routes
analog audio and performs IR distribution and amplification functions. The V883
routes component video (DVD and HDTV) sources to TVs with component video
inputs and routes composite video (VIA!Quad w/ cameras) to TVs without component
video inputs and to VIA! Touch Panels. The system below shares sources between
the S6 and a local Home Theater. A local A/V receiver in the Home Theater is used
to play digital audio from the shared DVD and HDTV sources.
Important Note: When using the V883 as a composite video switcher, please be
aware that the same input type (Y, P
for each input (source) and each output (TV/VIA!). In the example below, the Y
inputs/outputs have been chosen for composite video.
