  • Page 1 Intersekt Stuff interskt.doc 18th November 1996 This document is in addition to the Knektips.doc, please read the Knektips.doc prior to reading this manual. The Intersekt is a product which significantly enhances the capability of a Knekt system. If you have comments or queries about the information contained in this document please contact Linn..
  • Page 2: Table Of Contents

    Intersekt adds the following capabilities to a Knek t multi-room system. Contents Any source in the main system can be distributed to any room, simultaneously..Main system sources can be controlled independently..........Individual rooms can be allocated certain sources............Main system sources can be situated remotely from the main system pre-amp.
  • Page 3: Any Source In The Main System Can Be Distributed To Any Room, Simultaneously

    Lets take these one at a time..Any source in the Main System can be distributed to any Room, simultaneously. As opposed to a standard Line Driver based Knekt system where the Main System pre- amp RECORD output is distributed to all Rooms, the Intersekt enables the distribution and control of up to 16 sources to any Room simultaneously.
  • Page 4: Main System Sources Can Be Controlled Independently

    Main System sources can be controlled independently. A Line Driver based system transmits all control commands to ALL Main System sources, e.g. a [ PLAY ] command will be sent round the entire Linn Line Remote Loop AND echoed from each IR repeater output.
  • Page 5: Individual Rooms Can Be Allocated Certain Sources

    Individual Rooms can be allocated certain sources. Up to Installation software V1.03. With a Line Driver system all Main System sources are available in all Rooms. You could determine the amount of control over each source but ALL sources can be ‘listened to’. Installation software V2.00: Introduced with the Intersekt.
  • Page 6: Main System Sources Can Be Situated Remotely From The Main System Pre-Amp

    A Kairn will respond to pre-amp commands from the Linn Line Remote input. A Wakonda/Majik does NOT have any Linn Line Remote sockets or circuitry. When a Sneaky Receiver is installed in a Wakonda/Majik the Linn Line Remote sockets are for comms with local Linn sources.

    Expandable - up to 16 sources distributed to up to 128 Rooms. The Intersekt ‘boxes’ come in three configurations..Intersekt R8S8 a STANDALONE box that will distribute 8 sources to up to 8 Rooms. This box is NOT expandable, it is a one off solution for customers who will NEVER have a requirement to exceed the 8x8 limit.

  • Page 12: Designated Rooms Can Have Volume Control Over Another Room Or Rooms

    Designated Rooms can have Volume control over another Room or Rooms During the installation of an Intersekt system Rooms can be allocated to a GROUP or GROUPS, and within a GROUP certain Room RCU’s can be specified as having Volume control over ALL other Rooms in that GROUP.
  • Page 13: Designated Rooms Can Access Record Functions In The Main System

    Designated Rooms can access Record functions in the Main system. The Record functions of the Main System VCRs or Tapedecks can ONLY be accessed by the RCU’s allocated that facility at system installation. At present, this facility can present you with a few potential ‘funnies’..read on..R8S8 has 1 Room expansion card.
  • Page 14: Global Clock Updates To All Rcu's

    Global Clock updates to all RCU’s. In a 128 Room Intersekt system it would be a bit of a job to go round all 128 Rooms and update each RCU clock when the clocks change twice a year !!!! With Intersekt, when the clock is changed on an RCU the customer is invited to send the new TIME to ALL RCU’s in the system.
  • Page 15: Switch Off The Entire Knekt System From One Rcu

    With an Intersekt system with RER16 and SES8 make sure that you switch on the SES8 FIRST. Otherwise the SES8 doesn’t now what Sources are IR controlled, it assumes that every source is a Linn source (which it should be guv!). Switching OFF the Intersekt system.
  • Page 16: Other Stuff - Hints And Tips

    Communication between the Main System RCU and the Main System Kairn are via the Linn Line Remote sockets of Source 1 on the Intersekt. The Main System RCU should be connected to the RCU RJ45 socket of Room 1 on the Intersekt.

  • Page 18: L Install

    Linstall Interface Position: This box is only shown in an Intersekt system. It is to tell the Intersekt what RCU is connected to which Room socket.As an Intersekt system can be have upto 128 room it has to now what room is what RCU. The large (first) box is the ID of the Intersekt board.
  • Page 19: Interface Position With Tape Or Vcr Sources

    When Loading the RCU’s the Linstall tells you to connect the Room Interface 1. If it find that Room Interface 2 is connected, it asks if you want to re-name this as Room Interface The Intersekt Room Interface boards can be re-named, as long as the RCU’s serial No’s in the Linstall are connected to the Room Interface board number.

    Intersekt, problem loading RCU’s! PROBLEM When using the Intersekt RER16 there can be a problem loading the second interface. For example if the RCU at position 1:7 on interface 1 fails to load then you will not be able to load room interface 2 or any after that.
  • Page 22 You should find that the system is correctly loaded and works perfectly (As if!). The last two instructions were put in for completeness with the aim of putting things back as they were when you started. This method can be extended to cover subsequent Intersekts. Contents...
  • Page 23: No Audio!

    The RED LED also tells you that the Power supply on the Knekt-R isn’t strong enough. Disconnect the RCU. If eveything comes alive check that the cable to the RCU OK! Also Check that the Supply is a Linn supply and it is the correct Mains voltage.
