Additional S12 Connections

The following sections describe all connections that are made directly to the S12.

IR Connections

Source IR Emitter Output Connections
The S12 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 separate control. For
ELAN multi-output sources such as VIA!dj or DTNR, VIA!
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 S12 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 instal-
lations, 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.

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