General Information
The Model 1166/56 High Definition AutoSelector
™
complements a wide array of home theater signal sources,
video displays and audio systems. It performs selection of up to six input sources by infrared control, by a
unique AutoSelect
™
process, RS-232 signals, or by manual selection. These inputs may be DVI (1166 only) or
component video and digital or analog audio, or combinations of these signal types, all delivered to the viewer
with their original vividness, brightness and clarity. A special feature of the Model 1166 is its built-in Compo-
nent-to-DVI converter, which enables the DVI output to be active regardless of the type of video available at
the selected input.
This manual addresses Model 1166 and 1156 generally but also includes references to DVI capability
which is available only on the 1166. If you are installing a Model 1156, ignore the references to DVI.
In residences, the functionality of Model 1166 can be greatly enhanced by adding one or more Model 1176
High Definition Cat 5 Matrix Routers, each of which allow up to six remote component video outputs with
digital and analog audio. Remote Wallplates (Model 9878) allow individual source selection by IR remote
control; the output of each Wallplate can also be controlled by the Model 1166. The 1176 delivers component
video, digital audio, and analog audio to each 9878 Wallplate over two Cat 5 cables.
Professional venues, such as clubs and restaurants, can benefit by using Model 1176 to send selectable video
and/or audio to remote locations; but in applications where all displays carry the same content, the Model
1170 High Definition Cat 5 MultiDriver
™
Expander drives multiple Wallplates with the same program content
as the 1166 main component video output.
