The CT-1 IR integrator is the keystone to any multi-CT Receiver install. A single CT-1 can integrate control
for up to three CT Receivers, one B&K Home Theater preamplifier/receiver, nine shared sources and one
CK1.2 Keypad. The CT-1 uses IR as the communication interface between units, it can also pass RS-232 for
control of a Home Theater piece. Should future expansion be desired, a CT-1 easily allows additional CT
Receivers to be added to the whole house system. Up to 11 CT-1 IR Integrators can be combined to
accommodate 21 CT Receivers or 126 zones. The CT-1 can be thought of as the common hub for IR control
of the entire CT system. Each source is connected directly to the CT-1 along with any CT Receivers installed
in the system. All zones will have the ability to control all nine sources when the CT-1 is used.
One CT-1 IR Routing System Integrator provides a system with connections for up to:
One B&K Home Theater Preamplifier or Receiver with Keypads
And
Three CT610/600/310 Multi-Zone Receivers with Keypads
And
Nine shared sources.
Some additional features and benefits associated with the CT-1 are as follows:
1.
Multiple CT Receivers are flawlessly controlled using IR from any or all of the CT610/600/310 multi-
zone receiver keypads.
2.
The B&K Home Theater CK1.2 Keypad or SR10.1 Remote control can be programmed to control any
source or zone in the system.
3.
Up to 7 non-identical sources can be shared between the Theater Zone and the rest of the house
zones. The entire system can also be controlled directly from the Theater Zone using the CT-1.
4.
Any keypad in any zone can be programmed to control any other zone, including the B&K Home
Theater and Whole House.
5.
In the case that additional zones wish to be added, the CT-1 allows for easy future hardware
expansion of additional CT Receivers and source gear.
