Dedicated Video Source Inputs

Dedicated source inputs should be used for sources that are intended for use in only one zone. When linked to
a CT Receiver, the dedicated source inputs have the capability to be auto-selected when video presence is
detected. In addition when a zone’s current state is off, video detection may also be set to power on the zone.
Once the video signal is no longer detected, the zone will return to its previous state. The dedicated source input
auto-selection may be disabled if desired. Each of the 6 dedicated inputs are referred to by the zone letter they
correspond to, i.e. IN A = Zone A. All dedicated inputs accommodate component video, S-Video and composite
video in the same fashion as the common video source inputs 1 through 9. No video scaling is applied to
dedicated input signals.  

BUFFERED VIDEO SOURCE OUTPUTS

One buffered line output is provided for each source input, IN 1 through IN 9. Sometimes referred to as loop
through outputs, the buffered video outputs pass the video present on the nine source inputs. The buffered video
output is designed to be terminated by the 75 ohm input stage of another device. The buffered outputs allow
easy cascading of multiple units and minimize signal degradation that might occur with other external splitters
and adapters. For use with composite or S-Video, you need only connect to the appropriate Red (composite) or
Green (Y) and Blue (C) (S-Video). However, for future expansion, you may wish to loop through all buffered
outputs using standard RCA (RGB) cables.
