Introduction
Features and Functions
The Crestron
®
Professional Video Distribution Switch, CNX-PVID8x4, is a CAT5
video distribution system that is capable of delivering video from a large number of
separate video sources like DVD players, DSS receivers, tuners, VCRs, and cameras
into a multitude of separate rooms or areas. The exact number of input sources and
output destinations depend on how the unit is to be used in a system and whether or
not it is connected to a Crestron Room Solution Box (CNXRMC or CNXRMCLV).
Its unique design and phenomenal flexibility remove design and installation
constraints from residential systems integration. This unit can provide professional
quality far above the level of consumer-grade equipment for sophisticated home
theaters, kitchens, bedrooms, offices, and outdoor areas. Fully integrated with the
Crestron control system as a network device, the CNX-PVID8x4 is a key component
in the Crestron Home
®
complete solution for distributing audio, video, and control
throughout the home.
