Audio/Video Signal Routing

Distribution of both Balanced and Digital Audio from the
Headend

In this scenario, the BIPAD8 distributes balanced audio to the room via CAT5. In the
room, a Crestron CNX-PBAR4 or third-party balanced-to-unbalanced transformer
should be used to convert the balanced audio to an unbalanced output. Digital audio
is made available in the room via the CNXRMC as described in the previous
scenario.
