Compatible with Channel Vision’s AB-124 amplified keypad
The P-1044 adheres to the same protocols as Channel Vision’s other CAT5
audio hubs to ensure maximum compatibility. However, some amplified
keypads (such as the AB-114) will not provide control of source selection. If
the keypad provides IR pass through (as does the AB-114), you can use an
A0501 remote control to make source selections. For best results we
recommend using the AB-124 amplified keypad.
The P-1044 is a matrix switcher for Channel Vision’s CAT5 audio system. Any
zone can independently select and listen to any source at any time. Source
selection can be done either from an AB-124 amplified keypad or by using the
A0501 remote control. For details on the A0501 remote control, please refer to
the section of this manual titled “Using the A0501 Remote Control.” The basic
operation of the AB-124 is described below.
Compatibility
How it Works
The
P-1044
is a 4-source, 4-zone matrix switcher for Channel Vision’s
CAT5 audio system. It allows up to four different sources to be played in
four different zones simultaneously, making it perfect for families with a
variety of listening interests. Controlling your music is easy with the
P-1044’s source specific IR repeating which allows independent control
of identical source components. For example, two identical CD players
can be controlled independently.
Common IR output
IR output from all zones
Source specific IR outputs
Only emits IR when a zone has
this source selected
Audio Source inputs
Use RCA inputs to connect conventional audio sources.
Use RJ-45 inputs to connect input modules such as AB-202, AB-301, and AB-311.
Power Connector
Use AB-T2454 power supply
Link In/Link Out
Allows for easy expansion
by transferring IR signals to
multiple units.
4 Zone Outputs
Allows connection of AB-124 keypads
Provides for either 110 or RJ-45 (see note under LED Indicators)
LED Indicators
Blue LED indicates that the zone is active.
Red LED indicates which connector is being used.
Note:
Each zone will only support 1 keypad.
If keypads are connected to both the RJ-45 and 110 connectors, only
the keypad connected to the RJ-45 will be active and the red LED
near the RJ-45 connector will be illuminated.
Using the AB-124 Amplified keypad...
The Pwr (power) button located at the lower left of the keypad is also used for
source selection. When the AB-124 is powered on, press and release the
power button to scroll through the input sources. As you change sources,
you’ll notice that the top 4 LEDs illuminate corresponding to the source you
have selected. When source one is selected, the first LED is illuminated,
when source two is selected, the second LED is illuminated, and so on.
After a source is selected the LED will stay lit for 5
seconds, then it will return to showing the current
volume level.
Volume adjustments can be made using the
up/down buttons to the right hand side of the
keypad. The keypad can be controlled from the
A0501 remote control (see the section titled: Using
the A0501 remote control for more details).
