Multi-Room Connections
The TGM-100 is a versatile device capable of communi-
cating with a number of multi-room control systems. The
installation and confi guration of such complex control sys-
tems varies, depending on the manufacturer. We recom-
mend that you do not attempt installation with such devices
before acquiring training or documentation from the control
system manufacturer.
The illustration below shows a typical multi-room confi gura-
tion, incorporating a TGM-100 Server, TGM-100C Clients
and different types of external storage devices. Output
channels from the TGM-100 may be connected to a multi-
room control system so that they can be distributed to
different rooms around the home. In order for the TGM-100

to communicate with the multi-room control system, a con-
nection must be made using either infrared, RS232 or IP,
depending on the control system.
Each TGM-100C Client in the system acts as an additional
independent digital and analog video and audio output.
TGM-100C Clients only support external storage via a
TGM-100 Server.
