System Overview
Configuration
You can install the PAN6400 VDC alone or in conjunction with Musica, DigiLinX, or
other control systems. In any of these configurations, you can also install multiple
PAN6400 VDCs to add additional zones or signals.
Standalone
You can use the Panorama as a standalone video distribution and control system.
Panorama can switch video and control both video sources and displays without a
third-party controller. The PAN6400 VDC can connect to video sources with
component, composite, or S-Video cables.
The displays are controlled either locally with the display’s remote control or from the
headend with learned IR commands stored in the PAN6400 VDC.
The sources are controlled by learned IR stored in the VDC. Panorama also offers IR
pass-through with the PANVP700 to control the source using the source’s remote
control.
Two or more PAN6400 VDCs can be connected in a cascade to increase the number of
rooms where the video and audio sources are distributed. Each VDC adds six more
zones, while the sources available for distribution remains at four. For an example of a
cascaded configuration, see
Figure 3-6 on page 3-9 .
Integrated with the Musica
When Panorama is integrated with the NetStreams Musica 5000 Series Multi-Room
Audio & Control system, the two systems are virtually plug and play. Use the Musica
MU5066ADC to distribute analog audio and the PAN6400 VDC to distribute
balanced, line-level video.
The PANVP500 (VP500) Video Port connects as many as six displays to each
PAN6400 VDC. The AP450 or AP500 Audio Ports provide fixed or variable audio
output and/or local source input. The Musica keypads control all of the audio and
video functions as well as IR pass-through functions via the IR receiver window on the
front of the keypad.
