When integrated with Musica, you can mirror multiple PAN6400 VDCs and have them
function as a single VDC to increase the number of connections. When mirroring two
PAN6400 VDCs, you increase the connections per source from three to six.
As with standalone configurations, you can cascade a configuration with PAN6400
VDC and Musica to add additional zones.
You can include a Musica MUR2EM Network Interface in the integrated installation.
This allows the system to be controlled from a web browser.
Integrated with DigiLinX or Third-Party Control Systems
The Panorama video distribution system also integrates with the NetStreams DigiLinX
IP-Based Multi-Room Audio and Control system or other control systems through
RS-232 connections.
The PAN6400 VDC distributes balanced, line-level video and controls displays.
DigiLinX controls the PAN6400 VDC switching functions through a ControLinX™
driver and distributes the video sources’ audio over the DigiLinX network using a
MediaLinX™ for each source. Each MediaLinX also serves as the controller for each
video source.
PAN6400 VDC can also distribute S/PDIF digital audio to audio-video (A/V)
receivers in tandem with MediaLinX distributing the audio over network when using
S-Video or composite video connections. Alternatively, you can mirror multiple
PAN6400 VDCs and have them function as a single VDC to increase the number of
connections. This allows you to distribute component video from one PAN6400 VDC
and coaxial digital (S/PDIF) audio from the other PAN6400 VDC.
You can cascade a configuration with PAN6400 VDC and DigiLinX integrated to add
additional zones. This requires a ControLinX for each Panorama.
The Panorama can send and receive RS-232 commands allowing third-party
controllers to use the Panorama as a video switcher. The same general wiring
procedure applies when integrating with third-party control systems as with DigiLinX.
The RS-232 port wiring in particular is the same.
A full RS-232 protocol guide is available to authorized dealers from the dealer section
of the NetStreams website (
www.netstreams.com ).
System Components

PAN6400 VDC

PANVP500 or PANVP700 Video Ports
