Integrating Panorama with DigiLinX
The NetStreams Panorama system can easily be integrated with the NetStreams
DigiLinX IP-Based Multi-Room Audio and Control system or other third-party
control systems. In this scenario, the Panorama system distributes high-definition
video over its balanced, line-level connection and provides IR control of each display.
Panorama learns and stores the IR necessary for display control and source switching.
DigiLinX provides display and source control over the network, as well as audio
distribution.
If integrating with a third-party control system, the wiring follows the same
configuration as the DigiLinX system, in particular when connecting RS-232 cables.
A DigiLinX system includes ControLinX, MediaLinX, PowerLinX™, SwitchLinX™,
and SpeakerLinX components to distribute and control video and audio. ControLinX
connects to the RS-232 port labeled IO2 on the PAN6400 VDC to provide control of
the video source switching and video displays. Connect the audio outputs from each
video source to a MediaLinX for distribution of the audio over TCP/IP and control of
the video source. You can install either one MediaLinX MLA101 device per source or
an MLA4000 per every four sources. Any network product or device with a web
browser and Adobe Flash® can control either MediaLinX device. ControLinX and
MediaLinX are connected to SwitchLinX, which manages the network.
Integrating a Single DigiLinX System and PAN6400 VDC
The PAN6400 VDC can connect to video sources with component, S-Video, or The
PAN6400 VDC can connect to video sources with component, composite, or S-Video
cables. It is important to note that Panorama does not transcode video signals. If you
connect your first source using component cables, you must connect the display with
component cables. The remaining three sources and the remaining displays must also
use component cables.
Connecting a cable to a PAN6400 VDC source input port defines that port for all
sources. For example, if Source 1 has a composite video cable in the green (Y) port
and a digital audio cable in the red (Pr) port, the connections must remain consistent
for source inputs 2-4. (Do not put any video cable in the red port, or anything but a
composite cable in the green port.)
