Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Panorama™ PAN6400 Video
Distribution & Control system. Offering a new breed of video products, the
NetStreams® Panorama system combines video distribution and switching with
infrared (IR) control of displays and sources, instead of requiring a dedicated control
system. The NetStreams Panorama system’s value and performance is unmatched in
today’s market: delivering phenomenal video clarity and source content of up to
1080p (high definition resolution).
With Panorama’s “cable length compensation” (CLC) technology you can distribute
high definition video sources up to 1,000 feet per room from the headend. Now your
HDTV, Blu-ray, or HD-DVD experience can be shared around the residential or
commercial project with no discernible video quality degradation. Panorama was
designed for installers and customers who demand great quality, an affordable price,
and ease of installation.
The Panorama PAN6400 Video Distribution Center (VDC) distributes four sources to
six rooms (expandable to 18). The system selects any available video source and
distributes it to any of the rooms selected. Users can simultaneously access and control
any of the four different sources from separate rooms. Compensating automatic gain
adjustments at the inputs ensure that the sources are distributed at equal levels.
The PAN6400 VDC offers plug and play integration with NetStreams Musica
™
MU5066 Multi-Room Audio system and also works with the NetStreams DigiLinX
™
IP-Based Multi-Room Audio and Control system to provide the video solution for
your project. With the PAN6400 VDC, you can distribute component, S-Video, or
composite video signals and/or coaxial digital S/PDIF digital audio signals to as many
as six rooms per PAN6400 VDC.
Up to three PAN6400 VDCs can be cascaded to achieve a total of 18 zones of high
definition video and audio when integrated with Musica. When used with DigiLinX or
a third-party system, there is no limit to the number of Panorama VDCs that can be
used in a system.
PAN6400 VDCs can also be mirrored to double the number of connections from three
(with one VDC) to six (with two VDCs), allowing the distribution of component video
and S/PDIF digital audio simultaneously. In this case Panorama distributes both video
and audio and Musica or DigiLinX controls the PAN6400 VDCs.
