Typical Hookup Connections for C2N-DAP8RC
Audio/Video Distribution
The C2N-DAP8RC provides local inputs and outputs for audio and video. Each local
video source input has a built-in video sensor. In addition, the unit provides a contact
closure type input that can be used with the CNXRMCS current sensor to detect the
power status of a high power device such as a television.
Typically, the C2N-DAP8RC receives video and digital audio from the CNX-
PVID8, as well as analog audio from the CNX-BIPAD8, all via CAT5 cabling. In
addition, it receives video, digital audio and analog audio from local sources via
standard RCA connections. The unit’s built-in audio/video matrix switcher
distributes these inputs to local outputs.
NOTE: For additional information on video connections over CAT5, refer to the
latest version of the Crestron CAT5 Wiring Reference Guide (Doc. 6137) which is
available from the Downloads | Product Manuals section of the Crestron website
.
NOTE: The coax connection to audio inputs A and B and the optical connection to
inputs C and D carry the same signal type, S/PDIF, but Toslink cabling is only good
up to a maximum of 10 meters; the coax version can go 10 - 15 meters. This should
be considered in your hookup planning.
The following paragraphs and the audio and video routing diagrams below and on
the next page describe signal distribution arrangements that are typical for the C2N-
DAP8RC. Refer also to the Typical Surround Sound Configuration diagram on page
20.
Distribution of Analog Audio to/from the Head End
Analog audio from distributed source devices is supplied by the CNX-BIPAD8 (or
CNX-PAD8) via CAT5 to the C2N-DAP8RC, then passed through a Crestron
amplifier (CNAMPX-7X200), and delivered as speaker level audio to the local set of
speakers. Analog audio can be directed from the C2N-DAP8RC back to the CNX-
BIPAD8 directly, via CAT5.
