2.4 VIDEO CONNECTIONS

Connect up to sixteen video SOURCES (cameras, VCRs, DVD players, satel-

lite receivers, RF demodulators, etc) to the video input connectors. For NTSC/
PAL units a second BNC input connector is provided for looping through to
another device or termination.

It is not necessary to terminate unused inputs. Y/C inputs are terminated

automatically.

Connect up to sixteen ZONE destination devices (TV monitors, VCRs, LCD

projectors, RF modulators, etc) to the NTSC/PAL or Y/C video output connectors.
Be sure that all destination devices are terminated in 75 ohms. It is not necessary
to terminate unused outputs.

Do not connect a SOURCE of video to any of the video OUTPUT connectors.

2.5 AUDIO CONNECTIONS

Connect up to sixteen balanced or unbalanced audio SOURCES (CD players,

tape players, VCRs, microphones, RF demodulators, etc) to the left and right
channel input connectors. For balanced audio units, the common is at the center
and the + and – are as shown on the panel. Inputs are high impedance (15K).
Note: an unbalanced source may be connected to a balanced input by connect-
ing the signal lead of the audio source to the + input and connecting the shield to
both the center and – inputs.

Connect up to sixteen audio destination ZONE devices (amplifiers, VCRs,

tape/CD recorders, RF modulators, etc) to the left and right channel output
connectors.

Do not connect a SOURCE of audio to any of the audio OUTPUT connectors.

AN NTSC/PAL INPUT MUST BE LOOPED THROUGH TO A
TERMINATED DEVICE OR A 75 OHM TERMINATOR MUST BE
CONNECTED AT THE LOOPING CONNECTOR.

3.4.5 HOW TO STORE AND RECALL CROSSPOINT PATERNS

The RSII has 17 stored routing patterns. Sixteen patterns for typical use and

one for power on restore. The power-up pattern is the pattern that is loaded when
the RSII is power cycled. These stored configurations are non-volatile and are
thus maintained during power interruptions.

To STORE the current crosspoint pattern to one of the sixteen pattern storage

areas, send a command in the form Sxx [ENTER], where xx is 01-16. To store the
current crosspoint pattern to the power-up pattern type the command S [ENTER].

To RECALL and load one of the sixteen stored crosspoint patterns send a

command in the form Rxx [ENTER], where xx is 01-16. To recall the power-up
pattern, send the command R [ENTER].

3.4.6 CONTROLLING THE SOUND

If the optional VT board is installed, volume, tone, balance (VTB), and input

trim can be controlled via the serial control inputs. All VTB commands are preceded
by a $; xx = an output number from 01-16 (or for trim, an input number from 01-16).
All VTB commands end with an [ENTER].

To control volume send a command of the form: $vxx+, $vxx-, or $vxxyy where

xx is an output number and yy is a number from 00-63; 04 is the default value for a
1:1 ratio of audio in to audio out.

To control bass send a command of the form: $bxx+, $bxx-, or $bxxyy, as

above, but yy ranges from -7 to +7 (cut or boost); 0 is the default (neutral) value.

To control treble send a command of the form: $txx+, $txx-, or $txxyy, but yy

ranges from -7 to +7, as above; 0 is the default (neutral) value.
