INSTALLATION
Fig. 4 illustrates a typical applica-
tion where an RT8 is used to route
IR control signals to four TV moni-
tors in a media wall.
1. In this system, the four TV
receivers are the same brand
- one large screen and three
small. All are individually con-
trolled from a Xantech
SmartPad and a 480-30 IR
Receiver through a 789-44
Connecting Block and the RT8
IR router.
2. In addition to controlling the
TV receivers and the IR router,
this system permits control of
source components as well,
through the 789-44 Connect-
ing Block. If you need to drive
more emitters, use the 791-
44 Amplified Connecting Block
instead of the 789-44. Note
that the 789-44 is powered
from the RT8.
3. MS1 Mouse Emitter Shield
Covers (optionally available
for use with Mouse Emitters)
must be used on each TV IR
sensor window as shown in
Fig. 4. This is necessary to
prevent the TVs from respond-
ing directly to the IR signals
from the handheld remote
control. See the 282M and
MS1 instructions for informa-
tion on applying the Shield
Covers.
4. When connecting the emitters to the RT8, it is necessary to cut off the mini plugs, strip the leads back
about 1/4" (6mm) and connect them to the screw terminals.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to connect the white striped side of the
emitter leads to the "O" terminal (+) on the RT8 outputs as shown.
5. Since only one RT8 is used in this system, the factory preset Code
Group 58 can be used. The RC68+ Programmer is set to the same
number.
6. The RC68+ commands 1, 2, 3, & 4 (refer to Fig. 2) will establish an
IR route to each TV individually. The GP-ON (Group On) command
will route to all 4 TV's simultaneously.
