| Now includes Zektor's ZM1 IR remote control!4-in, 1-out multifunction Y/pr/pb, RGBhv, and six-channel (5.1) switch with IR and serial control.
The CVS4 is a 4 input, 1 output component video switch with inputs for Pr / Pb / Y video and L & R analog audio channels, and an extra channel for composite video. Both Toslink and SPDIF digital audio channels are supported as well. The CVS4 uses High Quality Gold Clad, Silver-Palladium Relays to switch all analog signals, for noise free, distortion free operations.
The CVS4 has been design to work flawlessly with the ReQuest Video player. It allows switching both the component and composite video, and digital and analog audio.
The CVS4 includes a built in RS-232 port and a hardwired IR jack for easy and reliable installations. Optional rack ears are available for easy rack mounting.
Four Inputs and One Component Video Output
Supports all HDTV modes 480i through 1080p, including
720p and 1080i. Each input consists of six analog channels
(Pr/Pb/Y/Left/Right/CV) and one channel of Digital Audio. Analog
audio channels are routed using the same high-bandwidth relay
switches as the video channels, and can be used to route H
& V components (with proper adapter cables) for an RGBHV
switch, supports all RGBHV PC modes.
Passive Switching of Analog Signals
The CVS4 passively switches its analog signals using high
quality relays designed specifically for switching low level
signals such as those used in the audio and component video
paths. When compared to an active analog switch (using analog
switching ICs), relays are usually a more expensive solution for routing signals.
However relays offer a switching quality like that of physically
swapping cables, without the added noise and distortion
that is inherent in active switches. This also allows the
CVS4 to be used in reverse. The Output can be used as
an input and switched to each of four outputs.
Break Before Make Switching Logic
Unlike our competitors, all of our relay based switches
have always featured a 20 millisecond break
before make switching sequence.
The 20ms delay, when switching between inputs, guarantees that
all relays have fully deactivated before the next input's relays
activate, thereby preventing a momentary short between inputs.
Fully isolated analog grounds
The CVS4 features full isolation of its analog and digital
grounds to eliminate digital noise from being superimposed
on its analog signals, and to help eliminated ground loop problems.
5.1 Multichannel Audio Switch
Since there are six available analog channels, the CVS4 can
easily be used as a four to one 5.1 multichannel audio
switch. The fully passive design, and full isolation of the
digital and analog grounds, makes the CVS4 ideal for switching
analog audio signals between SACD and DVD-Audio players.
High Quality Gold Clad, Silver-Palladium
Relays
All analog signals are switched using high quality relays with gold clad, silver-palladium
(AgPd) contacts. The combination of gold clad on silver-palladium while
expensive, holds the highest rating for long life, when switching
low level signals such as those found in analog audio and video paths. Each
analog channel is routed using a separate relay, thus reducing the possibility
of cross talk between channels, when compared to the less expensive design of
using multi-contact relays and routing multiple signals through
a single relay.
Gold Plated Connections
Gold plated RCA connectors are used throughout the design to
reduce the possibility of contact generated noise caused by
corrosion.
Toslink and SPDIF Digital Audio
Both Toslink (Optical) and SPDIF (Coax) can be routed
through the CVS4. Either input will be accepted and both Toslink
and SPDIF are available as outputs simultaneously. All conversions
between formats are done as needed.
Features Zektor's Exclusive IIR Learning
The CVS4 features Zektor's exclusive IIR (Intelligent Infra-Red) learning. Zektor's
IIR learning allows the HDS4 to work with virtually any remote control! Control
the CVS4 with an obsolete TV remote. The CVS4 also works great with any universal
remote control.
Front Panel Control of Switching
Front panel buttons are available to directly select each input. You are not
forced to sequence through all inputs when switching from input two back to
input one!
Full Featured Remote Control Interface w/IR Jack
A full featured IR command set is available using any
remote control, commands are: Power Toggle, Direct Channel
Selection of each input, and for better integration with
universal remotes with macro capabilities, the discrete commands
Power On, and Power Off are also available. The rear panel
IR jack allows for reliable, hardwired IR solutions. The IR
jack can conveniently receive both modulated and un--modulated
IR signals
Built in RS-232
For use with ReQuest Video or compatibility with Crestron or AMX type setups,
an RS-232 module is built into the CVS4.
K.I.S.S.� (Keep It Simple Serial�)
Zektor's K.I.S.S.� is one of the
easiest serial port protocols to interface to, on the market.
Yet the extensive bi-directional command set allows total control
over the CVS4. Easily operated in either a Master / Slave
mode, or a fully Asynchronous mode. You can disable the front
panel buttons from affecting the CVS4, and yet still read button
presses over the serial port. You can even read IR signals from
any remote, independent of the CVS4, allowing you to use the
CVS4's IR capabilities to control you own projects!
Auto Dimming Display
The LED indicator lights can be set to Bright, Dim, Auto Dim,
or Off. The Auto Dim mode will fade the LEDs from the Bright
setting to the Dim setting about 4 seconds after
a channel is selected.
Adjustable Front Panel LED intensities
The intensity levels of the front panel LEDs are fully adjustable,
allowing the CVS4 to be used in a wide range of lighting
conditions. The front panel can even be made to gently
dim its front panels lights to 'off' when the front panel
is not in use.
Rack Mountable Metal Enclosure (1RU)
Enclosed in a heavy gauged, steel chassis, with a beautiful brushed
aluminum front panel, and with fully adjustable front panel
LED intensities, the CVS4 easily integrates into your existing
home theater environment.
Optional International Power Supply
Available with an international power supply for 90-264VAC, 47-63Hz operation.
The international supply comes with adapters for UK, EURO, AUS and USA use. |
