8x8 'X-Y' control panels
The ISIS 8x8 X-Y control panels can either be used as local or remote control panels. When used as a remote control panel the optional cradle assembly, model CR100, with built in 115V/230V input power supply and Ethernet interface should be ordered.
The simple to install coax based 10Base2 Ethernet network can support up to 32 panels and a total cable length of 300 feet. For longer distances and/or more panels, standard Ethernet LAN 'Hub' units can be used to expand the panel network to 256 panels.
Operation as an X-Y panel is very straightforward. First the desired destination (output) is selected. Once the output is selected the source (input) buttons will tally and they are used to select the desired input to that destination. Outputs that have been 'locked' are indicated by the output lamp flashing when a locked output is selected.
The CP818A and CP818B panels, as illustrated, use a common set of switches for both audio and video (AFV) This panel is preferred when AFV is the normal mode of operation.
The CP818C panel has 8 separate buttons for selection of Video and 8 buttons dedicated to selection of Audio. This panel is appropriate when 'breakaway' audio mode is frequently used.
The CP818 Series of panels can be used with any INNOVATION Series 8x8 router. When used as a single bus panel, a DIP switch in the remote panel cradle selects the output that is controlled by that single bus panel.
