V8 Composite Video Router Integration
The ELAN
®
V8 is a Composite Video Router that provides the ability to view up to 8
different video sources in 8 separate areas (or 16 areas using an additional V8).
Note: When installed in an AH66T system, the V8 is limited to six video inputs and six
video outputs. In a dual AH66T system using two V8s you have six additional video
outputs.
In a dual AH66T system, one V8 is dedicated to the first chassis and the second V8 is
dedicated to the second AH66T.
Video Input # 1 of the V8 is “linked” to Audio Input # 1 of the AH66T; Video Input # 2 of the
V8 is “linked” to Audio Input # 2 of the AH66T and so forth.
Video Output # 1 of V8 # 1 is dedicated to Zone # 1 of the AH66T; Video Output # 2 of V8 #
1 is dedicated to Zone # 2 of the AH66T and so forth.
Video Output # 1 of V8 # 2 is dedicated to Zone # 7 of the AH66T; Video Output # 2 of V8 #
2 is dedicated to Zone # 8 of the AH66T and so forth.
Install the V8 as described in the V8 manual.
Connect the A-Net OUT of the MAIN AH66T chassis to the A-Net IN of the second AH66T.
If a C2 is being installed, connect the A-Net OUT of the second AH66T to the VIANet IN of
the C2. Connect the VIANet OUT of the C2 to the VIANet IN of the V8. If two V8s are being
installed, connect the VIANet out of the first V8 to the VIANet IN of the second V8.
Be sure to set the V8 unit ID correctly. See the V8 installation manual for details.
The diagram on the next page shows a dual AH66T system with a C2 Communication
Controller and dual V8s.
For clarity, only the A-Net connections from the AH66Ts to the C2, the VIANet connections
from the C2 to the V8s and the video loop connections for sources one through four are
shown.
