Description:

The Model CATS™- 8BY8TAV is a switcher / router for multi-zone, multi-source distribution of CATS™ signals to 8 different zones. Any input can be routed to any and all zones, independent of how the other zones are set.

Programming and control is via serial (RS-232) input / output connection. Zone selection is also possible through remote control from the zones. The IR commands from the remote CATS™ receivers are interpreted by the switcher / router micro-controller. Independent IR LED drivers are available for source equipment control.
