Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Panorama™ PAN6400 Video Distribution & Control system. Offering a new breed of video products, the NetStreams® Panorama system combines video distribution and switching with infrared (IR) control of displays and sources, instead of requiring a dedicated control system. The NetStreams Panorama system’s value and performance is unmatched in today’s market: delivering phenomenal video clarity and source content of up to 1080p (high definition resolution).

With Panorama’s “cable length compensation” (CLC) technology you can distribute high definition video sources up to 1,000 feet per room from the headend. Now your HDTV, Blu-ray, or HD-DVD experience can be shared around the residential or commercial project with no discernible video quality degradation. Panorama was designed for installers and customers who demand great quality, an affordable price, and ease of installation.

The Panorama PAN6400 Video Distribution Center (VDC) distributes four sources to six rooms (expandable to 18). The system selects any available video source and distributes it to any of the rooms selected. Users can simultaneously access and control any of the four different sources from separate rooms. Compensating automatic gain adjustments at the inputs ensure that the sources are distributed at equal levels.

™

The PAN6400 VDC offers plug and play integration with NetStreams Musica MU5066 Multi-Room Audio system and also works with the NetStreams DigiLinX™

IP-Based Multi-Room Audio and Control system to provide the video solution for your project. With the PAN6400 VDC, you can distribute component, S-Video, or composite video signals and/or coaxial digital S/PDIF digital audio signals to as many as six rooms per PAN6400 VDC.

Up to three PAN6400 VDCs can be cascaded to achieve a total of 18 zones of high definition video and audio when integrated with Musica. When used with DigiLinX or a third-party system, there is no limit to the number of Panorama VDCs that can be used in a system.

PAN6400 VDCs can also be mirrored to double the number of connections from three (with one VDC) to six (with two VDCs), allowing the distribution of component video and S/PDIF digital audio simultaneously. In this case Panorama distributes both video and audio and Musica or DigiLinX controls the PAN6400 VDCs.

Configuration

You can install the PAN6400 VDC alone or in conjunction with Musica, DigiLinX, or other control systems. In any of these configurations, you can also install multiple PAN6400 VDCs to add additional zones or signals.

Standalone

You can use the Panorama as a standalone video distribution and control system. Panorama can switch video and control both video sources and displays without a

third-party controller. The PAN6400 VDC can connect to video sources with component, composite, or S-Video cables.

Chapter

System Overview

The displays are controlled either locally with the display’s remote control or from the headend with learned IR commands stored in the PAN6400 VDC.

The sources are controlled by learned IR stored in the VDC. Panorama also offers IR pass-through with the PANVP700 to control the source using the source’s remote control.

Two or more PAN6400 VDCs can be connected in a cascade to increase the number of rooms where the video and audio sources are distributed. Each VDC adds six more zones, while the sources available for distribution remains at four. For an example of a cascaded configuration, see Figure 3-6 on page 3-9

Integrated with the Musica

When Panorama is integrated with the NetStreams Musica 5000 Series Multi-Room Audio & Control system, the two systems are virtually plug and play. Use the Musica MU5066ADC to distribute analog audio and the PAN6400 VDC to distribute balanced, line-level video.

The PANVP500 (VP500) Video Port connects as many as six displays to each PAN6400 VDC. The AP450 or AP500 Audio Ports provide fixed or variable audio output and/or local source input. The Musica keypads control all of the audio and video functions as well as IR pass-through functions via the IR receiver window on the front of the keypad.

Page 12

NetStreams Panorama System Installation Guide

When integrated with Musica, you can mirror multiple PAN6400 VDCs and have them function as a single VDC to increase the number of connections. When mirroring two PAN6400 VDCs, you increase the connections per source from three to six.

As with standalone configurations, you can cascade a configuration with PAN6400 VDC and Musica to add additional zones.

You can include a Musica MUR2EM Network Interface in the integrated installation. This allows the system to be controlled from a web browser.

Integrated with DigiLinX or Third-Party Control Systems

The Panorama video distribution system also integrates with the NetStreams DigiLinX IP-Based Multi-Room Audio and Control system or other control systems through RS-232 connections.

The PAN6400 VDC distributes balanced, line-level video and controls displays. DigiLinX controls the PAN6400 VDC switching functions through a ControLinX™ driver and distributes the video sources’ audio over the DigiLinX network using a MediaLinX™ for each source. Each MediaLinX also serves as the controller for each video source.

PAN6400 VDC can also distribute S/PDIF digital audio to audio-video (A/V) receivers in tandem with MediaLinX distributing the audio over network when using S-Video or composite video connections. Alternatively, you can mirror multiple PAN6400 VDCs and have them function as a single VDC to increase the number of connections. This allows you to distribute component video from one PAN6400 VDC and coaxial digital (S/PDIF) audio from the other PAN6400 VDC.

You can cascade a configuration with PAN6400 VDC and DigiLinX integrated to add additional zones. This requires a ControLinX for each Panorama.

The Panorama can send and receive RS-232 commands allowing third-party controllers to use the Panorama as a video switcher. The same general wiring procedure applies when integrating with third-party control systems as with DigiLinX. The RS-232 port wiring in particular is the same.

A full RS-232 protocol guide is available to authorized dealers from the dealer section of the NetStreams website (www.netstreams.com).

Configuring Standalone Installations

NetStreams Panorama system is much more than a typical video distribution system. It is designed to offer full IR control of sources and displays without the need for a third-party control system or IR infrastructure products and can distribute S/PDIF audio. Panorama’s capability to function as a standalone video distribution and control system provides unprecedented value over other products in the market that simply do video switching.

The standalone configuration is useful for projects where a universal remote control manages the video distribution system. The standalone configuration also greatly simplifies control for third-party systems by combining video switching, source control, and display control in one device. The model of Panorama Video Ports used determines how the system is controlled. For example, in a project where the system is controlled from each room with a universal remote control, use the VP700 Video Ports to offer two-way IR (with an IR Receiver as well as an Emitter for the display). On the other hand, if the project is a bar or restaurant where the rack location is the only control point, the VP500 Video Ports work just fine.

There are many standalone configurations including the following:

 component video

 S-Video with coaxial digital (S/PDIF) audio

 composite video with coaxial digital (S/PDIF) audio

 cascading: adding displays by adding one or more additional PAN6400 VDC.

Configuring a Single PAN6400 VDC

The PAN6400 VDC can connect to video sources with component, composite, or S-Video cables. It is important to note that Panorama does not transcode video signals. If you connect your first source using component cables, you must connect the display with component cables. The remaining three sources and the remaining displays must also use component cables.

Connecting a cable to a PAN6400 VDC source input port defines that port for all sources. For example, if source 1 has a composite video cable in the green (Y) port and a digital audio cable in the red (Pr) port, the connections must remain consistent for

source inputs 2-4. (Do not put any video cable in the red port, or anything but a composite cable in the green port.)

Because S-Video and composite video signals do not use all input ports, you can mix them between sources. The S-Video adapter (provided) uses the blue (Pb) and red (Pr) ports leaving the green (Y) port available for composite video distribution for a different source.

However, you cannot connect digital audio through the PAN6400 VDC in this configuration. In addition, the display would need to have available ports for simultaneous S-Video and composite connections to accommodate the sources with differing video connections. You can use the remote control for the display to toggle between the two sources by selecting the source input.

Figure 3-1 shows an example of how you might connect a video switch in a standalone configuration.

Configuring Standalone Installations

If you want to distribute the video to more than six displays, you can connect two or more PAN6400 VDCs in cascade mode as discussed in Adding Additional Displays

(Cascade Mode) on page 3-7.

Since Panorama is being configured as a standalone system, the VP700s are highly recommended. The IR Receiver (included with the VP700) permits control and switching of the sources using the Panorama remote or a universal remote control. The IR Emitters allow Panorama to control the display and source. Figure 3-2 shows a complete wiring diagram for this configuration. For more detail on the ports on the rear panel of the Panorama, see PAN6400 VDC on page 2-3.

NOTE

To make the connections for composite video and digital audio, complete the following steps:

1. Ensure power is off to all devices.

2. Connect the composite video cable from the video out port of the source to the

PAN6400 VDC IN port (red) for that source.

The composite video cable can be plugged into the Pb, Pr, or Y IN ports. However, once a port has been used for composite, all sources must use that port. For example, if source 1 plugs the composite cable into the red (Pr) port, the three remaining sources must use the Pr port for composite cables.

3. Connect the coaxial digital (S/PDIF) cable from the source to the PAN6400 VDC

IN port (green) for that source.

4. Connect an IR Emitter to the PAN6400 VDC IR OUTPUT port for the source and

place the emitter end over the IR window on the front of the source.

5. Connect the CAT5 cable from the display output on the PAN6400 VDC to the VIM

port on the VP700.

6. Connect the VP700 to the display using a composite cable.

You can also route the video from the VP700 to an A/V Receiver and then to the display.

7. Connect the Y/Composite port of the VP700 to the digital audio in of the A/V

Receiver.

8. Connect the IR Receiver to the IR IN port on the VP700 and place the IR Receiver

where it can receive a signal from the remote. See Panorama Video Ports:

PANVP500 and PANVP700 on page 2-5 for information on effective IR Receiver

placement.

9. Connect an IR Emitter to the IR Out port of the VP700 and place the emitter end

over the IR window on the display.

10. Connect 5.1 or higher channel speakers from the output ports of the A/V Receiver.

11. Turn power on to all devices.

Adding Additional Displays (Cascade Mode)

Only the number of displays can be increased by cascading, not the number of sources.

Cascading two or more PAN6400 VDCs allows you to distribute video and audio signal to more than six displays. You can display four sources to hundreds of displays. This can be useful in commercial environments, such as sports bars or airports, where audio is routed separately and the video needs to be displayed on many displays.

As many as 100 PAN6400 VDCs can be cascaded in this manner, for a total of 600 displays.

Integrating with NetStreams Musica 5000 Series

Panorama PAN6400 VDC and Musica MU5066ADC integrate to provide video and analog audio. You can connect as many as three PAN6400 VDCs to as many as three Musica MU5066ADCs for 18-zone coverage.

When integrated with Musica, the PAN6400 VDC can distribute component, S-Video, or composite video signals. When integrated, the Musica MU5066ADC system handles analog audio distribution.

Integrating a Single Musica MU5066ADC and PAN6400 VDC

Connecting a cable to a PAN6400 VDC source input port defines that port for all sources. For example, if Source 1 has a composite video cable in the green (Y) port and a digital audio cable in the red (Pr) port, the connections must remain consistent for source inputs 2-4. (Do not put any video cable in the red port, or anything but a composite cable in the green port.)

When integrating Panorama and Musica, the Musica MU5066KP routes the IR signal. Therefore, NetStreams recommends the use of VP500 Video Ports when integrating Panorama and Musica.

4. Connect an IR Emitter to the Musica MU5066ADC IR OUTPUT port and place

the emitter end over the IR window on the front of the source.

5. Connect a null modem cable from the RS-232C port of the Musica MU5066ADC

to the RS-232 IO1 port of the PAN6400 VDC.

6. Connect a CAT5 cable from the appropriate DISPLAY OUTPUT port on the

PAN6400 VDC to the VIM port of the VP500 you are using to connect to a display.

7. Connect the video (composite in this example) from the VP500 output to the

display.

8. Connect an IR Emitter to the IR Out port of the VP500 and place the emitter end

over the IR window on the display.

9. Connect a CAT5 cable from the appropriate room CLASS 2 WIRING port on the

Musica MU5066ADC to the ADC port of the Musica Keypad.

Use the same output number on both the PAN6400 VDC and the Musica MU5066ADC ports. Otherwise the system will not synchronize the display and the audio connected to the VP500 and the Musica Keypad.

10. Connect a 16/4 cable with 2-pin Phoenix connectors from the PWR port on the

Musica Keypad to the appropriate display ROOM POWER port on the Musica MU5066ADC.

A 16/4 and CAT5 Siamese (combo) cable is easier to run and less likely to break. You can use a 16/2 cable since two wires on the 16/4 cable are clipped and not used. However, using the 16/4 cable allows for easy future expansion or upgrades.

11. Connect speakers using 4-pin Phoenix connectors from the rear of the Musica

MU5066KP Keypad to the left and right speakers.

12. Turn power on to all devices.

Adding Additional Input Ports (Mirrored Mode)

Mirroring two PAN6400 VDCs provides a total of six inputs per source over which you can distribute signals. This allows you to distribute synchronized component video signals and digital audio. The Musica MU5066ADC sends RS-232 commands to a PAN6400 VDC to which it is connected and additional PAN6400 VDCs mirror the actions of the first PAN6400 VDC.

Although you can mirror the PAN6400 VDC with any supported video signal, most installations use mirroring to distribute component video with coaxial digital audio (S/PDIF) while Musica distributes analog audio. The digital audio signal distributed from the PAN6400 VDC can be used with a digital surround sound home theater.

Figure 4-2 and the associated steps show how to wire a Musica MU5066ADC and two PAN6400 VDCs. The Musica MU5066KP provides IR capability, so two VP500s connect the video and audio. The IR input port of a VP700 is disabled if included in an

NetStreams Panorama System Installation Guide

Adding Additional Displays (Cascade Mode)

One Musica and one NetStreams Panorama system together provide for the distribution of four audio and video sources to as many as six zones. For the distribution of four sources to as many as 18 zones, integrate up to three Panorama PAN6400 VDC and Musica MU5066ADC pairs.

Connect each additional PAN6400 VDC and Musica MU5066ADC with null modem RS-232 cables from the IO2 to IO1 ports as discussed above.

A null modem RS-232 cable connects two PAN6400 VDCs to provide a total of 12 displays (zones) (NS-MUXK-12) and the null modem RS-232 cable included in the Musica 18-Zone Expansion Kit (NS-MUXK-18) connects three PAN6400 VDCs to provide 18 displays. The RS-232 cable connects into the PAN6400 VDC I01 port on all VDCs.

The analog audio expansion cables (also provided in the Musica expansion kit) connect to all Musica MU5066ADCs. Figure 4-3 focuses on integrating Panorama and Musica, including IR connections. The figure does not show the analog digital cables connecting the Musica MU5066ADC. See Application Note 030017 on the NetStreams website for a figure that includes those cables as well as complete information on expanding Musica to 18 displays and keypads.

Integrating Panorama with DigiLinX

The NetStreams Panorama system can easily be integrated with the NetStreams DigiLinX IP-Based Multi-Room Audio and Control system or other third-party

control systems. In this scenario, the Panorama system distributes high-definition video over its balanced, line-level connection and provides IR control of each display.

Panorama learns and stores the IR necessary for display control and source switching. DigiLinX provides display and source control over the network, as well as audio

distribution.

If integrating with a third-party control system, the wiring follows the same configuration as the DigiLinX system, in particular when connecting RS-232 cables.

A DigiLinX system includes ControLinX, MediaLinX, PowerLinX™, SwitchLinX™, and SpeakerLinX components to distribute and control video and audio. ControLinX connects to the RS-232 port labeled IO2 on the PAN6400 VDC to provide control of the video source switching and video displays. Connect the audio outputs from each video source to a MediaLinX for distribution of the audio over TCP/IP and control of the video source. You can install either one MediaLinX MLA101 device per source or an MLA4000 per every four sources. Any network product or device with a web browser and Adobe Flash® can control either MediaLinX device. ControLinX and MediaLinX are connected to SwitchLinX, which manages the network.

Integrating a Single DigiLinX System and PAN6400 VDC

The PAN6400 VDC can connect to video sources with component, S-Video, or The PAN6400 VDC can connect to video sources with component, composite, or S-Video cables. It is important to note that Panorama does not transcode video signals. If you connect your first source using component cables, you must connect the display with component cables. The remaining three sources and the remaining displays must also use component cables.

NOTE

(www.netstreams.com). To integrate a NetStreams Panorama system with a DigiLinX system, complete the following steps:

Select the Panorama driver for the ControLinX when configuring the DigiLinX system using the DigiLinX Dealer Setup Program 1.5 or higher. You cannot configure the ControLinX device to control the Panorama video switching and displays until the connections are made. The DigiLinX devices must be running firmware version 1.25 or higher.

1. Ensure power is off to all devices.

2. Connect the component cable from the component video out ports of the source to

the PAN6400 VDC IN ports for that source.

3. Connect the coaxial digital (S/PDIF) or analog audio cable from each video source

to each MediaLinX.

4. Connect an IR Emitter to the PAN6400 VDC IR OUTPUT port for that source and

place the emitter end over the IR window on the front of the source.

For example, if the video source is connected to the PAN6400 VDC source IN port S2, then plug the IR Emitter into IR OUTPUT S2.

5. Connect an IR extension cable (3.5 mm to 3.5 mm, shipped with Panorama) from

the PAN6400 VDC IR INPUT port for that source (in the example above, this would be IR INPUT S2) to the MediaLinX IR/RS-232 port.

6. Connect the 3.5 mm to RS-232 cable (included with ControLinX) from the

RS-232C port of the ControLinX to a null modem cable and connect it to the RS-232 IO2 port on the rear panel of the PAN6400 VDC.

This allows a DigiLinX system to control Panorama functions.

7. Connect the CAT5 cable from the room output on the PAN6400 VDC to the VIM

port on the VP700.

This procedure assumes you are using VP700s for IR pass-through functionality.

8. Connect the VP700 to the display using a component cable.

9. Connect the IR Receiver to the IR IN port on the VP700 and place the IR Receiver

where it can receive a signal from the remote. See Panorama Video Ports:

PANVP500 and PANVP700 on page 2-5 for information on effective IR Receiver

placement.

5-4

10. Connect an IR Emitter to the IR Out port of the VP700 and place the emitter end

over the IR window on the display.

11. Connect CAT5 Ethernet cables from each MediaLinX, TouchLinX, and

SpeakerLinX and from the ControLinX to the SwitchLinX-managed Ethernet

switch.

This provides the DigiLinX devices with network connectivity.

12. Continue connecting the rest of the DigiLinX system as per the DigiLinX Design &

Installation Guide.

13. Turn power on to all devices.

Adding Additional Input Ports (Mirrored Mode)

Mirroring two PAN6400 VDCs provides a total of six inputs per source over which you can distribute signals. This allows you to distribute synchronized component video signals and digital audio. One ControLinX controls both PAN6400 VDCs by sending

Integrating Panorama with DigiLinX

RS-232 commands to the PAN6400 VDC it is connected to and the additional PAN6400 VDCs mirror the actions of the first PAN6400 VDC.

Although you can mirror the PAN6400 VDC with any supported video signal, most installations use mirroring to distribute component video with coaxial digital audio (S/PDIF) while the DigiLinX system distributes analog audio. Although the DigiLinX system can read digital audio, it only outputs analog audio. When the PAN6400 VDC distributes digital audio, the system can support a digital surround sound home theater.

Figure 5-3 and the associated steps show how to wire a DigiLinX system and two PAN6400 VDCs. Use a VP700 to connect the display and provide IR capability and a VP500 to connect the digital audio. For more detail on the ports on the rear panel of the Panorama, see PAN6400 VDC on page 2-3.

Using IR

The NetStreams Panorama system provides a straightforward method to learn and store IR codes for the displays and sources in your environment. All you need is the PAN6400 VDC, the Panorama remote, and remotes for each source and display.

Depending on your installation, the Panorama IR abilities allow you to control sources and displays with the original source and display remotes, the Panorama remote, the Musica keypad and remote, and DigiLinX-compatible devices including TouchLinX and web browsers.

If you want to control the sources and displays with IR, your installation must use appropriate IR Receivers and Emitters.

IR Overview

To control a source, use a VP700 Panorama Video Port and an attached IR receiver or use the built-in IR receiver in each Musica keypad (when integrated with Musica). The source must be connected to the PAN6400 VDC with an IR Emitter.

To control a display while in the room with the display, you can use the display remote control that ships with that display or a universal remote control that has been programmed to control that display. You can also attach an IR Emitter to the display and connect it to either a VP500 or VP700 and use a Panorama remote to execute display commands stored in the PAN6400 VDC. This is useful when the display is enclosed and there is no line of sight for IR control. Is important to note that if you want to control the display from the Panorama, the appropriate IR command must be stored in the Panorama and assigned to a button, then that button will toggle the power for the TV or other function. The Panorama remote can be used to teach another remote if desired.

Before learning IR, you should understand the remote control’s role in IR learning, how the PAN6400 VDC stores and accesses IR codes, and the information the PAN6400 VDC provides to assist in learning IR.

NetStreams Panorama System Installation Guide

Remotes

A remote can control a device in the NetStreams Panorama system using Panorama’s learned IR or pass-through capabilities.

Learned IR allows the Panorama remote to control sources and displays while the pass-through ability allows the source remote to control the source through the NetStreams Panorama system. If you prefer to use your own universal remote, it can use either pass-through or learned IR abilities, depending on how you have configured the universal remote.

Panorama remote

The PAN6400 VDC learns and stores IR commands using the source and display remotes. The Panorama remote tells the PAN6400 VDC which stored IR commands to execute. You only need to store the codes once for each source and display. If you add additional Panorama remotes in the future, they will have the same control as the original Panorama remote. Figure 6-1 identifies the buttons on the Panorama remote.

When you push a button on the remote, the PAN6400 VDC executes the IR commands stored in two memory locations, one for the active source and one for the active display. Memory locations are discussed further in PAN6400 VDC IR Storage and

Access.

Source/Display Remote or Universal Remote

Source remotes use IR pass-through and there must be an IR Receiver in the room with the displays. The VP700 and Musica keypad both have IR Receivers.

Display remotes communicate directly or use the IR pass-through function. When the remote is in the room with the display, it communicates directly with the display. At the headend, the remote uses IR pass-through to send IR through the PAN6400 VDC built-in IR receiver.

If you learn source and display IR codes directly into a universal remote, it can control devices directly or through IR pass-through. If you learn source and display IR codes from the Panorama remote, the universal remote uses IR learning and accesses the IR commands stored in the PAN6400 VDC. The universal remote can also use a mix of the two.

You can download Panorama IR HEX codes for universal remotes from the dealer section of the NetStreams website (www.netstreams.com). These codes have been tested with Pronto remotes and may not work with other brands. The codes include discrete IR codes that execute a certain command, such as source 1 play. You can use these discrete codes to build macros on the universal remote. The NetStreams Panorama PAN6400 Multi-Room Video System RS-232 Integration Guide (available on the dealer section of the NetStreams website (www.netstreams.com

)) provides a list

of IR codes.

PAN6400 VDC IR Storage and Access

The PAN6400 VDC has 40 source memory locations and 60 display memory locations, 10 for each source and display. Each of these memory locations is stored separately. Any button on a source or display original remote that executes a single command can be learned into a memory location. However, a memory location cannot store a macro.

Each of the Panorama remote’s 10 definable buttons accesses two memory locations: one for the selected source and one for the selected display. If there is an IR command in both memory locations, both commands are executed. If only one memory location has a stored IR command, it is the only one executed.

Because each definable button executes both a display and source IR command, carefully consider how you learn IR. It could be an advantage, for example, if you learn the power command for each display and source into button 0. Then whichever source and display are selected turn off and on together. Note that power buttons are usually a toggle, so if one device is already on, you could turn off the display when you turn on the source.

If you learn a display power command and a source play command into the same button, you could turn off a display at the same time you start a DVD. The two commands that are executed depend on which source and display are selected.

To avoid any unwanted overlap, learn source and display IR commands into separate buttons.

Examples

A residential installation uses a PAN6400 VDC with a VP700 Video Port to provide IR pass-through from the display end to the source. A universal remote learns all the IR codes for each source and display. NetStreams Panorama system passes the IR information to the appropriate source from a Video Port or to the appropriate display from the headend.

A pub provides various sporting events with a PAN6400 VDC behind the bar and many displays connected with VP500 Video Ports. Basic display IR codes such as power on/off and aspect ratio are learned. Two buttons on the Panorama remote access these display IR commands, leaving eight definable buttons for source commands. The bartender can control both sources and displays from the Panorama remote without any overlap issues.

A restaurant provides sports and news over displays located around the dining area. The displays are connected with VP500 Video Ports and the PAN6400 VDC is located in the locked manager’s office. Only source IR codes are learned. The manager uses a Panorama remote in the office to control the sources and the waitstaff manually turn off the displays when the restaurant closes.

PAN6400 VDC LED Meaning

While in the PAN6400 VDC is in IR learning mode, the LEDs on the front of the unit provide information to assist you in monitoring the learning process.

Using IR

The front of the VDC has 11 LEDs in three groups: Power (1 LED), Displays (6 LEDs), and Sources (4 LEDs) (see Figure 2-1 on page 2-3).

During normal operations, these LEDs indicate power status, selected display, and selected source, as the labels on the PAN6400 VDC indicate. During IR learning mode, these LEDs change their functions to assist in learning and the labels on the PAN6400 VDC do not reflect LED meaning during learning mode.

In IR learning mode, the POWER LED becomes a status indicator for what is being learned. The LED is green when displays are being learned and red when sources are being learned. The POWER LED flashes when IR learning is complete.

The six LEDs in the DISPLAY group represent which specific source or display is currently being learned. For example, if the Power LED is red and the second Display LED is lit, then the PAN6400 VDC is set to learn IR codes for Source 2.

The four LEDs in the SOURCE group represent which step the PAN6400 VDC is on during learning mode. As PAN6400 VDC and source or display remote button presses successfully register with the PAN6400 VDC during learning mode, SOURCE LEDs come on and stay on until all steps in the learning process are completed.

NetStreams Panorama System Installation Guide

NOTE

Before learning the IR codes, you must configure one or more PAN6400 VDCs and you need the Panorama remote as well as the remotes for all of your sources and displays. Each remote should have fresh batteries.

Always stand within 18 inches of the receiver when storing IR codes. Stay away from fluorescent light or ambient sunlight as both affect data transmission.

After you press the Panorama remote button, you have 30 seconds to complete the steps involving the source or display remote. IR learning mode times out after 30 seconds of inactivity.

To store IR in the NetStreams Panorama system, complete the following steps:

1. Enter IR learning mode: point the Panorama remote at the PAN6400 VDC and

press and hold the MENU button until all three sets of LEDs on the front of the VDC flash.

2. Select the source or display to be learned.

a. To learn IR codes for displays, press the up arrow button on the Panorama

remote until the Power LED changes to green.

To learn IR codes for sources, press the down arrow button on the Panorama until the Power LED changes to red.

b. Select the specific source or display you want to learn IR codes for by pressing

the left arrow and right arrow buttons on the Panorama remote.

The Display LED on the front of the PAN6400 VDC indicates the specific source or display you are working with. The first Source LED continues blinking.

3. Press the button on the Panorama remote you want to learn.

The second Source LED light comes on, indicating this step has successfully completed.

4. Point the source or display remote at the VDC and press the button on the source or

display remote you want to learn once.

The exact sequence starts with all LEDs on, eliminates one LED at a time from right to left until only S1 is on, then adds one LED at a time from left to right.

The third Source LED light comes on, indicating this step has successfully completed.

5. Press the same source or display button again to confirm the command.

The four Source LEDs blink in sequence, indicating this step has been successfully completed. The PAN6400 VDC has learned the source or remote IR code and the Panorama remote button now provides the function.

If the button presses do not match, the source and display LEDs rapidly blink five times. Exit IR programming mode and start the process for that button again.

6. Exit IR programming mode: Point the Panorama remote at the PAN6400 VDC and

press the MENU button.

All three sets of LEDs on the front of the VDC flash.

Test the new IR programming by pointing the Panorama remote at the VDC and pressing the button with the new source or display function. The NetStreams Panorama system should replicate the action of the button from the source or display remote.

At the headend, some PAN6400 VDC Power LEDs flash when they receive an IR signal, depending on the firmware version. At the displays, the IR Receiver attached to the VP700 Video Port flashes when it receives an IR signal.

Standalone Installations

Most standalone installations benefit more from learning source IR codes than display IR codes. The following example may help further illustrate the simplicity of programming IR for the PAN6400 VDC.

Example

You have a standalone configuration and want to program in the play and pause commands for the DVD player, and the on and off commands for the display.

After you hook up the NetStreams Panorama system following the instructions in

Configuring a Single PAN6400 VDC

display remotes and go to the headend. Point the Panorama remote at the VDC and hold the MENU button on the Panorama remote until the LEDs on the PAN6400 VDC flash.

To program the DVD, which is connected as Source 1, press the up arrow on the Panorama remote until the Power button turns red. Verify the first LED under the Displays group is lit, indicating you are programming Source 1.

Press the Pause button (button #1) on the Panorama remote. The second LED under the Sources group lights, indicating success.

Using IR

on page 3-1, get the Panorama, DVD, and

Switch to the OEM remote supplied with the DVD player, point it at the VDC, and press the pause button. When the third LED under the Sources group comes on, press the pause button again. After the fourth LED comes on and all four LEDs in the Source group are lit, the IR code has been successfully learned and the function assigned to the Panorama remote.

Repeat the procedure for the play button. To program the on and off commands for the display, press the up arrow on the Panorama remote until the Power button turns green, indicating you are programming a display. Repeat the rest of the procedure, pressing the appropriate power buttons.

Testing IR Integration

Learn an IR code according to the procedure outlined above.

To test IR pass-through abilities, point the source remote at the VP700 IR Emitter and press a button. The IR code should pass through the Video Port, the PAN6400 VDC, and arrive at the source which performs the action selected on the remote.

To test the IR commands stored in the PAN6400 VDC, point the Panorama remote at the VP700 and press a button that learned a source command into the PAN6400 VDC. The source should perform the action selected on the remote.

Cascade Mode

In a standalone installation in cascade mode, you learn and store the display IR codes in the PAN6400 VDC connected to the display through a Video Port. Therefore, each PAN6400 VDC stores IR codes for some of the displays.

Learn and store the source IR codes in the PAN6400 VDC the IR Emitters are connected to.

NetStreams Panorama System Installation Guide

NOTE

Integrating with Musica

When you integrate with Musica, you gain additional control capabilities: you can use the IR window on the Musica keypad to pass IR codes to the Panorama, use the buttons on the keypad to change the sources on the PAN6400 VDC, and also to control the displays (if you learn the display IR codes). NetStreams recommends the use of PANVP500 Video Ports when integrating Panorama with Musica.

Storing IR codes

When integrating Panorama with Musica (See Chapter 4, Integrating with NetStreams

Musica 5000 Series ), the IR Emitters run from video sources to the Musica

MU5066ADC, so you store the video source IR codes in the Musica. The display IR Emitters connect to the VP500, and you store display IR codes in the PAN6400 VDC.

Use the Musica keypad to learn and store the video source commands into the Musica MU5066ADC and the Panorama remote to learn and store the display commands into the PAN6400 VDC. You can access any display IR command stored in the PAN6400 VDC from the Musica keypad.

The IR inputs on the VP700 are disabled when Panorama and Musica are integrated. In this configuration, IR commands pass through the Musica keypad IR window.

Testing IR Integration

The Panorama and Musica remotes offer the same functionality, including Musica’s two layers of button presses for IR commands stored on the Musica MU5066ADC. For IR commands stored on the PAN6400 VDC, only the top button press layer on the Musica remote or keypad accesses commands.

Learning at least the most basic display commands—such as power and aspect ratio— increases the convenience of using the keypad, while leaving most remote buttons available to access source IR commands without overlap.

At the display end, the Musica or Panorama remote sends IR commands to the IR Receiver on the Musica keypad. The keypad instructs the Musica MU5066ADC to execute the IR command, if any, in the memory location associated with that button. The Musica MU5066ADC executes the IR commands and also sends the commands to the PAN6400 VDC through the RS-232 cable.

At the headend, the Musica or Panorama remote sends IR commands to the PAN6400 VDC which in turn sends the IR commands to the display.

Program an IR code according to the procedure outlined above.

To test IR pass-through abilities, point the source remote at the IR window on the Musica keypad and press a button. The IR code should pass through the Musica keypad, ADC, arrive at the source which performs the action selected on the remote.

To test the IR commands learned into the PAN6400 VDC, point the Musica or Panorama remote at a Musica keypad and press a button that learned a source command into the PAN6400 VDC. The source should perform the action you selected on the remote.

NOTE

Learning IR in Mirrored Mode

In an integrated and mirrored installation, store the IR codes in the PAN6400 VDC connecting the video. This PAN6400 VDC controls the additional PAN6400 VDC. You do not need to store any IR codes in the PAN6400 VDC that is connecting the coaxial digital (S/PDIF) audio.

Learning IR in Cascade Mode

In an integrated and cascaded installation, you only need to store IR codes in one Musica MU5066ADC, but you must learn IR codes into each PAN6400 VDC.

All the sources (as many as four) are connected to one Musica MU5066ADC, which is where you learn and store all source IR commands.

Up to six displays connect to a PAN6400 VDC (through a Video Port), and you only store IR commands for the displays connected to it.

Integrating with DigiLinX

Using IR

The IR pass-through ability only works with sources connected to the PAN6400 VDC. Other sources (audio or control) that are connected to the DigiLinX and not directly connected to the PAN6400 VDC will not have pass-through ability.

You can also integrate the NetStreams Panorama system with DigiLinX, NetStreams’ IP-Based Multi-Room Audio and Control system (See Chapter 5, Integrating

Panorama with DigiLinX on page 5-1).

When integrating Panorama and DigiLinX, DigiLinX stores all the relevant IR codes for audio and video sources. The PAN6400 VDC stores the IR codes for displays.

Each source connects to either a MediaLinX MLA101 or an MLA4000 which converts the audio signal into a TCP/IP stream. Learn and store the IR codes for each source into the MediaLinX it is connected to.

You can install VP700s to provide IR pass-through ability, allowing you to send IR commands from the display to the headend. However, since the PAN6400 VDC does not control sources when integrated with DigiLinX, you must connect the MediaLinX to the PAN6400 VDC and then to the source.

By using VP700s at the display end, IR commands from source or universal remotes are transported back to the PAN6400 VDC. When connected with this method, both IR commands originating from the MediaLinX (commands that were learned and stored into the MediaLinX for the source), and IR commands originating from a VP700 IR Receiver are routed through the PAN6400 VDC to the source.

Example

A client wants six rooms to access four video sources and the rest of the house to access the video sources and two audio sources. The six sources include:

 HD-DVD player

 regular DVD player

 cable box

 Tivo™

 two CD players.

Page 56

NetStreams Panorama System Installation Guide

Every source connects the audio to a MediaLinX to digitize the audio for the DigiLinX system. Each of the video sources also connect to the appropriate SOURCE INPUT ports on the PAN6400 VDC with component video cables.

In the six rooms with access to video sources, a Panorama VP700 connects to the PAN6400 VDC.

Learn the IR for the HD-DVD player into the attached MediaLinX, which is Source 1. Connect the 3.5 mm male to 3.5 mm male IR extension cable from the MediaLinX to the IR INPUT for the Source 1 on the back of the VDC, and the IR Emitter from IR OUTPUT of Source 1 on the VDC to the IR eye on the HD-DVD player. Now, IR commands coming from either the MediaLinX, or routed from the VP700 in the remote room are routed to the HD-DVD player.

Testing IR Integration

Program an IR code according to the procedure outlined above.

To test the IR commands learned into the MediaLinX, press a button on a TouchLinX that learned a source command into the PAN6400 VDC. The source should perform the action selected.

Learning IR in Mirrored Mode

In an integrated and cascaded installation, you do not need to store any IR codes in the PAN6400 VDC that is connecting the coaxial digital (S/PDIF) audio.

Learning IR in Cascade Mode

When using mirrored mode with an integrated PAN6400 VDC and DigiLinX installation, each PAN6400 VDC stores display IR codes. Up to six displays connect to a PAN6400 VDC (through a Video Port), and you only store IR commands for the displays connected to it. This means each PAN6400 VDC in the installation stores some of the IR codes.

Troubleshooting

The following solutions may help you resolve common problems.

The remote control doesn’t control the display/source.

First, verify the remote control batteries are charged.

Next, verify the IR Receiver by the display is placed in a location the signal can reach. It is best if the IR Receiver is placed vertically; however, it can be placed horizontally. Verify the IR Emitter is placed firmly over the IR window on the display. Verify the IR Receiver on the PAN6400 VDC is not covered or otherwise obstructed. Stay away from fluorescent light or direct sunlight whenever possible.

Lastly, verify IR is learned correctly. Your learned source IR and display IR fire simultaneously. If the two IR commands are not compatible, it may cause errors in use. Learn the IR command again to make sure it is stored correctly.

I need to clear IR commands.

You can erase a stored IR command by learning the desired IR command over the existing command.

If you do not want any valid IR command stored in that memory location, you can use a remote from a non audio-visual component that is not connected to the NetStreams system to store an IR command in that location. For example, you can store the power IR command from a ceiling fan remote. PAN6400 VDC will not recognize or execute the command.

The picture quality on my display isn’t perfect.

Verify there are no cable distance or construction problems. First, check that the CLC chip inserted in the Video Port matches the length of cable from the source to that Video Port.

Second, check that the cables are placed in the same input ports on both the PAN6400 VDC and the Video Port. Especially if distributing component video, the color of the

cable connectors must match the color of the ports. You can also verify the connectors are in the appropriate ports by the PbPrY color coding.

Lastly, check that the cables are terminated using the required 568a standard.

My picture is the wrong size for my display.

Check the source for proper output settings. The PAN6400 VDC acts as a conduit for the signal and does not control any signal settings.

PAN6400 VDC is connected to a third-party control device through RS-232 but the device isn’t recognized.

If you are sure the device is programmed properly and all connections are properly made and the device does not work, disconnect power to the PAN6400 VDC and reconnect it while the RS-232 cable is connected. Try to operate the third-party control device again. If still no operation, contact technical support.

However, disconnecting the power supply reboots the system and causes the PAN6400 VDC to check the RS-232 for a current connection and should resolve the problem.

The audio does not match the display.

When integrating PAN6400 VDC with another system, verify the output ports match the source number. If the source is plugged into S2, for example, the display, speakers, and IR emitters must use the appropriate S2 output ports.

There is no picture on my monitor at the headend.

Verify that the display you are on has a source connected and powered on.

Also verify that the video connections to the monitor are the same type as your sources. If the source is connected with component video cables, the monitor must also be connected with component cables. If the sources connect with different cable types, the monitor at the headend will only work with some of the sources.
