ELAN’s innovative V883 Component Video Controller
is the most versatile, feature-laden component video
switching solution on the market; combining easeof-use, intuitive operation, high-quality, reliability, and
exceptional value into a package ideally suited for multiroom applications. The V883 switches up to eight component video signals to any of eight outputs and can be
expanded to send signals to up to thirty-two outputs by
connecting additional units.
Features
• 8 X 8 Component Video Switcher
• Expandable to 8 X 32
• RS-232 Controllable
• IR Controllable
• VIA!NET Controllable
• Intuitive VIA!TOOLS Programming
Flexible control options include IR from keypads, handheld remotes, or VIA! Touch Panels; RS-232 from VIA!
Touch Panels or third-party controllers; and VIA!NET
from ELAN devices like the VIA!2-SS1. Intuitive

VIA!
TOOLS programming options make quick work out
of configuring video switching commands.
• Front IR Receiver
• Rear IR IN/IR OUT Ports
• Rear RS-232 Input and Output Ports
• 75 Ohm Termination DIP Switches for Sharing Sources
There are two IR pathways into the V883 - the 3.5mm IR IN port on the rear and the
IR Receiver on the front. The IR OUT port passes out any IR signal that is sent to the
V883’s rear IR IN port or the front IR Receiver.
IR IN Port
Most ELAN multi-room applications will utilize the rear IR IN port for IR control. Use
a 3.5mm mono interconnect cable to connect between an IR OUT port (typically an
‘ALL’ port) of an ELAN multi-room controller and the IR IN port of the V883. In this
confi guration, any IR signal sent from any zone of the multi-room system will be sent
to the V883.

IR Receiver
Use the built-in IR Receiver located on the front of the unit when utilizing hand-held
IR remotes, IR distribution systems, or when it is otherwise not possible to connect
to the IR IN port. IR commands can be sent from a distance using a hand-held IR
remote or IR “blaster”. Use a standard IR mini-emitter placed directly over the
V883’s IR receiver when used in conjunction with most IR distribution networks.
Any IR signal that is sent into the V883 through the IR IN port or IR Receiver is passed
out of the IR OUT port. Use the IR OUT port to link multiple V883s or as a convenient
way to send signals to additional IR controlled devices, or to IR distribution products
such as ELAN’s IRD4 Amplified IR Connection Block, as shown below.
Use the SERIAL PORTS when a computer or third-party RS-232 controller will be
used to control the V883. When using ELAN devices like the VIA!2-SS1, VIA!SC-4, or
VIA! Touch Panels, it is best to use VIA!NET to control the V883.

Use the VIA!NET ports when controlling the V883 with ELAN VIA! Touch Panels,
VIA!SC-4 Serial Controller, VIA!2-SS1 System Station and other VIA!NET devices.
Use of this method ensures highly reliable control signal integrity and removes the
possibility of IR signal “collision” whereby simultaneous IR commands cancel each
other. The VIA!NET ports on the V883 can be daisy-chained between chassis and
other VIA!NET devices.
Use an ELAN C4545 RJ-45 to RJ-45 interconnect cable to make all VIA!NET connections. If the cable assembly is to be custom made, refer to the pin-out diagram
below.

Consult the chart below to determine the correct UNIT ID DIP switch settings. These
settings determine which output commands a particular unit responds to. V883s set
to UNIT ID 1 will respond to commands specifying Outputs 1-8, UNIT ID 2 responds
to commands specifying Outputs 9-16, etc.
The Output/Input LED indicators on the front panel display the V883’s Unit ID
designation. A decimal point located in the display window indicates the Unit ID
for each chassis as shown below.
Set the BAUD RATE DIP switch to the 9600 position (Up) when utilizing RS-232 controllers that require this baud rate. Use the 19.2k (Down) position for ELAN RS-232
applications and third party controllers that operate at 19.2k.

75 Ohm Termination DIP Switch Settings
There are eight 75 Ohm Termination DIP Switches used to optimize video signals
when sharing sources with other devices or using multiple V883s. For each input
that is shared using a ‘Y’ cable, place the corresponding DIP switch in the OFF/
DOWN position. When not sharing a source, the DIP switch should remain in the
factory default ON/UP position.
Use high-quality component video cables to make connections between sources and
the V883’s inputs. Sources will typically be located near the V883 at the head-end of
the system. Component video outputs will typically be sent via RG-6 coaxial cable
from the head-end to televisions and/or monitors located throughout the house. Use
F-to-RCA adaptors to connect high quality component video cables to each TV or
monitor, as shown below. Maximum coaxial wire run is 300 feet.
ELAN’s CVWP Component Video Wall Plate Kit makes an ideal companion accessory
to the V883 when long video wiring runs are necessary. The CVWP converts component video cable runs to Cat-5 and allows them to travel up to 500 feet with no image
quality degradation.
Run Cat-5 cable between the head-end location (where the V883 is located) and the
destination location (a TV or monitor). CVWPs can also be used to send signals between remotely located sources and the V883. The drawing below shows examples
of the use of CVWPs to route component video to and from the V883.
The following pages contain examples of various system types and configurations.
These examples can be modified, combined, or adapted to meet specific requirements of individual systems.
Stand-Alone Systems
Basic Stand-Alone System - Component Video
The diagram below shows a basic stand-alone system that utilizes the V883 to switch
component video sources to televisions located throughout the home. A stand-alone
system is one in which an ELAN multi-room preamp controller is not used.
The V883 is capable of switching a combination of composite and component video
signals in systems that use both types of video sources. The drawing below shows
a more advanced stand-alone system switching component video sources and composite video sources simultaneously to a combination of TVs that use each type of
video.
Important Note: When using the V883 as a composite video switcher, please be
aware that the same input type (Y, P
for each input (source) and each output (TV/VIA!). In the example below, the Y
inputs/outputs have been chosen for composite video.
This application shows four V883s linked together to form an 8 x 32 composite video
matrix. Note the use of RCA ‘Y’ cables to split each source’s signal to each input of
the V883’s. Set the 75 OHM INPUT TERM jumpers as shown for each unit in order to
retain signal integrity. Verify that the UNIT ID DIP switches are correctly set for each
unit to ensure proper switching.

There are many possible applications when using the V883 in ELAN Multi-Room
Controller-based systems. This section shows basic concepts that can be combined
or arranged according to the needs of the exact system being installed.
V883/System6
When utilizing a System6 Integrated Multi-Room Controller (S6), the V883 can be an
economical and versatile video switching solution. In this application, the S6 routes
analog audio and performs IR distribution and amplification functions. The V883
routes component video (DVD and HDTV) sources to TVs with component video
inputs and routes composite video (VIA!Quad w/ cameras) to TVs without component
video inputs and to VIA! Touch Panels. The system below shares sources between
the S6 and a local Home Theater. A local A/V receiver in the Home Theater is used
to play digital audio from the shared DVD and HDTV sources.
Important Note: When using the V883 as a composite video switcher, please be
aware that the same input type (Y, PB, or PR) must be chosen and consistently used
for each input (source) and each output (TV/VIA!). In the example below, the Y
inputs/outputs have been chosen for composite video.
This application shows a System12 Multi-Room A/V Controller (S12) performing audio
distribution functions as well as composite video switching. A V883 is used to distribute component video. Although the S12 has component video capabilities, the
use of the V883 frees up inputs and outputs so that more composite video sources
may be used and more composite video outputs can be sent to more VIA!s.
Multiple V883s used in ELAN Multi-Room Controller-based systems are configured
identically to those used in stand-alone systems. This application shows four V883s
linked together to form an 8 x 32 composite video matrix. Note the use of RCA ‘Y’
cables to split each source’s signal to each input of the V883’s. Set the 75 OHM
INPUT TERM jumpers as shown for each unit in order to retain signal integrity.
Verify that the UNIT ID DIP switches are correctly set for each unit to ensure proper
switching.
