Connecting the DVDM-552 to the MP-200
FireBall DVDM Multi-Zone video products are able to feed two independent zones of audio and
video when using an MP-200 remote media player. Since DVD audio and video can not be
streamed over the local network, you must connect the FireBall DVDM to the MP-200 using
video and audio cables. There are several options for connecting the audio and video from the
DVDM to the MP-200 depending on your installation. Several examples are described below.
Direct Wiring
The direct wiring method is the default method of connecting an MP-200 to a DVDM server.
Connect the second zone video and audio outputs from the DVDM to the MP-200 which is
located in another room. This involves pulling video (composite, S-Video, or component) and
analog stereo audio or digital coax into the second room. You can run individual cables or one
of the pre-bundled cables available from any cable distributor.
Alternatively, you can centrally locate the MP-200 clients and run video and audio from the
central equipment location directly to the TV or A/V receiver in the remote zone.
A/V Over CAT5 Wiring
Another method of connecting a remote MP-200 to a DVDM is to use one of the many A/V
over CAT5 systems such as the Audio Authority 9870 Series. This product allows component
video, digital and analog audio, as well as IR to pass through a pair of CAT5 wires to multiple
locations. Although the DVDM-552/MP-200 system delivers two independent zones of A/V,
you can route the second zone output to several rooms at one time to deliver DVD movies to
