INTRODUCTION

The Net1Card is a network television systems control SmartCard that is designed to work with Philips SmartCard televisions in a balanced RF distribution system. The Net1Card allows an individual with a unit set in the Transmitting mode to control all televisions, up to 8 zones of televisions, or a single television, all set in the Receive mode. The controls include turning the sets on, setting the volume, and tuning to a specific channel for live or prerecorded messages or programs. Any Net1Card can be set up to transmit or receive.

The Net1Card allows the individual with the Transmitter unit the option to lock out the Receiver units so that the power, volume, or channels cannot be changed until they are restored by the Transmitter unit. All of this is done in a matter of seconds by using an optional T374AH IR remote control device. (See page 5.) Other features include the ability to change channels for different messages, turn off all receiver televisions from a single location, send different messages or programs to different groups or individual sets. The Net1Card is easy to install, set up, and operate. The Net1Card also has the ability to poll an individual television to ensure correct systems operation.

The Net1Card also has composite video input, an S- Video input, two audio inputs, an RF input, a speaker jack and a cloning port for easy connectivity to a variety of media devices.

FEATURES

•Audio/Video Jacks for direct connections with VCRs (or other video accessories) for quality TV picture and sound playback.

•Audio/Video Inputs.

•Audio/S-Video Inputs.

•Ability to broadcast to an individual TV, to a group of TVs, or to all the TVs in the series.

•Ability to poll individual TVs.

•Clone port for limited applications.
