RNET A/V Encoder and Decoder

RAVE1, RAVD1

The RAVE1 Encoder and RAVD1 Decoder provide a convenient way to use a remote source component with a Russound RNET® or other multiroom audiovideo system. Using RNET A/V technology, they connect with a single CAT-5 cable to convey audio, video, and control signals up to 300 feet (90 m) between the source and the central system controller.

The RAVE1 Encoder connects directly to the source at the remote location, providing RCA jacks for stereo audio and composite video. For source control, the Encoder provides an RNET Link port for Russound RNET sources and an IR emitter jack for infraredcontrollable sources. An RNET A/V port provides the CAT-5 connection with the Decoder.

The RAVD1 Decoder connects to a source input on the multiroom system controller through RCA jacks for video and audio. It provides RNET Link ports for connecting to an RNET system and an IR jack for connecting to an IR emitter output on the controller. An RNET A/V port connects via CAT-5 to the Encoder.

Both devices include 12 VDC power supplies. Housed in compact metal boxes, they easily mount on any ﬂ at surface.
