Remote Control Switchers

GENERAL INFORMATION

• The RS41AV is a low noise, wide bandwidth, unity gain, infrared remote controlled switcher for line level

stereo audio and video baseband signals.

• It selects audio and video signals from any one of four sources and sends them to one output with no signal

loss.

• It allows additional source selections for the inputs of A/V receivers, VCR's, TV monitors, etc.

• A hand-held programmer, model RC68+ (available separately), is the source of the four IR input switching

commands for the RS41AV (see Fig.4).  Normally the installer would "teach" these commands into a
Xantech Learning Remote, Key Pad or other learning device for eventual use by the customer.

• The space saving "flat pack" design allows great flexibility in mounting and positioning.
