General Information

The Model 1176 High Definition Cat 5 Matrix Router is a companion product to the Model 1166* High Defi- nition Component Video AutoSelector™. It provides outputs to six Model 9878 Wallplates. Each Wallplate is able to display any one of the six inputs of the Model 1166 at any time. Up to six Model 1176s may be stacked with its host 1166, providing outputs for 6, 12, 18 or more Wallplates.

The Model 1176 is especially well suited for residential use, and professional venues, such as clubs and restaurants, can benefit by using Model 1176 to send selectable video and/or audio to remote locations. In ap- plications where all displays carry the same content, the Model 1170 High Definition Cat 5 MultiDriver™ Ex- pander drives multiple Wallplates with the same program content as the 1166 main component video output.

Models 1170 and 1176 may be mixed in one system when some Wallplates are to have individually selectable video and some are to have the same display content as the 1166 main output.
