V3TM Technology
For the more common everyday transient surges and spikes that are most commonly caused by household appliances turning on and off, Theatre Director uses an advanced type of MOV (metal oxide varistor). This new type of MOV provides greater capacity to absorb surges and spikes, as well as better energy dissipation. The result is a more efficient, longer lasting surge protector.
Clear Connect Power Conditioning
The electrical current running through your home is filled with impurities referred to as electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which are caused by household appliances and electronics. If left alone, these impurities can show up in your home theater system in the form of picture or sound distortion and degradation. Our Clear Connect power conditioning technology purifies the electrical current before it reaches your sensitive components. This filtering process reduces EMI and RFI noise by up to 85 decibels (dB), among the highest level of noise filtration available today, keeping your equipment safe, picture sharp and sound crisp.
Always-on AC Outlets
Each model of Theatre Director is equipped with two AC outlets that are always on – regardless of the position of the main power switch. These outlets are useful for components that require a constant source of power to maintain programmed settings, such as a VCR, DVR, TiVoTM, etc. While these outlets are not controlled by the main power switch, they are still protected by
Switched AC Outlets
The remaining AC outlets (number varies by model) are powered on and off with the main power switch on the front panel. All components connected to these outlets can be powered on and off at the same time by simply pressing the main power switch on the front panel.
Coaxial Cable Protection
Depending on the model, Theatre Director includes either 2, 3 or 4 sets (see feature chart page 4) of
RJ45 Networking Protection
Should your home theater system incorporate incoming RJ45 networking cables, such as a media server or HDTV monitor with broadband web access, Theatre Director’s RJ45 protection will keep the connected equipment safe from surges that can potentially enter through the incoming RJ45 network cable (not available on model SPP4200).
