ELAN’s newest Component Video Controller, the
V85, not only meets the rigid standards of 1080p
hi-def video, but adds the convenience of being
able to distribute the bold, brilliant pictures of hi-
def video throughout the house over Cat-5 cable.
The V85 provides an 8 x 8 switching matrix,
allowing up to eight component video sources to
be viewed independently or simultaneously on
eight different high definition TVs or monitors.
RS-232 and IR-controllable, the V85 integrates
seamlessly into any whole-house system, allowing
one-touch access to component video sources from
any touch panel, keypad or remote control.The
“active” IR port even supplies power to ELAN IR
Sensors.
Using Cat-5e cable, the V85 can distribute
component video signals up to 500 feet; and with
its active differential output driver design and high
definition receiver / equalizer chip-set, whatever
you pipe into the V85 is exactly what you’ll see at
the other end. Eight independent RJ-45 jacks make
for easy Cat-5 connection at the back of the unit.
The V85 also has eight sets of Y/P
B
/P
R
component
video outputs that use standard RG-6 coaxial cable
to send component video signals to TVs or
monitors up to 300 feet away.An additional eight
sets of buffered component video outputs make it
easy to loop sources to additional V85s. Up to four
V85s can be linked together to create an expanded
8 x 32 component video switching matrix.
The V85 can be paired up with the new V8
Composite Video Controller (pg.35), which can be
used to route SPDIF Digital Audio.The combination
of the two units allows you to distribute HD
Component Video and SPDIF Digital Audio to 8
zones with just 2 cable runs (CAT-5e and Coax).
Once again ELAN’s award-winning innovation and
experience in multi-room A/V distribution has
enabled us to manufacture a component video
switcher that distributes the highest quality video –
from more sources – to more TVs / monitors – over
longer distances – than similar components costing
two, three or even four times as much.Experience
the unique power of the V85.
