Video distribution
CRM88 is the ideal amplifier
for driving long video cables
in your home. Many vendors
claim their products can
do this, but very few can
accomplish this without
distortion of the video.
The most important amplifier
design factors in driving
long cables are source impedance
matching, output connector
quality, amplifier bandwidth,
and amplifier current drive
and slew rate. Our amplifier
uses the best components
for all these, resulting
in the best signal distribution
you can get. If you are
interested in video distribution,
please see our information
page for more tips on
optimizing your network
for zero distortion.
ZeroKey technology
The CRM88 switch can be
controlled manually by toggle
button, by remote control,
or RS-232. The remote control
interface uses ZeroKey infrared
code cloning to map any
remote control key to each
of the inputs & outputs.
ZeroKey technology is compatible
with virtually all remote
controls, and does not interfere
with the normal operation
of the remote. The best
way to use this is to program
the CRM88 with the same
keys you normally push to
switch your AV receiver
or TV. The CRM88 will switch
at the same time as your
TV or receiver without the
need for complicated macros
or pushing extra buttons!
ZeroKey programming is
stored in flash memory,
and you will not need to
reprogram even if you lose
power. If you buy a new
remote in the future, don't
worry, the CRM88 can be
reprogrammed as much as
you like.
