V883 ELAN INSTALLATION MANUAL HOME SYSTEMS 2. Control Connections & Settings Control Connections - IR There are two IR pathways into the V883 - the 3.5mm IR IN port on the rear and the IR Receiver on the front. The IR OUT port passes out any IR signal that is sent to the V883’s rear IR IN port or the front IR Receiver. IR IN Port Most ELAN multi-room applications will utilize the rear IR IN port for IR control. Use a 3.
ELAN HOME V883 SYSTEMS INSTALLATION MANUAL IR OUT Port Any IR signal that is sent into the V883 through the IR IN port or IR Receiver is passed out of the IR OUT port. Use the IR OUT port to link multiple V883s or as a convenient way to send signals to additional IR controlled devices, or to IR distribution products such as ELAN’s IRD4 Amplified IR Connection Block, as shown below. Connecting Multiple V883s V883 #2 V883 #1 IR IN IR IN 3.
V883 ELAN INSTALLATION MANUAL HOME SYSTEMS Control Connections - RS-232 Use the SERIAL PORTS when a computer or third-party RS-232 controller will be used to control the V883. When using ELAN devices like the VIA!2-SS1, VIA!SC-4, or VIA! Touch Panels, it is best to use VIA!NET to control the V883.
ELAN HOME V883 SYSTEMS INSTALLATION MANUAL Control Connections - VIA!NET Use the VIA!NET ports when controlling the V883 with ELAN VIA! Touch Panels, VIA!SC-4 Serial Controller, VIA!2-SS1 System Station and other VIA!NET devices. Use of this method ensures highly reliable control signal integrity and removes the possibility of IR signal “collision” whereby simultaneous IR commands cancel each other. The VIA!NET ports on the V883 can be daisy-chained between chassis and other VIA!NET devices.
V883 ELAN INSTALLATION MANUAL HOME SYSTEMS DIP Switch Settings - UNIT ID Consult the chart below to determine the correct UNIT ID DIP switch settings. These settings determine which output commands a particular unit responds to. V883s set to UNIT ID 1 will respond to commands specifying Outputs 1-8, UNIT ID 2 responds to commands specifying Outputs 9-16, etc.

Use the 19.2k (Down) position for ELAN RS-232 applications and third party controllers that operate at 19.2k. 1 2 3 1 2 3 9.6K BAUD 19.
V883 ELAN INSTALLATION MANUAL HOME SYSTEMS 3. Video Connections Wiring Use high-quality component video cables to make connections between sources and the V883’s inputs. Sources will typically be located near the V883 at the head-end of the system. Component video outputs will typically be sent via RG-6 coaxial cable from the head-end to televisions and/or monitors located throughout the house. Use F-to-RCA adaptors to connect high quality component video cables to each TV or monitor, as shown below.
ELAN HOME V883 SYSTEMS INSTALLATION MANUAL CVWP Component Video Wall Plate Kit ELAN’s CVWP Component Video Wall Plate Kit makes an ideal companion accessory to the V883 when long video wiring runs are necessary. The CVWP converts component video cable runs to Cat-5 and allows them to travel up to 500 feet with no image quality degradation. Run Cat-5 cable between the head-end location (where the V883 is located) and the destination location (a TV or monitor).
V883 ELAN INSTALLATION MANUAL HOME SYSTEMS 4. Applications The following pages contain examples of various system types and configurations. These examples can be modified, combined, or adapted to meet specific requirements of individual systems. Stand-Alone Systems Basic Stand-Alone System - Component Video The diagram below shows a basic stand-alone system that utilizes the V883 to switch component video sources to televisions located throughout the home.
ELAN HOME V883 SYSTEMS INSTALLATION MANUAL Stand-Alone System - Component & Composite Video The V883 is capable of switching a combination of composite and component video signals in systems that use both types of video sources. The drawing below shows a more advanced stand-alone system switching component video sources and composite video sources simultaneously to a combination of TVs that use each type of video.
V883 ELAN INSTALLATION MANUAL HOME SYSTEMS Multi-Chassis Stand-Alone System This application shows four V883s linked together to form an 8 x 32 composite video matrix. Note the use of RCA ‘Y’ cables to split each source’s signal to each input of the V883’s. Set the 75 OHM INPUT TERM jumpers as shown for each unit in order to retain signal integrity. Verify that the UNIT ID DIP switches are correctly set for each unit to ensure proper switching.
ELAN HOME V883 SYSTEMS INSTALLATION MANUAL ELAN Multi-Room Controller-Based Systems There are many possible applications when using the V883 in ELAN Multi-Room Controller-based systems. This section shows basic concepts that can be combined or arranged according to the needs of the exact system being installed. V883/System6 When utilizing a System6 Integrated Multi-Room Controller (S6), the V883 can be an economical and versatile video switching solution.
V883 ELAN INSTALLATION MANUAL HOME SYSTEMS V883/System12 This application shows a System12 Multi-Room A/V Controller (S12) performing audio distribution functions as well as composite video switching. A V883 is used to distribute component video. Although the S12 has component video capabilities, the use of the V883 frees up inputs and outputs so that more composite video sources may be used and more composite video outputs can be sent to more VIA!s.
ELAN HOME V883 SYSTEMS INSTALLATION MANUAL ELAN Multi-Room Controller Multi-Chassis System Multiple V883s used in ELAN Multi-Room Controller-based systems are configured identically to those used in stand-alone systems. This application shows four V883s linked together to form an 8 x 32 composite video matrix. Note the use of RCA ‘Y’ cables to split each source’s signal to each input of the V883’s. Set the 75 OHM INPUT TERM jumpers as shown for each unit in order to retain signal integrity.
V883 ELAN INSTALLATION MANUAL HOME SYSTEMS 5. Programming Use VIA!®TOOLS setup software to assign commands to keypads and VIA! Touch Panels. When programming ELAN user interfaces, VIA!TOOLS will automatically configure the video switching commands. Please consult VIA!TOOLS software and the Help file for specific programming steps and full IR, VIA!NET, and RS-232 code sets.
