Overview The RAVE1 RNET A/V Encoder enables the use of a remote source with a Russound RNET® or other multiroom audio-video system. It connects to the source equipment and sends audio and video signals to the multiroom system over a single CAT-5 cable. It also provides either RNET or infrared control of the source equipment. Housed in a compact surface-mount metal box, the RAVE1 provides connectors for RNET Link, IR emitter, stereo audio, and composite video. A special RJ-45 jack connects through the CAT-5 cable to either an RAVD1 RNET A/V Decoder or an RNET A/V-enabled multiroom controller at the system end. The RAVE1 comes with a 12 VDC power supply and patch cables for connecting to the source equipment. Setup for RNET Control Note: For RNET control of the remote source, both the source equipment and the system controller must be RNET capable. If the RNET controller does not have an RNET A/V jack, you will need to use an RAVD1 Decoder at the controller to receive signals from the Encoder. Using the supplied RJ-45 patch cable, connect from an RNET Link jack on the source equipment to the RNET Link jack on the Encoder. Use the supplied RCA patch cable to connect from the source equipment's audio and video outputs to the Encoder's inputs. Crimp an RJ-45 connector on the system end of the CAT-5 cable, following the T568A standard as shown.
