Designated Rooms can access Record functions in the Main system.
The Record functions of the Main System VCRs or Tapedecks can ONLY be accessed by
the RCU’s allocated that facility at system installation.
At present, this facility can present you with a few potential ‘funnies’......... read on....
R8S8 has 1 Room expansion card.
RER16 has 2 Room expansion cards.
Each Room expansion card has 8 Room RJ45 sockets and 2 sets of RECORD output
phono sockets.
In the Installation software (V2.00 onwards) , when you install a RECORD device, a VCR
or a Tape Deck, one of the Room outputs, Room 1 or Room 2, will be allocated to that
RECORD output. Therefore you will LOSE one Room for each RECORD device.
This could present a potential problem that you must be aware of.......
In a Phantom Intersekt system, with 2 RECORD devices, there wont be a problem as long
as the first ‘Room’ is Room 3.
In a Parallel Intersekt system, i.e. a Kairn AND a Main System RCU, Room 1 is allocated
by default. Therefor, at present, with this configuration, an Intersekt R8S8 system will
only allow 1 RECORD device, which MUST be allocated to Room 2.
In an RER16 situation the problem would only appear if the customer wished to access
the RECORD functions of 4 devices.
For the next Installation Software revision, when you install a RECORD device you will
be given the option of accessing the RECORD functions of VCRs and Tapedecks. If you
decide NOT to access the RECORD functions then the record outputs will NOT use up a
Room output.
You can allocate a RECORD device to a Room Interface that does NOT exist - eh ?
In an 8x8 you have only 1 Room interface card so if you allocate the RECORD
device to Room Interface 2 Room 1 then you will retain access to Room Interface 1
Room 1.
We do try.
