Installation

The Lattis Matrix Switcher is quite flexible, in that it can integrate with a variety of A/V devices and control systems, and may be
configured a variety of ways. Installation of the Lattis System is described below:
1. System Power: Place the Lattis Matrix Switcher near your audio/video components. Turn off the Lattis front panel
switch and plug the AC power adapter's cable into the rear panel Power connector on the Lattis Matrix Switcher. Plug
the adapter into a standard electrical outlet — select an outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch.
2. Optional IR Input from IR Repeater Systems (modulated IR input source): Connect to the rear-panel IR-In jack, or affix
an IR emitter over the front-panel sensor.
3. Optional IR Input from IR-learning Keypads (modulated IR input source): Connect to the rear-panel IR-In jack, or affix
an IR emitter over the front-panel sensor.
4. Optional RS-232 Computer or Control System Connection: Connect your computer or control system, using a properly
wired RS-232 cable, to the 9-pin Control connector on the rear panel of Lattis Matrix Switcher System. For more
information on the VC-232 interface, refer to a later manual section.
5. Connection of A/V Source components: Plug your Audio/Video source components into the Lattis Source inputs using
appropriate cabling.
Note: Lattis Video Switchers (LE-800AV and LE-1600V) use a dual-port connector for source inputs. The video input
signal connects to the black phono jack on the Source side – the yellow phono jack above this connector provides a 75-
ohm buffered output for looping the source to other destinations (such as a second switcher).
6. Connection of A/V Zone amplifiers: Connect the Lattis Zone audio outputs to power amplifiers appropriate for each
zone. For video-capable switchers, connect the video outputs to video monitors, or, for longer runs, to composite buffer
amplifiers or video modulators. Run the speaker wiring and video cables to each zone. NOTE: Do not use level-
sensing audio amp powering options — low volumes may turn the amp off.
Note: Lattis Video Switchers (LE-800AV and LE-1600V) use a dual-port connector zone outputs. Each Zone output
has two independent 75-ohm buffered output ports, allowing connection of two video cables to different destinations.
7. Power-up the system: Turn on the Lattis Matrix Switcher using the front-panel switch — a string of front-panel lights
indicates that the Switcher is running.
10. Install Two (2) "AA" batteries in the RC-16 remote control(s) (alkaline preferred).
