that won't work. </font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">The audio from the DVD

<tt><font face="Courier New">There's probably a

Wait until I get the switch
eh? :)</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">The question remains
though: Do you think it
will be possible to</font></tt>

that a scart trigger on

<tt><font face="Courier New">switch, say output 1, to
display whatever is on

<tt><font face="Courier New">Outside my dumb ideas,
this could be useful to
auto switch your TV to</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">the CCTV input when
someone is detected at the

<tt><font face="Courier New">CCTV will generate the

<tt><font face="Courier New">I have several 'zones'
already Linn'ed up, so I
wanted to stick to a</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">single means of
switching sources rather than
having something for A</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">sources and something
else for V sources.</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">Of course if the RCU's
would interface to your
switch, then I just ditch</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">the intersekt and away
we go :-)</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">Or if I could turn back
time, I would save myself
a fortune by not</font></tt>

& just wait for your

</font></tt>

</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">> If you didnt want

</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">> I personally think
you are over-complicating
things as the </font></tt>

<tt><font face="Courier New">> Yes, that's exactly

</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">> I don't need

<tt><font face="Courier New">> If I select DVD to
play in the bedroom, then
the intersekt </font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">> will output the DVD
audio to the bedroom
zone. If I then </font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">> decide to listen to
the radio in the bedroom,
it will output </font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">> the radio to the
bedroom zone. Either way,
the input on your </font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">> switch should be
routed to what it knows as
the bedroom zone. </font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">> Each output zone on
the intersekt would be
connected to a </font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">> different input on
the KAT5 switch. It is the
intersekt that </font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">> will differentiate
between the various audio
sources. The </font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">> switch just needs
to know that input 1 always
goes to output </font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">> 1, input 2 to
output 2 etc....</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">>
</font></tt>
