System Design
Proper system design ensures that all parts of a whole-house audio/video
system work together to provide the desired results. Each part of the system
(source A/V components, keypads, speakers, and the multi-room controller, for example) must be carefully chosen and a location specified for each
device. Wiring needs must be carefully planned for. Building codes and
contruction methodology must be factored in to provide a safe and properly
functioning system. Before beginning any installation, it is advisable to consult a set of building plans and a list of equipment and map out each part
of the system. Make sure to carefully locate speakers, keypads, touchpads,
touchpanels, and wire runs so as to avoid interference with other household
devices such as plumbing, doors, windows, and high-current electrical wires.
System Design is typically comprised of Prewire, Rough-In, and Trim-Out.
The following sections will describe each phase of the installation process
as they pertain to installing ELAN VIA!Valets and the PVIA1 Precision Panel
specifically.

WIRE RUNS
Runs of Cat-5 for IR and Data transmission and RG-6 or RG-59 for Video
signals are required between the Valet PVIA1 and the central equipment location. If the VIA!Valet is powered locally only a single run of Cat- 5 and a single
run of coax will be necessary.
If the VIA!Valet is to be powered by a power supply located at the “headend” location of a multi-room system, refer to the table on the following page
for minimum wiring requirements.

Applications
Local System or Home Theater Control Using
VIA!Valet
The VIA!Valet comes with a pre-terminated interface cable assembly that
combines Cat-5 and RG-59 coaxial cable for the Transmission of Power, IR
and Video signals between the PVIA1 Valet and the VIA!Valet Touch Panel.
The VIA!Valet can be used for any stand-alone (non-ELAN) system application or as a Home Theater controller. The Figure 2-4 below shows a basic
application using one VIA!Valet100EM, a PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate and an ELAN
IR Emitter to control an A/V Receiver.

Stand-Alone/Home Theater
The VIA!Valet is ideal for use as a stand-alone system controller or Home
Theater controller. For control of a Home Theater system, the VIA!Valet100EM
and PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate are combined with a method for IR distribution
such as ELAN’s IRD4 Amplified Connection Block. Signals originate at the
VIA!Valet100EM, pass through the PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate, then travel to the
connection block where they are routed to each component.
NOTE: This application does not allow for independent control of identical
sources. An ELAN multi-room controller or SS1 System Controller should
be used in that scenario.

Composite Video Connections
Stand-Alone/Home Theater
There are many ways to integrate a VIA!Valet in a Stand-alone/Home Theater
application. Many Home Theater receivers, Satellite, and Cable boxes have
secondary composite video monitor ports located on them that can be use
to connect to the PVIA1 Valet. Also, matrix video switchers like ELAN’s Z•880
or V883 can be used to distribute video to the VIA!Valet, Projectors and TV
monitors throughout the home.
The PVIA1 Valet features a pass-through coaxial video connector to conveniently allow for video access from a video source such as an Z•880, S12, S8
or V883 to a connected VIA! Valet.
Connect the coaxial connector from the bundled cable assembly to the front
panel coaxial connector of the PVIA1 Valet. RG-6 or RG-59 coaxial cable
from the central equipment location is connected to the rear panel coaxial
connector of the PVIA1 Valet. Use VIA!TOOLS setup software to assign
video switching as required by the system’s architecture. See VIA!TOOLS for
detailed programming instructions.

IR Out - Front
The IR OUT port is a 3.5mm mono mini jack connection typically used to
control a device that is part of the main IR system in a stand-alone application. IR is routed to an emitter as shown in Figure 3-10 or an IR distribution
block connected to the IR OUT and sent to the source components with IR
emitters as shown in Figure 3-11.

The ELAN IRD4 is the perfect companion to the PVIA1 Valet in a stand-alone
application. The IRD4 is a single input, four output Amplified IR Connection
Block designed to provide a convenient way of interconnecting IR control
of source components to the PVIA1Valet. This unit includes a robust, widebandwidth amplifier with reverse voltage protection so that it has the ability
to drive both Mini-Emitters and High-Output Emitters reliably.
Connect IR OUT and GND from the rear panel of the PVIA1Valet to CAT-5
cabling and terminate it to the IRD4 IR IN and GND. Connect IR Emitters
from their Output ports and place on the source component IR Receive windows. Power up the IRD4 and with VIA!Tools programming downloaded to
the VIA!Valet the sources are ready to be controlled.

POWER SENSE
In a stand-alone application the power status of an A/V receiver or cable box
may need to be monitored when using the VIA!Valet. System ON/Off status
feedback will be displayed in the feedback window at the top of the screen
of the Touch Panel. Connect an ELAN PWR9 9 VDC Power Supply into the 9
VDC connector on the PVIA1 Valet and plug it into the switched outlet of the
source device. The VIA! Touch Panel can then sense whether source voltage
is present or not, and display feedback and execute macros based on the
source power state. Power On and Power Off macros can be programmed
for all Home Theater components using VIA!TOOLS. See VIA!TOOLS for
detailed programming instructions.
