Sheet
75 ohm termination without degrading performance.

1184 • Active Signal Hum Eliminator
Eliminates video and audio hum caused by AC-line noise due to ground loops in coaxial
cabling. Active circuitry isolates the input and output grounds, so the bandwidth is not Focus
limited by inductance, and the 1184 is not lossy as is the case with passive transformers. The Sheet
1184 strips DC from component or RGB video, and clamps black level to 0 volts.

C-1024A • IR Converter for Bose® LifeStyle® and MRI Systems

AVAtrix Audio Interface
™
• Audio breakout adapter interfaces sources
connected to the AVAtrix™ with an audio
distribution system
• Works with any brand of whole house audio
• Provides either source switching or dedicated
output with infrared control pass-through

T he Model 1172 Audio Interface plays well with others—other whole-house audio systems, that is. The 1172 provides an
audio breakout point for Audio Authority® AVAtrix HD Cat 5 Matrix systems to connect to an independent audio distribution
system of any brand that accepts stereo analog audio or digital audio. It can be used in two different ways: Source Mode,
for use with an advanced audio system having its own integrated switching; and Tracking Mode, ideal for an audio system
employing dedicated amplifiers for each room or zone. (See the interface diagram on the back page to learn more about how
these two innovative modes work.)

• Ideal for converting laptop VGA outputs to
HDMI for boardroom/classroom presentations
• Overscan and aspect ratio adjustments
• No third party computer software required

This ultra compact, high performance scaler is ideal for
connecting computer VGA video output signals to HDMI inputs
on video displays. Computer video has fundamental differences from the
video on HDTV displays, so a specialized converter is required that can translate the
color space, match the refresh rate and scale the resolution with correct overscan. Other devices
designed to perform this task require special third party software to be installed on the computer

High Performance Digital Audio Converters Back

• Model 979R converts digital PCM to analog audio
accepting 44.1 to 192KHz sampling rates
• Model 979T converts analog audio to digital PCM
outputting 48KHz or optional 96KHz sampling rates

The Models 979R and 979T provide seamless digital/analog
audio conversion between your system’s audio components.
Housed in a compact, mountable enclosure, the 979R converts
digital audio to stereo analog signals and the 979T converts
stereo analog signals to PCM audio, offering the perfect solution
for interconnecting mismatched audio signals. Used together, the
converters form an effective method of transmitting two audio
channels where only one coaxial cable is available. Their high
bandwidth circuitry and use of premium parts ensure accurate
and realistic sonic reproduction for the highest fidelity in audio
systems.
979R & 979T FEATURES:
• High bandwidth circuitry for accurate, realistic reproduction
• 979R accepts either coaxial or optical PCM inputs
• 979T delivers both coaxial and optical output simultaneously
• Nominal digital audio signal is 0.5 volt at 75 ohms
• Nominal analog level is 1 volt RMS
• Compact-sized, mountable enclosure

Video DC Blockers
Audio/Video sources such as cable boxes or satellite dish receivers may fail to work properly when their output is routed through
a switcher or distribution amplifier, or even when connected directly to a TV. Often the problem may be related to direct current
(DC) being present In the source’s video output signal especially when color problems or picture stability problems occur. Audio
Authority’s Models 1182 & 1183 Video DC Blockers eliminate this problem by removing DC that may be present in the video
output signal of certain set-top and cable boxes on the market today— passively by the 1182 and actively by the 1183.

1182 Passive Video DC Blocker
• Passively removes DC from the video signal. No power required.
• Connects directly in the component video output signal path of the source.
• Solves DC problems related to the Scientific Atlanta SA8300 digital cable box.
• Will NOT solve DC problems related to the Dish Network 622 and other related
receivers - use the 1183 for that application.
1182 • Dimensions (H-W-D, inches) 2 x 3 x 0.9

1183 Active Video DC Blocker
• Actively removes DC from YPbPr video signal.
• Connects directly in the component video output signal path of the source.
• Input and output have 75 ohm termination
• Buffered output
• Solves DC problems related to some Dish Network satellite receivers.
1183 • Power supply included.
• Dimensions (H-W-D, inches) 2.25 x 4.0 x 1.5

Signal Hum Eliminator
In addition to blocking video DC, the Model 1184 is designed to solve the problem of rolling video hum bars caused by AC-line
related noise due to ground loops in coaxial cabling. It can be installed at the input of any device, such as a television display,
that exhibits signs of a ground loop.

1184 Signal Hum Eliminator
• Uses active circuitry to isolate the input and output grounds of the source and the
display to eliminate hum bars at the end of a long run of coaxial cable.
• Active circuitry also greatly reduces signal loss that is exhibited by passive hum
reducing devices.
• Provides video input clamping to thoroughly eliminate artifacts caused by
differences in electrical potential between the chassis of equipment connected to it.
• Eliminates hum from low level stereo audio signals.
1184 • Dimensions (H-W-D, inches) 3.5 x 5.5 x 1.3

IR Converter for Bose® Lifestyle®
and MRI Systems
This one-of-a kind converter allows
a compatible learning IR remote to
communicate with Bose Lifestyle systems

The Model C-1024A makes it possible for multiple
Bose sound and video components to respond to
the commands issued by a single Pronto® or Harmony
880 learning remote control. Small enough to be easily hidden, the
C-1024 is designed for placement behind the video display in the home theater
room. Only the small IR sensor remains visible near the front of the display where it receives
the remote control commands. System control is achieved through a serial jack connection
from the C-1024A to the rear panel of the LIFESTYLE® system. The C-1024 is compatible with
the Bose music center models LIFESTYLE 20, 25 and 30 and the MRI LIFESTYLE 40 and 50.
