Overview The RAVD1 RNET A/V Decoder allows you to use a remote source with a Russound RNET® or other multiroom audio-video system. Connected to a source input device such as the BGD1 iBridge Dock with a single CAT-5 cable, the RAVD1 provides the necessary source connections at the system controller. Housed in a compact surface-mount metal box, the RAVD1 provides connectors for RNET Link, IR control, stereo audio, and composite video. A special RJ-45 jack receives encoded signals from the source input device using RNET A/V technology. The RAVD1 comes with a 12 VDC power supply and patch cables for connecting to the multiroom system. 3.
