Signal from Source piece

To connect multiple CT Receivers, the Source In/Out (Buffered Signal) and Link In/Out would be used. The Buffered

In/Out connections would carry audio and video signal between multiple CT Receivers. The Link In/Out connections

would carry communication between the CT Receivers. All source pieces would connect to the first CT Receiver and

then the signal would go from Buffered out on that receiver using a straight through CAT-5 cable to the Buffered In on

the second receiver. The Link Out on the first CT Receiver would go into the Link In on the second receiver and all IR

flashers would be connected to the first receiver. For more information please see the CT 600.3/600.1/300.3 manual.
