(Crestron cable #CNSP-122)
No, I didn't use this. Is it known whether this cable will allow me
to split it's output to multiple Control S devices?
No, I don't know if this can be split, but you could try.

I called Crestron on Thursday, but forgot to ask them if this could be
split. I asked about the Control S cable. It simply has a diode
(1N914) connecting the ground to the tip at the Control S end. They
faxed me a diagram, which indicates that the cable should be 10 feet
(no mention as to why).
My current status with the Control S stuff is this:
VCR - I learned all functions from the remote that came with the VCR
(I had been using a driver from the Crestron DB), stripped the carrier
frequency and all functions work perfectly.
DVD - I did the same as with the VCR and have poor results. Both
drivers use a repeat value of 4. The commands work, but only after a
random number of button presses. Sometimes pressing a button once
works, or it can take up to 5 or 6. Using the driver with an IR
emitter before stripping the carrier frequency worked fine. Do any of
you on the list have a Sony DVD player and the required Control S
cable? If so, would you be willing to give my driver a test run (only
need to try a few functions)? What's interesting is that the discrete
power functions (power on, power off) that Crestron came up with in
Control S format work just fine... Unfortunately, it's hard for me to
determine if my driver is bad or if there's something wrong with the
DVD player...
If someone can help me out here, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Geoffrey Reynolds
