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).
10 ft is too long if the cable is high capacitance and shielded. Cat 5 cable
works for 50 ft in most cases (USTP).
My current status with the Control S stuff is this:
VCR - I learned . . . work perfectly.
DVD - I did the same as with the VCR and have poor results.
I haven't tried this with a DVD player yet, so I am not sure. It's too bad
Sony doesn't make these files available. I have found that reversing the
diode sometimes works (though I have no idea why).
