TV & FM Radio Tuner: C2N-TTVFM
Introduction
Features and Functions
The Crestron®C2N-TTVFM is a Crestron-controlled, cable-ready television tuner
and FM radio tuner (TV/FM Tuner). Designed to provide superior performance and
flexibility, the unit works stand-alone or with the companion AM/Weather band
tuner, the C2N-TAMWX (AMWX Tuner). The TV/FM Tuner adds television and
high-quality FM radio programming to your whole-house audio/video distribution
system or boardroom AV system.
The TV/FM Tuner is designed to work in a Crestron 2-Series or X-Generation
control system (Cresnet®system). You can use any Crestron multi-mode touchpanel
to search through the stations and control tuner functions. User-programmable
presets let you quickly select your favorite station. Audio output from the TV/FM
Tuner can be routed to a CNX-PAD8A or local preamplifier or to a surround sound
decoder such as the C2N-DAP8 or C2N-DAP8RC. Output can also be routed to a
CNX-BIPAD8 for distribution to other rooms via CAT5 cabling.
