You can connect a product from the Marmitek GigaVideo
series to the OUTPUT or AUX connection of the Connect 225
to transmit the audio and video signal wirelessly throughout
the entire house. This means you can also transmit the signal
to a TV in another room and watch the signals from every
device connected to the Connect 225.
The built-in infrared return channel of the GigaVideo series
also means you can control the equipment and the Connect
225 remotely, even through walls and ceilings!
2. Control your Connect 225 and A/V equipment that is
out of sight.
Marmitek offers a range of products to control your equipment
in a closed cabinet or from a different room, both wired and
wireless.

be found at: www.marmitek.com.
3. Audio and video via the coax
The Marmitek MegaVideo and MegaView products give you the
possibility to add the OUTPUT or AUX signal of your Connect 225
as an extra channel to your coax cable. You can watch the signal of
every device connected everywhere in the house where there is a

one remote control for all devices, you can use the Marmitek EasyControl 6, 8 or
the Marmitek EasyTouch 35 to learn the commands of your Connect 225 remote
control. These remote controls replace almost all the controls you now use.
5. S-video to composite video adapter
If the Out connections of devices connected (e.g. a laptop) do
not correspond with the In connections of your Connect 225, in
many cases the Marmitek S-video to Composite Video Adapter
can be used.
For the SCART INPUT/OUTPUT connectors, many different SCART
converters can be obtained.
