MATV stands for Master Antenna Television. It is the means by which many apartment
houses hotels, schools and other multi -unit buildings distribute TV and FM signals to a
number of receivers. In order to accomplish this without a loss of signal quality, these
systems must be carefully planned and engineered through the effective use of MATV
equipment and techniques.
An MATV system is basically a network of cables and specially designed components that
process and amplify TV and FM signals and distribute them from one central location . If
there were 100 TV sets in a building, it would be extremely expensive to Install and maintain
l00 separate antennas. Not only would It be unsightly, but reception would suffer becau se
that many antennas would interact with each other, causing interference problems.
A mass of commercial premises including hotels, offices, housing developments and holiday
parks, now utilise some form of structured cable system to supply an array of di fferent
programmes and information services to their end -user customers.
A modern MATV system can carry analogue and digital television signals through an aerial,
both free-to-view and subscription, FM radio and DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) but it
cannot carry satellite signals. Some MATV systems in use today are over 30 -years old and
the many are unsuitable for carrying digital television signals. These will need to be surveyed
and may require modification or replacement.
In a typical MATV system:

Y The aerial is a conventional UHF TV aerial, receiving both analogue and digital TV
signals.
Y Signals received by the aerial are then processed. In systems that have not been
modified to carry digital, it is usually this processing that restricts or prevents th e
digital signals from being handled correctly, as the processors are only designed to
handle analogue TV signals.
Y A distribution network then delivers all television signals to a socket outlet in each
household. There can be more than one outlet per house hold, but only one TV set
can be connected to each outlet.
Y How the distribution network is configured will depend on the number of dwellings
and floors in the building.
