PRE-WIRE WITH INDUSTRY STANDARD CABLING
The demand for multi-room video entertainment and telecommunications

(telephone, fax, computer, and data networking) is easily satisfied with the
installation of RG-6 coax and CAT-5 UTP wire. The key is to pre-wire. When you
put the right cables in the walls, the rest is easy.
An important feature of the ChannelPlus integrated home network is that it
utilizes industry-recognized cabling. The cable types listed here are available from
a wide variety of manufacturers ensuring both competitive prices, availability,
and compatibility now and in the future.
CABLE TYPES AND USAGE
RG-6
RF sources like CATV, off-air NTSC, and off-air ATSC (HDTV) use RG-6 coax with
standard foil shield and aluminum braid. For DBS satellite installations — from dish,
to multi-switch, to receiver — use standard RG-6. It is perfect for most residential
situations. In commercial or extreme noise environments (such as near a radio or
television transmitter tower), use quad-shielded RG-6.
CAT-5
Category 5 is recommended for telecommunication, camera, and data applications.
Consumers building a new home will often want to provide a computer network in
order to protect the long-term resale value of the home. Installing and terminating
the cable is as simple as a telephone installation. CAT-5 is made up of four
unshielded twisted pairs (UTP). This type of cable is easy to find and by changing
the termination jacks, you can upgrade the wiring for future applications such as
video distribution.

MODELS DA-550HHR AND DA-550BID—12-VOLT IR
High Headroom Video Distribution Amplifiers

The DA-550 series is designed with the highest headroom available in a distribution
amplifier. Traditional panels are not equipped to handle the large variations in
signal strengths associated with systems having both analog TV and HDTV. New
technologies, such as HDTV, create special problems for current video distribution
panels. The DA-550s can handle an extremely wide range of input signals from
today’s NTSC and tomorrow’s digital TV. The DA-550 is the heart of a multi-room
distribution system with outputs to eight televisions, coax runs up to 150’, and
three inputs (one from a CATV or antenna and two from modulators).

BID and HHR Models
The DA-550BID offers a 5-42 MHz return path for bi-directional communications
with digital cable interactive set-up boxes. The DA-550 HHR is for use in high
performance antenna applications for off-air digital and NTSC signals.
Remote or Local Power

If power is unavailable, the DA-550 can be remotely powered from the media
center using wall plate Model 2010 or a 5500 or SVM series modulator.
Infrared Remote Control

The DA-550 is equipped with a 12-volt IR engine IR that allows any infrared
controllable video product (DVD, satellite) to be operated from any of the eight
television locations using 2100A wall plates and 2132 IR targets. IR control
signals can be sent to additional DA-550 units by using the 2181 IR expander
(see page 32). Use 2501 DC block when 2100A is not used on all outputs.
Expandable TV Outputs
The DA-550 is expandable up to 64 TV outputs with the addition of up to eight
DA-550s. Each additional DA-550 adds its own modulator inputs for increased
flexibility.
SUGGESTED USES

MODULATION
MULTI-CHANNEL MODULATORS NEW

!
The ChannelPlus 5400 and 5500 Series products are frequency-agile, installer
friendly, audio/video modulators. Each offers easy pushbutton TV channel selection
for programming the modulated RF output.The RF output level for all models is
25 dBmV (85 dBµv). Both series feature stereo audio inputs and provide monaural
audio output on the modulated channel(s). The 5415 and 5515 single channel
modulators are one quarter of the size of the two, three, and four channel
companion products while providing all the power output of the companion products.
5400 Series Models

The Models 5415,5425,5435, and 5445 are economically priced one, two, three, and
four channel modulators with video loop-through capabilities. The modulators offer
removable 75-ohm video termination jumpers for each channel. When installed, the
termination jumpers provide a
75-ohm balanced load to the
video input signals. When
removed,the modulator video
inputs are high impedance,
allowing use of a Model 2743
cable set or "Y" adapter to
"loop through" the video at the
modulator, applying no load to
a video signal that will be
terminated downstream by a
local video monitor or VCR.
5500 Series Models

The Models 5515, 5525, and model 5415, 5425, 5435, 5445
5545 are one, two, and four
channel modulators that offer
the same specifications as the 5400 Series plus integrated IR control. The modulator's
IR output jacks connect to IR emitters affixed to the modulator's audio/video source
devices, providing upstream IR remote control from each viewing location to the source
devices. Infrared remote control signals are
received at IR targets connected between the
outputs of the modulator's distribution amplifier
and the viewer's television sets. The IR remote
control signals pass back through the coax cable
and will be repeated at the modulator's IR emitter
output jacks. The 5500 Series is compatible with
5-volt or 12-volt IR systems. The 5500 Series
modulators can remotely power
model 5545 DA-550 or DA-8200 Series

REMOTE CONTROL
System Components
For setting up infrared remote control, the 2100 series is available in numerous
models and configurations. Users can select from infrared interfaces, targets,
emitters, and expansion blocks. An infrared interface wall plate — Model 2100A —
must be used at each location where a target or an emitter is to be used in 12-volt
IR systems.
Infrared via Coax Cables
Control any video or audio product (VCR, satellite receiver, DVD, etc.) from any
location in the house. Regardless of where the product is, the user simply aims an
infrared remote control at the target and presses a button. The infrared codes
emitted from the remote control are transmitted through the home’s coaxial cable
and instantly repeated by each infrared emitter connected to the system. Infrared
codes sent via the coax are far more reliable and free of interference than infrared
transmitted through the air. In addition, all of the infrared components are powered
centrally from the coaxial cable panel. There is no need for power supplies in any of
the rooms where TVs or audio/video products are located. There is no need for any
additional wires.

Compatible with ChannelPlus Coaxial Cable Panels

To use the 2100 series 12-volt components, it is necessary that a ChannelPlus
Model DA-550 coaxial cable panel be used in the system. It provides power to all
of the system IR components and ensures that the signals are passed from targets
to emitters.

The Model 2181 IR expander should be used to send IR control signals to slave
DA-550s or DA-8200s. With a master DA-550 or DA-8200 and adding up to eight
slave units, you must utilize a 2181 at each slave DA-550 or DA-8200 panel to
ensure IR control signals are passed from master to slave units. This configuration
allows each TV with a target that is connected to a slave unit to send IR signals back
to the audio/video devices connected to the master DA-550 or DA-8200.

SPLITTERS AND ACCESSORIES
SPLITTER/COMBINER
ChannelPlus bi-directional 2-way, 4-way, and 8-way splitter/combiners provide a

1 GHz bandwidth and are ideal for antenna and coaxial cable operations. The
splitter/combiner is one product that can be used for two applications. It can split a
signal from a source or combine signals from multiple sources onto one coax run.
9 dB Tap
The 2509 9 dB tap provides a bandwidth of 1 GHz and minimal insertion loss
through the tap, while allowing a signal to be tapped from the original source. The
models 2514, 2512
tap works asymmetrically by splitting the signal unevenly. The output has minimal
loss (1 dB), while the other output has high loss (9 dB). The tap can be used in
reverse to combine very high signals with low to normal signals.
Tilt Compensator
Coaxial cable attenuates high frequencies more than low frequencies. The TC-200
creates an attenuation loss equal and opposite to cable loss. This problem is most
severe when cascading amplifiers one after another. The signal differences are
amplified to a point where the higher frequency signals are so small compared to
the low frequency signals that they can no longer be received. The TC-200 provides
a balanced signal level by compensating for 200 feet of cable loss for the high
frequency attenuation and allowing all signal levels on all channels to be of equal
amplitude at distant locations. Therefore, the picture quality on higher channels
models 2532, 2534 will be maintained.
75 Ohm Terminator
The 2507 terminator provides a 75 ohm load that can be used on unused splitter
output ports to maintain uniform signal levels.

AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
Blocking Capacitor Model 2501

Inserted in the coax cable when DC and/or IR control pulses are present. The 2501
blocking cap acts like an open circuit to IR control signals, yet passes all RF signals on.
Example: Using a 12-volt IR system and not using 2100A wall plates at all coax drops,
insert a Model 2501 on the end of the coax.
model 2501 Cable Box Combiner Kit Model C-BCK

Use when a CATV converter box is required at each TV, but does not have unused
channels available for modulated ChannelPlus channels. The Model C-BCK kit allows the
model C-BCK box to be tuned to all normal CATV channels; these are viewed when the TV is tuned to
channel 3. Modulated channels are viewed when the TV is tuned to the ChannelPlus
modulator channels. The kit includes a high-pass filter, two 2-way splitter/combiners and
two 6-inch coaxial cables.
In-Line Attenuators Models 2503 and 2506

Inserted in coaxial cable feeds to reduce amplitude levels. The 2503 provides a 3 dB
models 2503, 2506
insertion loss and the 2506 provides a 6 dB insertion loss. Combinations can be used for
greater insertion loss. A more permanent solution than a variable attenuator.
model 2743
Cable Set Model 2743
The six foot 2743 cable set has special RCA connectors that allows another set of cables
to be connected to its RCAs so signals can be looped through without use of a “Y”
adapter. Ideal for use with 5500 series modulators.
Diplexer Model V902

The V902 allows antenna signals and IF satellite signals to be combined onto one coax
run and then separated at the receiver/TV locations.
model 8091
Patch Cords for Data and Ethernet Networks
The 8091 is one foot with RJ45 connections. The 8092 is two feet with RJ45 connections.

Low Pass Filters Models LPF-380, -470, -600, 750, NF-469
Use when broadband entertainment feed is supplied by a CATV service. The filter
removes all CATV channels above the pass band, allowing insertion of locally-generated
ChannelPlus modulated channels. Also, the filter removes cable system noise that
degrades picture quality of locally-generated channels. The NF-469 notch filter allows
insertion of modulated channels by blocking CATV channels 64-70 and UHF 14-19 and
stops back-feed of modulated signals to the CATV or MATV service provider.

FAQS — DTV COMPATIBLE AMPLIFIERS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT DTV COMPATIBLE AMPLIFIERS

Q. Can I use ChannelPlus amplifiers to distribute DTV?
A. Yes, ChannelPlus DA series amplifies all video signals between 54 MHz and 1 GHz. Television, including DTV, is broadcast
between 55 MHz and 800 MHz. Our new generation of amplifiers increases headroom to reduce distortion and
accommodates digital signals. In addition, they offer more robust power and greater EMI rejection.
Q. When do I use a bi-directional (BID) amplifier and when do I use a high headroom (HHR) amplifier?
A. Either amplifier can be used with DTV. The BID amplifier has a 5-42 MHz return path designed for cable modems and
interactive cable boxes (pay-per-view). Use the HHR amplifier for installations where an antenna is being used.
Q. When is ChannelPlus going to make a DTV modulator?
A. A modulator is not needed for “off-the-air” DTV. Modulators are only used to distribute local video sources. Currently,
there are no video sources that provide the ATSC (DTV) data stream. When DVD players or VCRs that generate HDTV
signals become available, we will design a solution to distribute them.
Q. How do NTSC and DTV differ?
A. NTSC and DTV differ in picture format, lines of resolution, modulation methods when transmitted, and audio encoding.
NTSC is an analog RF transmission with a picture format of 4:3. The resolution rate is 525 lines with 480 lines of active
interlaced material. Interlaced means that the 480 lines are divided into two fields, even numbered lines are transmitted
during field one and odd numbered lines are transmitted during field two. Each field is drawn on the screen every 60th of
a second, this is known as 480i. The audio is transmitted using MTS stereo and Dolby Pro Logic®.
DTV or ATSC is a digital video standard and transmitted using 8VSB modulation. There are 18 variations on the standard
with many having an aspect ratio of 16:9. All DTV tuners are compatible with all 18 standards. The three main standards
include 480p, 720p, and 1080i. The 480p and 720p are progressive formats, which allows the entire picture to be drawn
in a single pass. The 1080I is interlaced and like NTSC, is drawn in two passes of two separate fields. Only the 720p and
1080I displayed in a 16:9 format are considered to be true HDTV. 480p is considered standard television (SDTV). The audio
is encoded using Dolby Digital offering up to 5:1 channels of digital sound.

RF TROUBLESHOOTING WITH CHANNELPLUS
Problem: NO PICTURE
Verify that the video source is on and is producing a video signal. Check that the TV
and the modulator are tuned to the same channel. For example, if the modulator is
broadcasting on UHF channel 16, make sure the TV is on UHF 16 rather than CATV 16.
UHF 16 and CATV 16 are at different frequencies.
Problem: WEAK CHANNELPLUS UHF CHANNEL

If the TV has a separate UHF input, be sure that it is connected.
Problem: LEDS ON THE MODULATOR BLINK

The display will blink if you have assigned the same channel to multiple inputs. You need
to have one unused channel space between channels.
Problem: DIAGONAL LINES KNOWN AS HERRINGBONE INTERFERENCE ON

CHANNELPLUS CHANNELS
You may have chosen a channel number that is not completely vacant. Distant UHF
stations may be unviewable, but will cause interference if you try to create a new
channel at the same frequency. Also, cable companies often have extra signals where
there should be none. Move the modulated channel to another number. You may have
to add a low pass filter to remove cable company noise. If a filter does not work, try
adding a DC-block to remove common mode interference.
Problem: HERRINGBONE INTERFERENCE ON MULTIPLE CHANNELS, INCLUDING

MODULATED CHANNELS
If the problem disappears when you remove the CATV/Ant feed, then the RF amplifier is
over loaded by abnormally strong signals. Often, you can cure the problem with a simple
attenuator. Use a variable attenuator and try to find a signal level where the interference
just disappears. Sometimes, the problem is one station that is far stronger than the rest.
Attenuating all of the signals with a simple attenuator will cause the desired stations
to be weak (snowy). In this case you must reduce the strength of only the offending
station. A common FM trap will help if the problem is a nearby FM tower. If the problem
is a nearby TV station, often the station management can provided suitable filters.
Problem: AUDIO VOLUME IS LOW

The left and right audio inputs are combined for monaural. For proper audio level, both
right and left inputs must be used. If you have a mono source,
connect it to both right and left inputs using an RCA ‘Y’ connector.
Problem: NO COLOR ON CHANNELPLUS CHANNELS

You may have chosen the incorrect cable standard. Not all televisions can accommodate
the 1.25 MHz frequency difference between the H and I cable standards.
Problem: TROUBLE WITH THE INFRARED REMOTE CONTROL

Use the red IR DATA light on the modulator as a trouble-shooting aid. This light will blink
as remote control signals are relayed. If the light is constantly on, one or more of the IR
targets is receiving electrical or optical noise. At the distribution unit, begin to disconnect
the outputs to the TVs until the IR DATA light goes off. This will tell you which IR target
is the source of the noise. Next cover the front of the offending IR target. If the IR DATA
light turns off, the IR target is “seeing” a source of IR noise, such as a solid-state
fluorescent lamp. If the light does not go out, the problem may be radiated electrical
noise from the Plasma or direct view TV. Reposition this IR target. On 5-volt systems,
if repositioning the IR target does not help, the TV may be conducting noise from its
input. Place a DC block between the IR target and the TV. If the IR DATA light seems to
indicate a proper operation, but the component is not being controlled, the IR emitter
may be mislocated. Be sure the emitters are in front of the IR sensor on the video source.
RF SYSTEM DESIGN
1. Layout system noting lengths of runs,

locations of splitters, taps, combiners,
and TV sets. Where cable runs exceed
200’ (60 m), add a tilt compensator
whenever an amplifier stage follows.
2. Determine cable type to be used and
enter all system losses using the chart
below.
3. Add amplifiers when necessary to
ensure that the signal level never falls
below 0 dBmV (60 dBmV) at any
point in the system and that TVs get
at least 5 dBmV (65 dBmV) of signal.
4. Add attenuators when necessary to
ensure that the signal level at the TVs
does not exceed 15 dBmV (75 dBµV).
5. Study the example below. If you need
help call Linear Technical Support
at 800-999-5225.
EXAMPLE:
68 TV SCHOOL SYSTEM
The head end is located in the media center. A CATV feed is combined with the output of two modulators (typically
connected to an assortment of VCRs, satellite receivers, and DVD players). There are four TVs located in the media center and
up to 64 TVs located in distant classrooms (up to 650’ from the media center). The small numbers in red indicate the signal
level in dBmV (add 60 dBmV) at various locations in the system. For the gains and losses associates with the various RF

GLOSSARY OF RF AND DATA TERMS
Adjacent Channels: Two television channels having video carriers 6 Mhz apart or two FM channels having carriers occupying
neighboring channel allocations
Amplifier: A device used to increase the power and voltage level of a signal
Attenuator: A passive device used to reduce signal strength
Baseband: A data signal that has not been modulated onto a carrier (i.e., Hi-Fi Audio, NTSC Video, or RS-232 Data)
BID: Bi-directional, as in systems used with CATV services using pay-per-view or cable modems; BID is not for use with off-air
antennas
Cable Back-Feed: Signals from an inserted modulated channel that travel back into the cable source. Using a modulator on a
cable service provider’s system (CATV or MATV) requires a mixing amplifier or filter (NF-469) to prevent the signal from back-
feeding into the cable or antenna system.
Category Rated: Twisted pair communications circuits are rated by category, whose specifications are covered under EIA/TIA
568; the higher the category number, the higher the information capacity of the circuit
CATV (Community Antenna Television): An RF distribution system that distributes television broadcast programs, original
programs, premium programming, and other services using a network of coaxial cable
Channel: In television, a portion of the RF spectrum, 6 MHz wide that carries the audio and video carriers of the television signal
CO (Central Office): A reference to the local telephone exchange carrier
Coaxial Cable: A concentric cable consisting of a center conductor, a dielectric, and a shield; coax used for most MATV and
CATV work has a characteristic impedance of 75 ohms
Composite Video Signal: The composite video signal including the picture (luminance) signal, the blanking and sync pulses,
and the color (chrominance)
Cross Connect: The physical connection between patch panels or punch-down blocks that facilitates connections from
systems and feeds to drops
Crosstalk: The unwanted introduction of signals from one channel to another
Decibel: Abbreviation dB; a logarithmic function used to simplify MATV calculations; decibels can be added or
subtracted; 0 dB is the standard reference level for all MATV calculations
dBmV: An absolute signal level where 0 dBmV is equal to 1000 µV across 75 ohms
Egress: A condition often called “signal leakage” in which signals carried by the distribution system radiate into the air
Filter: Fibers are used to block out undesired frequencies; there are two types of filters — band pass and rejection; a band
pass filter permits only the desired range to pass through, while the rejection filter attenuates an undesired range of
frequencies
Gain: A measure of amplification of a device, usually expressed in dB at the highest frequency of operation
Ghosting: A signal interference condition producing positive or negative pictures displaced in time from the desired picture,
caused by multi-path signal reception; ghost pictures also result from cable ringing
HDTV (High Definition Television): A high resolution, wide-screen common picture format and transmission
standard for bringing broadcast television to the home
Head End: The equipment located at the start of a CATV system; the place where the signals are processed and combined
prior to distribution
continued on page 48
REFERENCE
GLOSSARY OF RF AND DATA TERMS (cont’d)
HHR: A high head room amplifier used in high performance off-air antenna or non bi-directional CATV systems
Ingress: A condition where unwanted RF signal leaks into a distribution system
Insertion Loss: Also called “feed through loss”; this is the loss that occurs as signals pass through a passive device; insertion loss
occurs in all devices that do not amplify the signal
MATV (Master Antenna Television System): A distribution system that is usually contained within a single building and receives
its signals from an antenna or CATV system
Modulation: Placing information, audio/video, onto a higher frequency carrier by means of amplitude, frequency,
or phase adjustment
Off-Air: Any channel that can be received by a conventional antenna system, including VHF and UHF broadcasts
Patch Cords: The cords interconnecting terminations at the central distribution panel; typically these cords are terminated with
modular plugs
RG6 Cable: A coaxial cable used for broadband video applications; RG6 has an 18 gauge center conductor, allowing
a higher bandwidth than the RG59 cable, which has a smaller 20 gauge center conductor; RG6 uses standard “F” connectors
for video equipment connections
RF (Radio Frequency): Generally refers to data modulated over a high-frequency carrier for wireless transmission
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (S/N): The ratio of desired signal level to the undesired noise level expressed in dB
Signal Strength: The intensity of an RF signal measured in volts (V), millivolts (mV), microvolts (mV), or dBmV
Snow: A large quantity of random noise in a television picture that results from a poor CON (earner-to-noise) ratio
Tap: A device inserted into a feeder line that allows a specific amount of signal to be removed from the feeder line and isolates
the TAP port from the main through line
Terminator: A resistive device that matches a cable or the unused output of an active or passive system component
to its characteristic impedance; proper termination is required to prevent unused portions from causing reflections back down to
the line
Tilt: A linearized change in the frequency response of the CATV system, caused primarily by the frequency dependent cable loss;
tilt is quantified by comparing the difference between the level of the highest channel’s video carrier and that of the lowest
channel
UHF (Ultra High Frequency): Off-air television channels 14 to 83
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair): Twisted pair cable without either individual or overall shielding
VHF (Very High Frequency): Off-air television channels 2 to 13
100BASE-T: 100 Mbps 802.3/Ethernet over standard unshielded twisted pair cable specification; 100BASE-T supports network
configurations over twisted pair transmission systems up to 100 meters in length without the use of a repeater
