In order to distribute CCTV, and DVD successfully around the house,
you need to 'modulate' the signal onto a specific channel, amplify it and distribute it. This section covers devices to perform these
functions. Click here for Labgear RF distribution amplifiers,
and here for Channel Plus distribution amplifiers
Your video (VCR) will modulate its own signal and also signals passing through it into mono sound
(even if it is a stereo VCR). Your Sky box also outputs a modulated signal on the RF out. For a wiring diagram of connections,
see Labgear MRX wiring diagram. It is possible to modulate the signal from a DVD player through the VCR but this
is often not successful. For this reason it is better to have a separate modulator for the DVD. Having a separate modulator for the VCR
can produce a higher quality and more flexible system also.
- An economy modulator for CCTV, satellite, DVD or VCR outputs
- Accepts SCART input from one source. If you want to input using audio and video inputs by RCA phono sockets, then use a SCART to phono adaptor
- Distributes mono modulated channels to single F type co-ax output (TO TV)
- Antenna input (ANT IN) is also F type for secure connection
- Channel is set by push buttons in combination with LED display of channel number
NB: This Labgear modulator has an RF 'loop-through', ie an RF input that goes straight to the RF output. This means you can use it as a combiner.
For example if you are
using this modulator to convert a DVD output for distribution through a TV system, and combining it with say a satellite decoder RF output,
eg Sky, then you can put the RF from Sky into the ANT IN, and the TO TV output will have both channels available for the uplink.
