In order to distribute CCTV, freesat, DVD and Blu-ray 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 TV distribution amplifier wiring diagrams. Freesat digiboxes, Blu-ray Disc
players and DVD players do NOT have built-in modulators. These require a modulator.
- An economy modulator for CCTV, freesat, DVD, BD 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. If you want to input from an HDMI source, use an
HDMI to composite video/Stereo
audio converter.
- 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 TV output will have both channels available for the uplink.
