CHANNELPLUS® NEW PRODUCTS 2005


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-6RF sources like CATV, off-air NTSC, and off-air ATSC (HDTV) use RG-6 coax withstandard 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 residentialsituations. In commercial or extreme noise environments (such as near a radio or television transmitter tower), use quad-shielded RG-6.

CAT-5Category 5 is recommended for telecommunication, camera, and data applications.Consumers building a new home will often want to provide a computer network inorder to protect the long-term resale value of the home. Installing and terminatingthe 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 changingthe termination jacks, you can upgrade the wiring for future applications such asvideo distribution.

DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIERMODELS DA-550HHR AND DA-550BID—12-VOLT IR

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

BID and HHR ModelsThe DA-550BID offers a 5-42 MHz return path for bi-directional communicationswith 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 PowerIf 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 ControlThe 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 OutputsThe 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• Works with most 12-volt IR systems• Expandable to 64 locations for large systems such as schools or sports bars• DA-550BID is perfect for bi-directional interactive cable systems• DA-550HHR is for use with off-air antennas or satellite systems• Use in locations without electrical access, such as a closet; power remotely with a

MULTI-CHANNEL MODULATORS

The ChannelPlus 5400 and 5500 Series products are frequency-agile, installer friendly, audio/video modulators. Each offers easy pushbutton TV channel selectionfor 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 monauralaudio 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 ModelsThe Models 5415,5425,5435, and 5445 are economically priced one, two, three, andfour channel modulators with video loop-through capabilities. The modulators offerremovable 75-ohm video termination jumpers for each channel. When installed, thetermination jumpers provide a 75-ohm balanced load to thevideo input signals. Whenremoved,the modulator videoinputs are high impedance,allowing use of a Model 2743cable set or "Y" adapter to"loop through" the video at themodulator, applying no load toa video signal that will be terminated downstream by alocal video monitor or VCR.

5500 Series ModelsThe Models 5515, 5525, and5545 are one, two, and fourchannel modulators that offerthe same specifications as the 5400 Series plus integrated IR control. The modulator'sIR output jacks connect to IR emitters affixed to the modulator's audio/video sourcedevices, providing upstream IR remote control from each viewing location to the source

devices. Infrared remote control signals arereceived at IR targets connected between the outputs of the modulator's distribution amplifierand the viewer's television sets. The IR remotecontrol signals pass back through the coax cableand will be repeated at the modulator's IR emitteroutput jacks. The 5500 Series is compatible with

5-volt or 12-volt IR systems. The 5500 Series modulators can remotely power

DA-550 or DA-8200 Series distribution amplifiers through themodulator's RF output coax cablefrom up to 75' away.

IR ACCESSORIES

WHOLE-HOUSE INFRARED REMOTE CONTROL

System ComponentsFor setting up infrared remote control, the 2100 series is available in numerousmodels 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-voltIR systems.

Infrared via Coax CablesControl 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 aninfrared remote control at the target and presses a button. The infrared codes emitted from the remote control are transmitted through the home’s coaxial cableand instantly repeated by each infrared emitter connected to the system. Infraredcodes sent via the coax are far more reliable and free of interference than infraredtransmitted through the air. In addition, all of the infrared components are poweredcentrally from the coaxial cable panel. There is no need for power supplies in any ofthe rooms where TVs or audio/video products are located. There is no need for anyadditional wires.

Compatible with ChannelPlus Coaxial Cable PanelsTo 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.

Expand IR SignalsThe 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 eightslave units, you must utilize a 2181 at each slave DA-550 or DA-8200 panel toensure IR control signals are passed from master to slave units. This configurationallows each TV with a target that is connected to a slave unit to send IR signals backto the audio/video devices connected to the master DA-550 or DA-8200.

CAMERAS

HIGH-PERFORMANCE INDOOR/OUTDOOR VIDEO CAMERAS

ChannelPlus in-wall and surface-mount high-performance video cameras are designedto provide a high-quality color or black & white video signal for individual videomonitors or for single or multi-television modulated RF video distribution systems.

Low-light Black & White and Color ModelsFour models of low-light black & white cameras and six models of color cameras areavailable. Two models are in-wall mounting style, two models are surface mountingball-style, and six “bullet” style models are supplied with a universal mountingbracket. The Model 7430B (black case) and 7430S (silver case) color cameras featurean automatic night time infrared lighting source that switches on after dark to givethe camera black & white “night vision” capabilities.

IN-WALL CAMERASThe Models 7111C and 7120 in-wall cameras are designed not to attract attention.Created to look down from a door top height, they appear more like passiveinfrared sensors than cameras. This makes them ideal for placement at a front orback door for screening visitors, or in a child’s room for baby monitoring.

Easy Pre-wire and Installation for In-wall CamerasFor interior installations, cut a hole in the drywall using the template and the low-voltage mounting clip (included). Pre-wire with RG-59 or RG-6 coax for thevideo and 22 AWG bell wire for power. For new construction, install a double-gangmud ring. For exterior installations, mount the 7111C or 7120 inside a deep double-gang, weather-proof junction box.

SURFACE-MOUNT CAMERASThe Models 7400B (black case) and 7400W (white case) surface mount cameras feature a unique ball-mounting design. The cameras can be rotated in their surface-mount retaining rings to point to almost any location. For security, the ball-style design conceals the camera in installations where a standard camera would attract unwanted attention.

BULLET STYLE CAMERASThe “bullet” style cameras are supplied with a thumbscrew locking universal mounting bracket. Each model has an adjustable sun shield that can be removed for indoor use. TheModels 7410B (black case) and 7410S (silver case) are low-light black & white cam-eras. The Models 7420B (black case) and 7420S (silver case) are color cameras. TheModels 7430B (black case) and 7430S (silver case) are color cameras with automaticnight time infrared lighting for black & white “night vision” capabilities.

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 asignal from a source or combine signals from multiple sources onto one coax run.

9 dB TapThe 2509 9 dB tap provides a bandwidth of 1 GHz and minimal insertion lossthrough the tap, while allowing a signal to be tapped from the original source. Thetap works asymmetrically by splitting the signal unevenly. The output has minimalloss (1 dB), while the other output has high loss (9 dB). The tap can be used inreverse to combine very high signals with low to normal signals.

Tilt CompensatorCoaxial cable attenuates high frequencies more than low frequencies. The TC-200creates an attenuation loss equal and opposite to cable loss. This problem is mostsevere when cascading amplifiers one after another. The signal differences areamplified to a point where the higher frequency signals are so small compared tothe low frequency signals that they can no longer be received. The TC-200 providesa 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 equalamplitude at distant locations. Therefore, the picture quality on higher channels will be maintained.

75 Ohm TerminatorThe 2507 terminator provides a 75 ohm load that can be used on unused splitteroutput ports to maintain uniform signal levels.

Blocking Capacitor Model 2501Inserted 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.

Cable Box Combiner Kit Model C-BCKUse 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 thebox to be tuned to all normal CATV channels; these are viewed when the TV is tuned tochannel 3. Modulated channels are viewed when the TV is tuned to the ChannelPlusmodulator channels. The kit includes a high-pass filter, two 2-way splitter/combiners andtwo 6-inch coaxial cables.

In-Line Attenuators Models 2503 and 2506Inserted in coaxial cable feeds to reduce amplitude levels. The 2503 provides a 3 dBinsertion loss and the 2506 provides a 6 dB insertion loss. Combinations can be used forgreater insertion loss. A more permanent solution than a variable attenuator.

Cable Set Model 2743The six foot 2743 cable set has special RCA connectors that allows another set of cablesto 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 V902The V902 allows antenna signals and IF satellite signals to be combined onto one coaxrun and then separated at the receiver/TV locations.

Patch Cords for Data and Ethernet NetworksThe 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-469Use when broadband entertainment feed is supplied by a CATV service. The filterremoves all CATV channels above the pass band, allowing insertion of locally-generatedChannelPlus modulated channels. Also, the filter removes cable system noise thatdegrades picture quality of locally-generated channels. The NF-469 notch filter allowsinsertion of modulated channels by blocking CATV channels 64-70 and UHF 14-19 andstops 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 broadcastbetween 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 andinteractive 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 activeinterlaced material. Interlaced means that the 480 lines are divided into two fields, even numbered lines are transmittedduring field one and odd numbered lines are transmitted during field two. Each field is drawn on the screen every 60th ofa 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 standardwith many having an aspect ratio of 16:9. All DTV tuners are compatible with all 18 standards. The three main standardsinclude 480p, 720p, and 1080i. The 480p and 720p are progressive formats, which allows the entire picture to be drawnin a single pass. The 1080I is interlaced and like NTSC, is drawn in two passes of two separate fields. Only the 720p and1080I displayed in a 16:9 format are considered to be true HDTV. 480p is considered standard television (SDTV). The audiois encoded using Dolby Digital offering up to 5:1 channels of digital sound.

RF TROUBLESHOOTING WITH CHANNELPLUS

Problem: NO PICTUREVerify 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 isbroadcasting 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 CHANNELIf the TV has a separate UHF input, be sure that it is connected.

Problem: LEDS ON THE MODULATOR BLINKThe display will blink if you have assigned the same channel to multiple inputs. You needto 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 wherethere should be none. Move the modulated channel to another number. You may haveto add a low pass filter to remove cable company noise. If a filter does not work, tryadding 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 isover loaded by abnormally strong signals. Often, you can cure the problem with a simpleattenuator. Use a variable attenuator and try to find a signal level where the interferencejust 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 problemis a nearby TV station, often the station management can provided suitable filters.

Problem: AUDIO VOLUME IS LOWThe left and right audio inputs are combined for monaural. For proper audio level, bothright 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 CHANNELSYou may have chosen the incorrect cable standard. Not all televisions can accommodatethe 1.25 MHz frequency difference between the H and I cable standards.

Problem: TROUBLE WITH THE INFRARED REMOTE CONTROLUse the red IR DATA light on the modulator as a trouble-shooting aid. This light will blinkas remote control signals are relayed. If the light is constantly on, one or more of the IRtargets is receiving electrical or optical noise. At the distribution unit, begin to disconnectthe outputs to the TVs until the IR DATA light goes off. This will tell you which IR targetis the source of the noise. Next cover the front of the offending IR target. If the IR DATAlight 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 electricalnoise 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 toindicate a proper operation, but the component is not being controlled, the IR emittermay 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 exceed200’ (60 m), add a tilt compensatorwhenever an amplifier stage follows.

2. Determine cable type to be used andenter all system losses using the chartbelow.

3. Add amplifiers when necessary to ensure that the signal level never fallsbelow 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 toensure that the signal level at the TVs does not exceed 15 dBmV (75 dBµV).

5. Study the example below. If you needhelp call Linear Technical Support at 800-999-5225.

EXAMPLE: 68 TV SCHOOL SYSTEMThe 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 andup to 64 TVs located in distant classrooms (up to 650’ from the media center). The small numbers in red indicate the signallevel in dBmV (add 60 dBmV) at various locations in the system. For the gains and losses associates with the various RF components (see the chart below).

GLOSSARY OF RF AND DATA TERMS

Adjacent Channels: Two television channels having video carriers 6 Mhz apart or two FM channels having carriers occupyingneighboring 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-airantennas

Cable Back-Feed: Signals from an inserted modulated channel that travel back into the cable source. Using a modulator on acable 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/TIA568; 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 andCATV 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 bandpass 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 combinedprior to distribution

GLOSSARY OF RF AND DATA TERMS (cont’d)

REFERENCE

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 lossoccurs 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 receivesits 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 withmodular 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” connectorsfor 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 isolatesthe 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 tothe 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 lowestchannel

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 networkconfigurations over twisted pair transmission systems up to 100 meters in length without the use of a repeater
