27 AMX TDS (Television Delivery System)
Rear Panel - RF IN 1 & 2
The RF IN 1 & 2 connectors accept incoming digital TV signals via a standard coaxial input.
These connectors can also be used to accept incoming signals from another upstream Transmitter, in
installations with multiple Transmitters (see FIG. 41 on page 27).
Refer to the following sections for more information:

Connecting a Terrestrial Source to DTV-TX01-DVB-T Transmitters section on page 37.

Connecting a Satellite Source to DTV-TX02-DVB-S Transmitters
section on page 38.
Rear Panel - RF OUT 1 & 2 (DTV-TX01-DVB-T only)
The RF OUT 1 & 2 aerial plug/Belling-Lee connectors (on the DTV-TX01-DVB-T only) allow you to daisy
chain DTV-TX01-DVB-T Transmitters together. Use these connectors to send the TV signal coming into the
RF IN 1 & 2 connectors to other downstream DTV-TX01-DVB-T Transmitters (FIG. 41).

Each time an RF feed is output from a Transmitter and fed back into another
downstream Transmitter (as an RF input), the signal strength will be lower -
approximately a 3dB drop in signal level for each split in signal.
