The following changes are required when using multiple modulators in the same installation (stacking) -
• Output channel -
Default is 39 UHF (606.5 MHz). If the modulators are on the same output channel as another
modulator or FTA channel the TV will not scan the channel in. Place all modulators on available channels between 6
to 12 VHF and 28 to 51 UHF (including adjacent channels - 38, 39, 40, etc.)
Note - if you plan on using channel 52 to 69 be aware of LTE transmissions as they may interfere with each other. We
recommend installing a filter.
• LCN (Logic Channel Number) -
default 101. If TV tuner receives two or more LCN’s on the same number, including
FTA channels - the TV will automatically place the LCN on a free range. In Australia this is 350 and up. Suggest to go
101, 102, 103, etc.
•
Channel Name -
default “CHANNEL-1” this is necessary but recommended for clients to be able to identify
channels. For example “APPLE-TV”, “FOXTEL”, “DVD”, etc.
• TS ID (Transport Stream) -
Default can vary per product. You will need to adjust the TS ID # on each additional
modulator up one number per modulator. For example if default is “TS ID #1” - leave on “TS ID #1”, place 2nd
modulator on “TS ID #2”, 3rd on “TS ID #3”, etc. If the TS ID is the same number the TV tuner will not scan both
channels in.
• Program Number -
Default can vary per product. You may need to adjust each additional modulator Program
Number up one number per modulator. For example, if default is “Program Number - 1” - leave on “Program Number
- #1”, place 2nd modulator on “Program Number - #2”, 3rd on “Program Number - #3”, etc. If the Program Number is
the same number the TV tuner will not scan both channels in.
Note - most TVs do not have an issue with this setting but we recommend changing it just in case.
