An Example for Off-Air RF Pass-Thru
A facility has an outside antenna that contains several local TV channels that they wish to provide to their patients for
viewing in addition to Satellite TV channels.
The facility is equipped with the PDI-P15X arm mounted television powered remotely from a central style power supply.
The Off-Air antenna signal is connected to the input of the central power supply and the STB is connected using the
Optional Secondary RF Coax cable as shown on pages 8 and 9.
For this configuration, the yellow (Menu)
button on the TV’s keypad is chosen to Power the STB on and off by changing
the mapping of the TV “Menu” key to “Power”.
Now, Exit the Interface Module SETUP menu by pressing the SETUP button on the programming remote.
Pressing the “MENU” button on the TV’s keypad should power the STB on and off with each key press. The only
remaining setup involves programming the TV for the Off-Air channels while the STB is o
ff. The TV’s channel
programming is not required to include the STB’s channel as well. For example, if the STB is set for channel 3 output, the
same channel could be omitted from the TV’s channel table, if no local channel 3 is available. Please see the
programming instructions specific to the model PDi TV being used.
