Introduction
Most homes still use coaxial cable as a way
to distribute TV signals from the aerial to
the various TVs within the property. The
new MOD200 modulator allows you to
make the best out of this set up and use it
to distribute your home CCTV through this
same coaxial cable network.
It works by allowing the HDMI output of a
DVR (or other equipment such as a Satellite
box) to be converted into a digital RF signal
or “Digital TV channel” so you can distribute
it around a home and watch it on any TV
just like it was a real digital TV channel.
The MOD200 produces a high quality
1080p picture far superior to an analogue
modulated signal and as all new TVs contain
a digital tuner it’s a great way to distribute
CCTV in a home or a commercial building
via coaxial cable.
The HDMI input to the MOD200 also
carries sound alongside the video, so any
connected TVs will also be able to playback
sound from the DVR or other device too.
The MOD200 is also extremely useful
for distributing the output from DVRs to
multiple “TVs” in commercial environments
such as pubs or clubs as it can all be done
over low cost coax using an off-the-shelf
RF distributor.
User Information
The modulator must be installed in a
clean, dry environment where it will
not be exposed to high temperatures,
moisture or excessive dust.
Do not touch the modulator or any of its
connections with wet hands.
Ensure the power is switched off if the
modulator is not in use for a long period
of time.
There are no user serviceable parts in the
modulator and opening or attempting to
repair the product will void the warranty.
Only use the PSU originally supplied with
the product.
Do not install or use the device if the
power cable is damaged.
Ensure the power to the modulator is
switched off when connecting or
removing cables.
Note:
The MOD200 has to process and digitise the HDMI input from the DVR and this creates a small delay or
“latency” in its output, this is typically in the region of 200 milliseconds. This means the TV picture would
be around 1/5 second behind what the DVR’s output is doing. It’s very similar to the latency you get with
IP cameras systems.
