Amplified Splitters
If you have cable, you can usually split the signal with passive splitters up to four times without noticable signal degradation. For more than a four-way split, or if you have an antenna, use an amplified splitter.
If you want also have infrared (IR) distribution:
- Choose a video distribution module with a built-in IR engine. (H838HHR/838BID/881)
- Place an IR pickup at each TV location.
- Use a modulator with built-in IR control (H542/544/562/564) on the device such as a DVD, VCR, or Satellite receiver that you wish to distribute and control. The coax out of the modulator should eventually connect to an input of the video distribution module.
- Plug one or more H973 emitters into the modulator and attach to the IR window of the device you wish to control.
H838HHR
3 In, 8 Out Video Distribution Module w/High Headroom |  |
- Distributes CATV or antenna to 8 TVs
- Two modulator inputs to add locally generated channels (such as a camera or DVD)
- High headroom amplifier
- IR repeating system using 5 volt targets
- Antenna isolation compliant with FCC part 15 requirements
- Instruction Sheet
|
| This device combines an amplifier, splitter, combiner, and an IR engine in one package. The High Headroom amplifier handles varying signal strengths better, such as a strong modulated channel and weak antenna channel. This is particularly important when trying to receive weak UHF HDTV signals. |

H838BID
3 In, 8 Out Bi-Directional Video Distribution Module |  |
- Distributes CATV or antenna to 8 TVs
- Two modulator inputs to add locally generated channels (such as a camera or DVD)
- Bi-directional with a 5-42 MHz return path
- IR repeating system using 5 volt targets
- Instruction Sheet
|
| This device combines an amplifier, splitter, combiner, and an IR engine in one package. The Bi-Directional amplifier stage allows the use of most cable-modems on any output. |

H816BID
1 In, 6 Out Video Distribution Module |  |
- Distributes CATV or antenna to 6 TVs
- Four standard outputs (up to 75 feet)
- Two long outputs (up to 150 feet)
- Bi-directional with a 5-42 MHz return path
- Can be mounted upside down
- Instruction Sheet
