Channel Vision CVT-2/8WB / C-0333 — 8-Output Amplified Splitter Instructions

Instruction manual for the Channel Vision CVT-2/8WB and C-0333 — 8-output amplified splitters with a built-in combiner for modulated signals, designed for standard and wide-band CATV distribution systems.

Overview

The CVT-2/8WB and C-0333 are 8-output amplified splitters with a built-in combiner for modulated signals. They allow IR signals to pass through the modulator input to the TV outputs, making them a perfect match for Channel Vision's E2200IR, E3200IR, or E4200IR IR distribution systems. The CVT-2/8WB mounts directly on any flat surface, while the C-0333 snaps directly into a structured wiring enclosure.

Features

• 8 amplified outputs: 4.5dB gain
• Amplified return path from 5–42MHz
• Compatible with Advanced Wide Bandwidth Digital CATV systems
• Supports 1 modulator input
• Allows IR pass-through on the modulator input port
• Easy installation

Connections

• MOD IN — connect the modulator here
• CABLE IN — connect the antenna or cable service feed here
• TV OUTPUTS (1-8) — connect TVs here
• POWER IN — connect the included 12VDC, 500mA power supply here

Gain — Forward Path (54-860MHz): +4.5dB, (975-1525MHz): Passive. Reverse Path (5-42MHz): Unity.

Includes: power supply (12VDC, 500mA) and 75-ohm terminators for unused outputs.

Basic Amplified Splitter Application

Connect the CVT-2/8WB as shown in the manual and locate it at the main distribution point in the house. It will supply the amplified TV signal to up to 8 TV locations. Terminate any unused outputs with the included 75-ohm terminators.

Large System / Cascaded Application

The CVT-2/8WB can be cascaded for systems requiring more than 8 outputs. Each of the 8 outputs of a CVT-2/8WB can feed the input of an additional CVT-2/8WB, creating a system with up to 64 TV outputs using a total of 9 units (1 master + 8 slave units). For runs of 150 ft or less, use one of the Master outputs; for runs between 150-250 ft, use one of the Slave outputs.

Cascaded Application with IR Control

The IR engine built into the E2200IR, E3200IR, and E4200IR can support up to 8 TV locations with IR receivers. Any TV location that does not have an IR receiver needs to be DC-blocked using model 3109.

Using with the Affinity (P-0321)

The CVT-2/8WB can be integrated with the P-0321 to send modulated signals through a system that has some TVs with digital cable boxes and some without. An RF filter removes digital content for TVs without digital boxes, allowing modulated channels to be inserted without interference. The P-0321 preserves digital content for locations that do have digital boxes. See the P-0321 (Affinity) installation manual for further details.
