CPDM-1
Digital
Modulator
Converts the access system’s
camera video signal to a
UHF or CATV channel television signal
Installation Instructions
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Model CPDM-1 Digital Modulator converts any baseband
NTSC video and audio signal to a selected UHF or Ultraband
CATV channel. A quartz crystal reference oscillator and PLL
circuitry ensure drift-free performance.
The modulator can be used to convert video signals from
Linear’s access control systems to UHF or CATV signals that
can be viewed on a standard television set at the installation.
The output channel number is selected using the PROGRAM
button. A television connected to the modulator’s output
will receive the signal when the television is tuned to the
modulator’s programmed channel.
NOTE: Linear’s access control systems can provide video
signals for the modulator from the system’s camera. Audio
signals from the system’s camera are NOT available.

(DISAPPEARS WHEN YOU REMOVE THE MODULATOR)
NO COLOR ON MODULATOR CHANNEL
Verify that the video source is on and is producing a video signal. Check that the TV and
the modulator are tuned to the same channel. For example, if the modulator is
broadcasting on UHF channel 16, make sure the TV is on UHF 16 rather than CATV 16.
UHF 16 and CATV 16 are at different frequencies.
If the TV has a separate UHF input, be sure that it is connected.
You may have chosen a channel number that is not completely vacant. Distant UHF
stations may be un-watchable, but will cause interference if you try to create a new
channel at the same frequency. Also, cable companies often have extra signals where
there should be none. Try moving the modulator channel to another number. You may
have to add a low pass filter to remove cable company noise.
The high output of the modulator can overdrive many RF amplifiers. Reduce the RF
output using an attentuator.
You may have chosen the incorrect cable standard. Not all televisions can accomodate
the 1.25 MHz frequency difference between H and I cable standards. See the next step.
CHANGING MODULATION STANDARDS
Most cable services use IRC frequency assignments. This is the default
setting for the modulator. However, if the cable service uses HRC or the
TV appears to search for the "house channels", the modulator can be
reprogrammed to use HRC assignments.
