Features & Specifications If it is desired to connect a video signal originating from a camera or other video source to a normal TV set, you will need this modulator. The audio and video signal is converted into a UHF TV signal so that the signal can be received through the TV antenna input.

Assembly hints 1. Assembly (Skipping this can lead to troubles ! ) Ok, so we have your attention. These hints will help you to make this project successful. Read them carefully. 1.1 Make sure you have the right tools: • A good quality soldering iron (25-40W) with a small tip.

Construction 17. High frequency transistor 18. Fitting inside the housing T4 : BFR90 Attach the sticker giving the connection information to the back of the housing. Mount the 3 threaded rods on the bottom of the housing, together with a tooth lock washer and M3 countersunk-head bolts (see figure 8.0).

Test and setup 19. Test and setup Preparation: Set trimmer potentiometers RV1 (audio) and RV2 (video) to a maximum (completely clockwise). Set the frequency trimmer capacitor, CV1, to the middle of its range. Carefully turn the core of L4 completely down using a suitable screwdriver. Put the housing cover into place.

Test and setup Adjusting the picture: Set the TV set to "search" on the UHF band until a clear picture is obtained. If a clear picture cannot be obtained then try turning the trimmer capacitor to a different setting (turn 1 to 2 mm per test). "Expand"...

Test and setup The modulation of the video signal can be further adjusted using trimmer potentiometer RV2. NOTE: The above instructions for setting the received picture are only guidelines. A little experimentation with the setting of the frequency capacitor, CV1, and also variations in inductor L2 and potentiometer RV2 can greatly improve the picture quality.
