Fitness equipment will be supplied by TRUE Fitness. All other cabling necessary to run from a TV or internet source to
the TRUE cardio product must be provided by the facility.
TV Cabling Requirements:
The following TV tuners used in the United States are compatible with TRUE Fitness touchscreen consoles:
•
NTSC (analog un-coded) old air broadcast, and un-coded cable TV
•
ATSC (digital un-coded) used in current over-the-air broadcasts, and some un-coded cable TV
•
QAM (digital cable) used in current un-coded and coded cable TV
The following signal types are supported by TRUE Fitness touchscreen consoles:
•
Digital: CQAM, ATSC, DVB-C, DVB-T,DVB-T2, ISDB-T, DMBT
•
Analog: NTSC-M, PAL-B, PAL-G, PAL-H, PAL-I, PAL-D, PAL-K, SECAM-B, SECAM-C, SECAM-D, SECAM-G,
SECAM-L, SECAM-K
•
Signal must be delivered to the equipment unencrypted
•
Coaxial cable must be a quad-shielded RG6 cable with an F-Type compression fitting
•
Digital signal strength delivered to the equipment: -5dBmV to +10dBmV with a target of +5dBmV
•
Analog signal strength delivered to the equipment: 0dBmV to +12dBmV with a target of +6dBmV
•
Splitters or taps are acceptable for distributing signal, provided that the signal strength delivered to the equipment
meets the required levels

Some cable TV companies offer a basic package that does not require a set-top box – the signal can be picked up with
any cable-ready TV. This type of service works best with TRUE Fitness touchscreen consoles as it utilizes either NTCS
or ATCS/QAM Clear. The un-coded signal lets the facility simply connect the coax cable (RG6) to the connector on the
TRUE Fitness equipment and scan for channels.
Many cable companies, as well as all satellite (DirecTV, Dish Network, etc.) and internet protocol TV (U-Verse, Verizon,
etc.) utilize an encrypted signal to their set-top box will convert the encrypted signal to either NTCS or ATCS/QAM Clear
for viewing on the customer's TV.
