CHAPTER 4: SHOWRUNNER CONSOLE

TV SOLUTION OPTIONS:

TV Solution Options for TRUE Fitness Equipment:
There are multiple options for presenting TV signal with TRUE Fitness equipment. Here are some options available to
your facility.
Set-Top Boxes:
With this solution, a small set top box must be installed near each individual piece of TRUE
cardio equipment. Your cable company would provide the set-top box. The user would change
channels with the remote control, which must be kept near the unit.
Console Adapter Box (C.A.B.) Installation:
A console adapter component redirects TV commands from a TRUE Fitness console to a set-top box
without using a remote control. With this solution, a separate component is installed onto the TRUE
Fitness console. When a user presses a channel command on the console, the device sends that command
directly to the set-top box that is sending TV signal to that machine. Users on the TRUE Fitness equipment
will use the channel buttons on the consoles as normal to select their channel.
Includes CAB, 10' IR emitter cable and necessary cables to control (STB) set top box next to cardio
equipment or far away. If STB is located far from cardio equipment, customer is responsible for installing
unused cat5 or cat6 cable from STB to cardio equipment.
• Enables cardio-console control of ANY cable or satellite set-top box. The set-top box can be located next to the cardio
equipment or remotely located, back in an A/V closet for instance.
• The CAB is small enough (3" x 1.5" x .75") that it can be hidden on the back of the TV, under the console or in a
raceway system.
• The CAB keeps the set top boxes awake so they don't go into sleep mode.
• The CAB allows you to use integrated controls to control set top boxes on popular cardio equipment brands.
• The CAB is plug-n-play and does not need to learn IR commands. Unlike some wireless devices that need to learn IR
commands in the field, the CAB is pre-programmed prior to shipping and can be easily updated onsite if required.
Satellite Head End System:
With a head end system, a rack is installed in an AV closet. A selection of set-top-boxes is
placed on the rack with each box set to a specific channel. The encrypted signal is decrypted
and set to the selected channel by each set-top box. This can be digital or analog, depending
on the set-top box used. A modulator device takes the signal from all of the boxes and
combines it into one, allowing you to send it out to every screen in the facility.
