MATV system balancing

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I work in a large venue which has close to 1000 TV's. Last year we upgrade most of the tubes to LCD's. We also updated the satellite system to receive Directv HD using a Com1000 unit plus integrated the local cable feed SD and HD. With the cable providers assistance I went to each amp and balanced the rf signal through-out the building. I need to add 16-20 new TV's onto the system how will this affect the balancing and how do I determine what size taps would I need to install. I have 4 different levels I need to install these tv's 4 per level 2 per level off of the north vertical trunk and 2 per level off the south vertical trunk. Both trunks are fed off separate amps at the head end. Any thoughts!

You probably should make us a drawing of what you already have.
You might need a few more posts before you can attach one, though.

Cable type and approximate lengths, tap types and values, and a rough idea of what frequencies you are using (highest and lowest) would help.

Add to that list what type of amplifier you are using with input and output levels being used. There is a fine line with good gain C/N and too much CSO/CTB involved in some different amplifier makes and models.

I'll come up with some kind of drawing. All equipment (taps,amps,splitters etc.) is Blonder Tongue. I'll get the specifics from the amps. As for type of cable I plan on using is the building standard RG-6 quad shielded. The longest run being less than 150' to the easiest access to the trunk cable.
