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.

HERRINGBONE INTERFERENCE ON MANY CHANNELS
(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.
