In multi-source, non-video distribution systems such as
the CAi or A-BUS, the SMS3’s three streams are con-
figured as three sources. To distribute the video sig-
nal, an RF modulator and RF distribution amplifier may
be used as an alternate means of distributing video to
each room in the system.

The composite video out of the SMS3 is supplied to
an RF modulator to convert the signal to a specific
channel which the television tuners throughout the
home can receive, just like a TV station. An RF distribu-
tion amplifier will accept the RF modulator’s output,
amplify and distribute it to multiple outputs that can be
wired to each television through a coaxial cable such
as RG6. The television will need to be tuned to the
channel that the RF modulator is set for in order to
see the composite video signal output of the SMS3.

CAi Installation with RF Modulator
1. Using the three RCA cables, connect the SMS3
three source outputs to the controller amplifier source
inputs. 
2. Using the IR link cable, connect the controller ampli-
fier’s IR emitter port to the SMS3 IR in port.
3. Using a straight-through Ethernet RJ-45 CAT-5 patch
cable, connect from the SMS3 LAN port to an open
port on the network router. 
4. Using a composite video cable, connect the SMS3
composite video port to the RF modulator video input. 
5. Using coaxial cable (RG6), connect the RF modula-
tor’s video output to the RF distribution amplifier modu-
lator input. 
6. Using coaxial cable (RG6), connect the RF distribu-
tion amplifier modulator’s TV output to the television’s
cable/antenna input.
