  • Allows equipment with SCART or phono outputs to plug in to a TV or aerial socket
  • Direct channel selection
  • Wideband - TV channels 21 to 69
  • Aerial loop-through
  • SCART and phono inputs
  • No loss in quality!
  • Ideal for DVDs, digital TV boxes and CCTV cameras without RF/aerial sockets and for TVs without a Scart socket
  • Mains powered
  • Tough metal housing

This easy set-up SLx RF Modulator allows the signal from a VCR / DVD player, camcorder, CCTV camera or other device with an AV only output to be viewed on an ordinary TV without a SCART or Phono input. Alternatively it can be used where a TV has only one SCART socket and if you wish, to view two SCART equipped devices. Please note, there are no fixings included

If your TV does not have a SCART socket then this is for you. Connect any composite video device, such as a CCTV camera or camcorder to the aerial socket of a TV. This versatile modulator allows you to select the RF channel with simple DIP switches. Composite video and stereo audio inputs are via phono (RCA) sockets or the SCART socket. An RF input is provided as well as an output, allowing loop-through connection, so that the output of this modulator can be added into an existing aerial distribution network. The full range of available channels means that multiple modulators can be ‘daisy-chained’ and also avoids conflict with existing broadcast channels (including Channel 5) and other domestic equipment (VCR, Sky, DVD etc). An additional ‘brightness’ control allows the video input level to be adjusted. This modulator is mains-powered and housed in a sturdy metal case.

RF channels: CH21 - CH69
RF output: 471.25MHz - 855.25MHz (UHF)

This is an excellent little product with a whole range of practical uses. Put simple is allows you to connect anything with a scart or RCA output to any TV in the house. Besides that, it really does come in handy for showing a CCTV camera on different TV's. Also a little note, I as many others have lost the book to the modulator, and recently I purchased another modulator to add to my current collection of them in use. Following this, I have made a nice little single page userguide in the hope it helps others out who may have lost their original book. Editors note: External link removed. Copies of the intructions for this item can be requested directly via our technical support department (contact details for them can be found via the "contact us" section of our website)
