The P-0328 allows you to integrate modulated signals into a digital cable system without using an RF filter. This allows several modulated channels to be integrated with a full digital cable feed without requiring any digital programming to be filtered out.
Basic Application Connect the P-0328 as shown and locate it at the main distribution point in the house. The output of the P-0328 will send both CATV and the modulator’s output to the TV location over a single coax cable. Switching between the CATV and modulator signals is simple: just point the remote at an IR receiver connected to the coax-based IR system and the IR signal will travel back to the P-0328 and change it to the desired input.
Connecting the Digital Cable Box to the TV For best results, use a 2-way RF splitter to feed the RF inputs of the CATV box and the TV set. Then use RCA cables to connect the audio/video outputs from the CATV box to the audio/video inputs of the TV.

Using the P-0328 with the E-Series IR Modulators When connected as shown below, IR signals will pass through the P-0328 and travel back to the IR emitter outputs on the E4200IR. This allows you to utilize the built-in IR repeating system to control source components such as satellite receivers and DVD players.
Expanding the System The P-0328 comes with one IR coax adaptor which will allow viewing of both CATV and Mod at one TV location. To view both signals at more TVs, additional IR coax adaptors can be purchased; compatible models are: IR4101 or IR-4100 used with an IR-2400. If no IR coax adaptor is used, only CATV signals will be viewable. To create systems with more than 8 locations, simply split the output of the modulator and the CATV feed, then connect the outputs of the splitters to each P-0328.
Troubleshooting If your IR system is not working, check to see if the P-0328 is feeding approximately 12 Volts DC onto the coax between the shield and center pin. (Any voltage between 8-12VDC is OK). If there is no voltage between the center pin and shield, check the connectors on each end of the coax to make sure there are no shorts (no shielding touching the center conductor).
