Crestron MM-DS-12 MediaManifold CATV Distribution System
12-zone CATV distribution system
MediaManifold CATV Distribution System: MM-DS-12

Introduction

The Crestron® MediaManifold® MM-DS-12 is a 12-zone bidirectional CATV distribution amplifier featuri ng individual gain and tilt adjust ment on every o utput. The MM-DS-12 integrates all of the elements of a complete professiona l he adend into a single compact module. High power and headroom combine with low noise and distortion to deliver exceptional performance for distributing both analog and digital cable TV signals.*

Features and Functions

Expandable from 24 to 576 zones
High-power, high-headroom, low-noise, and low-distortion
Supports bidirectional cable runs up to 300 feet (91 meters) each
Individual gain and tilt a djustments per zone
Automatic setup using M M-HTDR Cable Analyzer
Built-in cable modem output and modulator input
Compact surface wall-mount design
Simplicity without Compromise
Designing and installing a high-perfor mance residential or small commercial cable TV system is easy with the MM-DS-12. The MM-DS-12 eliminates the numerous splitters, combiners, amplifiers, and cables that make up an ordinary distrib ution system, rep lacing the m all with a single, compact surface-mount module. Each of its 12 zone outputs supports up to 300 feet (91 meters) of homerun RG6 coaxial cable feeding a single television or set-top box. An additional output is provided for cable modem and digital phone, and an external modulator can also be connected to enable signals from security cameras and other video sources to be combined and distributed along with the main cable TV channels.
* Not compatible with systems utilizing a MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) based media service
such as Veri zo n FiOS

Automatic Adjustment
Compared to conventional CATV distribution amps, MediaManifold offers much greater capability for proper adjustment, providing independent gain and tilt settings for every zone. Adjusting these settings is extremely easy with MediaManifold. Simply by entering the cable length for each zone, the MM-DS-12 sets the optimum gain and tilt settings automatically.
Determining the cable lengths is also very simple using the optional MM-HTDR Cable Analyzer.* The MM-HTDR employs st a t e-of-the-art "time domain reflectometry" to determine the length and integrity of each RG6 cable run. At the press of a button, the MM-HTDR analyzes the cable and transfers the length measurement to the MM-DS-12, setting the appropriate gain and tilt values automatically.
Easy Expansion
Adding the MM-DE-12 MediaManifold Expander* provides 12 additional output zones. Housed in an identical compact module, the MM-DE-12 connects to the MM-DS-12 using three “F” cables, supporting 24 zones total with automatic gain and tilt adjustment for every zone output. Additional zones can be achieved by cascading any zone connection to a second MediaManifold system, enabling complete systems of over 500 zones.

Theory

Original Signal
The originating signal from the local cable o perator is a mostly flat signal at approximately 0 dBmV as shown in the following diagram.

Cable Drop
When using longer length cable runs, the overal l signal strength drops while the signal strength at the higher frequencies has a greater decrease as shown in the following diagram.

Setting the Cable Length
Setting the cable length on the MM-DS-12 lowers the signal strength of the low-end frequencie s to the level of the high-end frequencies (tilt) and raises the signal strength (gain) to match the original input signal. Refer to the following diagrams.

Connect the Device
The MM-DS-12 should be used in a well-ventilated area. The venting holes should not be obstructed under any circumstances.
To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds the environmental temperature ra nge listed in the table of specifications. Consideration must be given if installed in a close d or multi-unit rack assembly since the operating ambient temperature of the environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Contact with thermal insulating materials should be avoided on all sides
Make the necessary connections as called out in the illustration that follows this
When making connections to the MM-DS-12, consider the following:
Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
Do not use any splitters to connect the cab le line to the CABLE SYSTEM
INPUT port of the MM-DS-12. NOTE: The MM-DS-12 incorporates a high quality, passive data-grade
splitter designed for use in a calib rated system. The internal splitter maintains a flat, 0 db feed to the system to keep the signal pure, while providing a pass-through feed for a local cable modem. In order to deliver pure, calibrated signals through the MediaManifold distribution system, no splitters of any kind should be used before the MM-DS-12 system.
