FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
This modulator is designed for operation in NTSC-M
systems. An RF antenna input is provided by an F
Female connector and the combined RF output is provided on an F connector. The antenna input signals

RF Modulator
appear on the RF output when the modulator portion is
not operatin g, allowing for transp arent operati on with
other household video ap pliances. When the m odulator is in use, the modulated signal is seen at output and
the antenna input spectrum is suppressed.
A tuner-out port is included in the VT5F9MN0007 as
this unit is intended for applications where a local tuner
capability is desired, such as in a combine VCR product. The tuner-out port is a sample of the antenna input
spectrum and is always active. The modulator may also
be used in satellite television applications. The out put
channel may be selected be tween NTSC c hannels 3
and 4, as designated in North America. The modulator
operates from a +5 V source.
