This ChannelPlus model 3515 video distribution system contains a digitally-tuned
video modulator that converts any baseband video and audio signal to a user-
selected UHF, or Ultraband CATV channel. An internal quartz crystal reference
oscillator and PLL circuitry ensure drift-free performance. The user selects the
output frequency (channel) using the "program" button to enter the number of the
desired channel. Optionally, the model 3515 may be programmed by a computer
running Windows 95. Any TV connected to the output via coax can receive the
signals, when the TV is tuned to the proper channel.
