Master Antenna Television

Master Antenna Television : An SMATV system, standing for Satellite Master Antenna Television (or Single Master Antenna Television), acts as a centralized distribution network for TV signals in multi-unit buildings like apartments, hotels, hospitals, and college dorms. It replaces the need for individual satellite dishes on each unit, offering a cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing solution.

Why is an SMATV System Required?
• Centralized Reception: A single, strategically placed antenna receives satellite and terrestrial (over-the-air) TV signals, eliminating a clutter of individual dishes.
• Cost-Effective: SMATV offers a significant cost saving compared to installing and maintaining individual satellite dishes for every unit.
• Signal Strength and Quality: A well-designed SMATV system ensures consistent and high-quality signal reception throughout the building.
• Scalability: The system can be easily scaled to accommodate additional units or future expansion.
• Aesthetics: By eliminating individual dishes, SMATV maintains a clean and uncluttered exterior for the building.

Building Blocks of an SMATV System
• Master Antenna: A high-gain antenna strategically positioned to receive optimal satellite and terrestrial signals.
• Low Noise Amplifier (LNA): Amplifies weak signals received by the antenna before distribution.
• Headend: The central processing unit that processes, filters, and modulates the received signals for distribution.
• Coaxial Cables: High-quality cables carry the processed signals from the headend to individual outlets in each unit.
• Splitters and Amplifiers: Distribute and amplify signals throughout the building network to maintain signal strength.
• Set-Top Boxes (STBs): Installed at each unit, allowing residents to decode and view the available channels.

SMATV System Design Flowchart
1. Site Survey: ASDV ELV Consultant will assess the building layout, number of units, and signal reception strength.
2. System Design: The system will be designed considering the number of channels, signal types (satellite & terrestrial), and amplifications required.
3. Equipment Selection: ASDV ELV Consultant will select high-quality, cost-effective components based on the design specifications.
4. Cable Routing Planning: The optimal path for coaxial cable installation throughout the building will be determined.
5. Installation and Testing: ASDV ELV Consultant will oversee the professional installation and conduct thorough testing to ensure optimal signal quality.
6. System Handover and Training: The system will be handed over with training for building management on basic operation and maintenance.
