Is anyone distributing hi-res (540tvl) CCTV video out over CATV? I have an existing installation of hi-res CCTV cameras (540tvl NTSC output) and would like to distribute the video over CATV channels to standard TVs throught the building. Each camera would be modulated onto a different CATV channel. Can I use a standard RF modulator (e.g. the ChannelPlus 54x5 series of RF modulatiors)? Will the ChannelPlus be able to handle the 540tvl output cameras? If not is there any equipment that will do this for me? Thanks, Larry

Thanks. I was having some problems with the ChannelPlus. It seems that unless the baseband video in is live when you select a channel on the unit it transmits a black screen. Resetting the channel after making sure the video in was live did the track. Quality is pretty good. I set up two monitors side-by-side, one displaying the hi-res video output directly and the other the modulated feed for comparison and you really can't tell the difference. We'll see how it looks once it runs out over the real cabling and distributions amps but the wiring is all pretty new good quality RG-6 so I'm hoping it stays clean. Larry
