SMATV/MATV stands for Satellite/Master Antenna Television, a system which allows many houses, motels, hotels, schools, rest house,retirement villages, hospitals or other multi-unit buildings to distribute VHF/UHF, IF and FM signals to a number of receivers. In order to accomplish this without a loss of signal quality, these systems must be carefully planned and engineered through the effective use of SMATV/MATV equipment and techniques.

The SMATV/MATV System consists of :

• HEAD END  ( master antena, signal processing components,distribution amplifier)

• DISTRIBUTION NETWORK ( professional grade cabling and distribution components such as tap splitters)

A SMATV/MATV system can also combine a variety of video media sources at a “head-end” facility and distribute the signal in the entire network. Video media sources could be provided by the VHF/UHF antenna, satellite dishes, VCR, DVD, PPV TV Systems, broadband connections or any other AV device.
