Adding gain to antenna distribution

07-07-2019, 12:46 AM

I'd like to drive LOTS of RG6 drops (i.e., 20?) without having to rewire splitters (they are highly inaccessible).

I can't locate anything mains-powered near the splitters so any power has to come via an injector(s).

So, is it better to put ALL the gain between the antenna and splitter; some gain on each drop AFTER the splitter; or a combination of the two? (Or, a multi-tiered splitter with gain between tiers?)

[This is for CATV, OTA TV & FM]

Ugreen HDMI splitter missing a pulldown resistor

by spleenharvester

Odd one I've found. This splitter likes to cut out - on my Xbox Series S the display/audio would randomly go to black for a few seconds - on my PC the monitor would flicker several times before eventually staying on. A few others have reported similar issues. Couldn't be bothered returning it for the sake of £8.

I pulled it apart and found it is driven by a Texas TS3DV642 mux/demux. There appears to be a missing pulldown resistor on the HPD line, it is just left floating. Adding a 100K pulldown to ground fixes the flickering.

(Not that this is worth the hassle for an...

VESA EVC to VGA splitter cable

by tmcw

I found this splitter cable a while back, just got a chance to look at it now, and wondering what it might have been used for. Had a bit of trouble finding out initially what it was, main block that looks like a male DVI connector, split to 2 female VGA connectors.

The main block that looks like a DVI connector is actually a VESA EVC male connector, best concise info here:

Pin 13 on the EVC connector is missing, so maybe removed for keying to some particular graphics card?

Never came...

Adding/unlocking CPU support for an HP EliteOne 800 G2 AIO

by NecroFlex

I bought a used HP EliteOne 800 G2 All in One PC, that has an i5 6500 in it with BIOS updates going into 2023. The Chipset in the AIO is a Q170, so in theory it should support 7th gen.

HP site only shows a few 6th gen supported, when i inserted an i7 7700k (dead mem. A channel, but would be good in the AIO since i can just put a single 16GB stick in there) with the newest 2.60 bios, the AIO powered on and beeped/flashed an error code for the RAM (3 long 2 short) in the first ram slot and in the other slot it powered on, restarted and then stayed on a blank screen.

I'm...

by ElkoZH

Hi everyone

i have to replace an SMD ceramic capacitor on my Sonifex Redbox RB-DHD6 (Headphone Distribution Amplifiers) that is visibly burnt. I've been looking for a technical schematic for weeks, unfortunately without success. Can anybody help me further?
Thank you in advance for your help

Low voltage very high current rails distribution

by harp

Low voltage very high current rail distribution

I have some mains toroid transformer220v/12v, and thinking to add a few one-two turns fat coil in parallel, like in picture. Red are working windings, purple (top and bottom) is rails who connect all low voltage windings.

Question is, how to connect that device to be as much more efficient in spot welder operation to distribute and pulls currents to all winding equaly, minimalize voltage drop?

output on half E-F
output on C-B
connect A-B and C-D, output on A-F
otherwise?...
