Teldis Digital Cluster Leveller for Limavady xmtr (TDCL/02)
Description
The Digital Cluster Leveller (DCL) is a device that has been designed for the simultaneous filtering and level control of digital and analogue terrestrial television services. The filters very effectively remove the spurious outputs generated by the set top box modulators. Each unit has up to six filter paths that are individually tuned to pass single or groups (clusters) of channels and to give as much rejection as possible to unwanted portions of the RF spectrum. Inherent insertion loss is low, between 3 - 4 dB. The DCL digital cluster levellers deal with channels in small groups carefully selected to suit the local transmitter. Although the DCL does not give individual control of each channel or multiplex, for most small system applications the level of adjustment that can be applied is more than adequate.
I am assuming this device is usually installed just after a rack of DTV units in a set of flats, but I have seen at least three this week in buildings where there is simply an aerial, and high gain amplifier distributing to a block of flats. What purpose would this serve ?
Am I missing something ?
