How to connect Tricolor to two TVs from one receiver?

Watching TV is one of the most popular types of home holidays. But when a family is large, and each member has different tastes, the desire to watch movies or favorite shows that go on different channels at the same time can become a real stumbling block in any family. Therefore, in many houses there are several TV receivers. And often, when a satellite television package is purchased, the question arises of how to connect, configure and connect the Tricolor to two televisions from one receiver. The good news is that this is quite possible to do. Moreover, even in several ways.

The difference between switching methods

The most important difference in these methods is whether TVs will be able to broadcast the same channel simultaneously, or will the viewing be completely independent. Of course, the difference will be in the price that will have to be paid for additional equipment.

In the event that the same set of programs completely suits the whole family, you can buy:

• Additional cable of required length;
• Required connectors;
• Signal divider

Wiring

If the receiver is equipped with several connectors, and the signal is supplied to all these outputs, you can switch the second TV without problems. For the first TV, they use an antenna cable, and for the second - you will need to purchase the necessary SCART-RCA, SCART-SCART, RCA-RCA or HDMI-HDMI wires.

Important! Information about the passage of the signal is usually indicated in the technical documentation for the tuner.

Connector Connection

In order for the signal to be different, a splitter for the cable is purchased. For antenna RF cable use splitters, which have minimal attenuation. To split the signal, the Tulip, HDMI and SCART splitters are also used.

If you select HDMI, be sure to check the standard that is listed in the documentation. Using this data, the wire length is selected.

Divider

It is also possible to purchase an HDMI divider, with which the signal is distributed to the number of TV devices that is needed.

Important! You do not always want to spoil the view of the premises with extra wires. Instead, you can use the video sender. The structure of this device includes two units that are connected to a TV and tuner. Signal transmission takes place thanks to the Wi-Fi module. The signal is transmitted up to thirty meters away.

How to connect?

Before deciding how to connect the Tricolor to two televisions, you need to consider all the options. In this case, it will be necessary to assess the technical capabilities of the receiver and the television receivers themselves, calculate the cable lengths and draw up an approximate installation diagram to get the desired result.

Connection via RF cable

To connect a second TV device to the receiver, you can use a high-frequency TV wire. In this case, the RF OUT output is activated, which can be seen if you carefully consider the back panel of the device.

To make such a connection, TV wiring is used, on which the dad-mom tips are located. One end is for connecting to the receiver's output, and the other is to plug into the input jacks for the antenna on the TV device.

Important! On the device that is connected, you will need to enable automatic channel search.

Connection via RF modulator

In the latest models of satellite receivers there is no RF modulator and RF OUT output. Before you connect a second Tricolor TV receiver to 2 TVs, you need to purchase:

• Remote high-frequency modulator;
• Low frequency RCA cable;
• Coaxial TV wire 75 Ohm;
• F-connectors
• F-plugs.

To switch to the mains, the RF modulator uses its own power supply, which is included in an additional connection point of 230 V:

1. We connect the RCA cable and the connectors of the RCA outputs, which are located behind the receiver. Their colors match the colors of the wire ends.
2. We connect the second end of the wire and the RCA inputs on the RF modulator.
3. Using the F-connector, connect the TV cable to the RF OUT output.
4. The RF IN input is covered by a 75 Ω F-plug.
5. We connect the other end of the cable using the F-connector and the “IN” connector on the satellite divider.

Important! The satellite divider has more than one OUT-output, using which it is possible to split the signal from the receiver into several TV receivers.

6. Turn on the power.
7. Perform an automatic channel search.

Connection via RCA cable

How to connect Tricolor to 2 TVs yourself in this case? This option can be used if the receiver supports the ability to use multiple video outputs simultaneously.

If the first TV is switched using an HDMI cable, then the free RCA or SCART outputs are used to connect the second.

Important! To use the SCART connector for connection, use the SCART-RCA adapter. Then, on the TV device that is connected, using the remote control, the input signal is switched.

This type of connection is the most simple and economical, since there is no need to install an RF modulator. The main disadvantage is that the wire has a limited length - up to fifteen meters.
