Overview

The main installation and configuration steps for a Real Freedom Fiber Antenna Extender are as follows:

Optionally, pole mount the base and remote units.
Connect a Real Freedom Downconverter to the remote unit.
To remotely control up to six Real Freedom Camera Back Transmitters and to provide camera control of most brands of broadcast camera, connect a Real Freedom Data Transmitter to one of the downconverters.
Connect the base unit to the remote unit using a fiber cable.
Connect the RF outputs from the base unit to a Real Freedom Receiver either directly or via an active UHF splitter.
From the receiver, monitor fiber optic signal levels, voltages, and currents of connected equipment, which can help to alert you when RF performance is affected. If RF levels are low, use the receiver to introduces extra gain into the system.
