What Is It?
The Labgear HDU641/S is a four way aerial amplifier with multi inputs. It is designed to increase and improve FM radio, DAB radio, CCTV, VCR/DVD, satellite and terrestrial TV signals to up to 4 televisions/radios around the home from one location (e.g. loft).
How Does It Work?
The Labgear HDU641/S combines TV, FM, DAB, CCTV and satellite signals on to one down cable feeding face plates located near main AV equipment location (e.g. living room). The return cable from VCR/satellite box to loft box feeds up to 4 other viewing locations around home with AV signals.

SkyPlus and SkyHD
The Labgear HDU641/S has the LNB1 and LNB2 input and downlinks required by SkyPlus and SkyHD.
Remote Control?
The infra-red extender feature gives control over different AV sources from any viewing/listening location in conjunction with SLx Link(s). The Labgear HDU641 has an integrated digital bypass - the infra-red extender works in conjunction with Sky™. If you would like to use the extender with other devices you can, but you need to use either an Omni Link or a Bluedelta Smart Blaster to power the link and rebroadcast the remote control signals.
Anything Else?
The Labgear HDU641 has an Integrated UHF pre-amplifier and an integrated power supply. It has a LNB power indicator and silver-gray metallic finish. The Labgear HDU641 is fully screened - ideal for digital satellite. Distribution of output from a set top box, DVD or VCR requires you to send a return path UHF signal to the loft - the Labgear HDU641 has an up link in socket for this. This up link is important as when using a Labgear HDU641 distribution box, there will be no signal at the outputs unless the circuit is completed by linking the downlink output to the uplink input after the signal is passed through your satellite receiver. This is so that the satellite signal (and video signal if required) can also be distributed around the house. If you are not connecting to a satellite receiver, then you need to set the switch on the top of the Labgear HDU641 to UHF and CCTV only.
The Labgear HDU641 is often used with the SLx Link, the Global TV Link or the Bluedelta Smart Eye. See also Sky Remote Controls.
If you need F-Plugs, coaxial plugs, crimping tools or other installation accessories please see our Coaxial Accessories section.
You may also need a Triplex Face Plate. These allow 3 separate devices to be plugged into the Labgear HDU641, giving a socket for RF, a F Plug socket for Satellite TV and a FM/DAB Digital Radio socket.
