INTEGRATED RECEPTION SYSTEMS (IRS)
CCTV Aerial Services are able to carryout Communal Aerial and Satellite IRS System installations.
What is an IRS?
An integrated reception system (IRS) provides broadcast signals from multiple sources (typically terrestrial television, FM radio, DAB digital radio and satellite TV) to multiple outlets, via a single aerial cluster and signal booster-distributor. The most obvious use for such a system is in communal housing blocks, where one aerial cluster can replace many aerials serving individual dwellings (e.g. flats or apartments). The predecessor to IRS was MATV- master aerial television, which provided communal housing with terrestrial TV signals only.
Benefits of IRS:
- Fully compliant with Digital TV
- Very flexible for the end user
- Very Cost effective
- Responsibility of initial signals only by landlord
- Tenants to chose themselves whether they wish to subscribe to the services
Requirements for an IRS
IRS Systems require the aerials and dishes in a suitable location for optimum signal. From there, 5 cables are run from the roof and into the best position centrally to be able to install amplifiers, equalisers and multi switches. If you also require satellite reception from another satellite, then you will need to run 9 cables down from the roof, to this central position.
From this central position, if the system is not to be Sky Plus or Sky HD compatible, then you run just one cable to each required position. If Sky Plus or Sky HD is required, then you will need 2 cables to each position.

Conclusion
One of the most important aspects and most advantageous aspects of an IRS system is the planning.
It is important to find out whether there is going to be a requirement for Sky HD and Sky Plus and if the tenants require reception from any other satellite.
