MDU Training program
Multiple Dwelling Units (MDU) is a segment of the Business that DirecTV® is looking to
grow aggressively during 2009. It represents nearly 30 million homes in the United States.
It is also a market that is virtually untouched. We at Perfect-10 are going to be the most aggressive Distributor in the United States to attack this market and grow it for DirecTV®.
Here is what we will need to do to successfully grow this segment of the business.
Qualify your Dealer (System Operator (SO))
Not everyone is qualified to sell, design, build, and maintain a MDU property. It requires a good business sense, considerable technical skill, and
operating capital. You will need to know the following things about your
dealer:
Is he a Key System Operator (KSO) or a System Operator (SO) A KSO
is a operator that has a direct account with DirecTV. They typically
will just purchase equipment from us.
A SO is a operator that
works through a MSO (Master System Operator) for MDU such as
Multiband, North American Cable Equipment, or PDI. If he is not a
Key System Operator or does not work through a MSO such as Multiband, we need to get them registered with Multiband if he wants
to get the benefits of ongoing residuals.
If he is a SO under which MSO is he registered
Does he run a successful business now
Is he SBCA certified to Level 3 or Master Technician
Does he own a Birdog USB Plus or similar Meter
Does he own a CATV Meter that can read digital off-air signals
Is he financially capable of purchasing the equipment to tackle the installation of a MDU
2
Qualify the Property
You will need to find out a few things about the property to determine what the capital investment will be and the return on investment.
A Site Survey Form will need to be filled out
The decision whether to use MFH2 or MFH3 technology needs
to be made. If the property is 250 units or more would
MFH3 be a better choice of technology.
Will the dealer need assistance in design and engineering
At that point we can assemble a preliminary Bill of Materials
(BOM)
Is the property Exclusive DirecTV® or Non-exclusive. Will the
property be shared with a Cable Company or Exclusively
DirecTV®
Is a Right of Entry (ROE) agreement in place and signed
Is the Dealer going to operate the system or just install it for
the owner
3
Registering the Property
If the SO is not registered with a MSO he will need to contact
Multiband to become a SO for them and then register the
property with them.
The SO will then need to obtain from Multiband a Property ID

LNBF
The LNBF (Low Noise Blocked Feedhorn) receives the signals reflected from the dish
and sends them down 4 trunkline cables for a central distribution system. It receives
the 99, 101, 103, 110 and 119 Satellite. The 99 and 103 satellites are KA band and
the 101, 110, and 119 satellites are KU band. The KA band satellites are downconverted to the following frequencies: “A” side-1650 to 2150 MHz. “B” side-250 to 750
MHz. The KU satellites, 101, 110, and 119 are downconverted to 950-1450 MHz.

Flow Chart from Dish to
Power Inserter
Maximum distance from
the dish to the power inserter on RG 6 is 200 feet.
You can gain an additional 100 feet if you use
RG 11 cable between the
dish and power inserter.
Do not use RG 11 cable
on your risers, only between the dish and the
power inserter.
23
Flow Chart Adding a SA-6AL
On many occasions it is necessary
to amplify the satellite signals to
start our trunk system. If the cable run from the dish to the power
inserter is over 150’ you can add
a SA-6AL amplifier to bring the
signal levels back up where we
need them to start our distribution. You do not want to hit the
SA-6AL amplifier with more than
–45 dBm of signal. If you hit it
with more than that you can overload the amplifier and corrupt
your digital data from DirecTV.
From the SA-6AL amplifier we
can now go to our first tap or
chassis.
24
Trunkline Taps
The taps allow us to siphon off satellite signal from the trunk line to feed SWM Chassis, SWM expanders,
or just the SWM’s. The MST series taps are zero loss taps so receive power from the SWM chassis or expanders. The Holland taps are specified values of loss of 6, 9, 12, and 16 db through the tap port. You
would use anywhere from 4 to 6 of the taps at each lock box depending on how many trunk lines you are
running. When you use the MST-771 or MST-774 you would cascade them 3 deep before you need to add
amplification. If you are using the Holland single port tap for each satellite polarity you will insert a amplifier as needed, typically after every 4th set of taps.
The MST-771 allows for a single tap off of the trunk line with a 0dB through loss. You can feed a single
FMC-6 chassis or a SWM module directly. The MST-774 allows for 4 tap off points at that location. You
could feed 4 FMC-6 chassis or 4 SWM modules directly. The idea behind the single port tap from Holland
is allowing you to tap off signal without having a active device. The MST series taps are active devices
requiring power. The single port tap does not require power. You need one tap for each satellite polarity.

Headend Diagram
This drawing gives a good example of a simple headend closet. We
have added the local off-air signals as well. The PFA-6600 is a offair signal equalizer. It is a good piece to install if you are feeding
local channels directly into the system.
27
First Distribution Closet
Notice here we come off of the multi-satellite tap into the
first FMC-6 chassis. We have also cascaded from the first
chassis to a second chassis. This allows us to install 12
SWM’s which can handle up to 96 tuners. You can cascade
up to three FMC-6 chassis, one to the other.

Fiber For MFH2
The DirecTV approved equipment to transmit MFH2 on fiber is manufactured by Foxcom in Israel. Foxcom has developed a number of solutions for deploying a fiber backbone for MFH2. All of the fiber equipment works on single mode fiber. An easy way
to determine what kind of fiber is used in the plant is to look at the color of the jacket
around each fiber. If it is single mode fiber it is encased in a yellow jacket. Foxcom
transmitters and receivers have been developed for different scenarios. We can deliver
each satellite polarity on a separate fiber using 6 fibers for 5 satellite polarities and
CATV. It would require 6 individual transmitters and a receiver with 6 fiber inputs and
6 coax outputs. We also have a technology where we can put all of the satellite polarities on one fiber. It is called CWDM or Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing. What that
allows you to do is put 5 different polarities transmitted on 5 different light frequencies
muxed together onto one fiber. The receiver has one fiber input with a demux built in
to bring it back to the 5 original satellite polarities. If you are combining internet or a
CATV system you can use a separate transmitter and fiber and keep it apart from the Lband (satellite signals). Our third choice is to again use CWDM technology putting all
5 satellite polarities along with the CATV signals on one fiber going downstream using
6 different light frequencies and then using a 7th light frequency to send the upstream
data signal back to the headend. In this scenario we literally have light signals going in
both directions on one fiber just like you do with RF signals on coax. The light frequencies are measured in nanometers just like coax signals are measured in megahertz.
The typical frequencies we use for satellite signals going downstream are 1510nm,
1530nm, 1570nm, 1590nm, and 1610nm. We use 1550nm for the CATV upstream and
1310nm for CATV downstream signals. The beauty of fiber is we can insert the L-band
and CATV signals into a fiber transmitter and send up to 1 Kilometer with nearly 0 loss
of signal.
37
Fiber For MFH2
This diagram relates how we can incorporate the signals off of the 99,
101, 103, 110, 119, and 95 satellites and transmit using 5 L-Band transmitters. We also add the CATV transmitter with Return Path at a different frequency. Each fiber receiver has 6 inputs fiber and 6 outputs
coax.
38
Fiber For MFH2
This diagram shows how you can put all of the same satellite polarities and
CATV on a single fiber using different frequency transmitters. We combine
the 6 transmitters using a CWDM (coarse wave division multiplexer) down to
one fiber and transmit out to our fiber receivers. The CWDM receiver has a
single fiber input and 6 coax outputs and 1 coax input for the return path signals. This is a cost effective way of doing fiber as it cuts down on the number of pieces of equipment and there is less fiber splicing in the field.

MFH3
MFH3 is an exciting new IPTV (internet protocol television) distribution technology for
the MDU and Commercial marketplace. The MFH3 IP Distribution Technology (IDT)
enables delivery of all DirecTV programming and service using existing in-building
wiring infrastructure such as CAT5e, Fiber, CAT3, and Coaxial cable. This system supports all current and planned future satellite services offered by DirecTV.
The central element in the system is the MFH3 Gateway technology, which converts
DirecTV signals into industry standard IP video packets, for delivery to IP-enabled
DirecTV receivers. The Gateways support expansion as DirecTV adds new satellites
and transponders. Local content can also be inserted as well as combining voice and
data services. A MFH3 system supports up to 1000 receivers, contains remote management capabilities using standard SNMP management tools, including software upgrades.
It also has Network Security enhancements to detect network tampering and theft of service.
43
MFH3 Deployment Elements
A deployment of the MFH3 System will consist of the following elements:
•
•
•
•
DirecTV Multisat ODU (Outdoor Unit) and associated L-band RF Processing for
KU and Ka-band satellite reception
DirecTV IP Distribution Satellite Gateway (s) (e.g. Headend equipment)
The Building Network (including Building Network Interface components and
commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) distribution infrastructure)
IP-enabled Receiver (e. g .DirecTV IP Receiver) in the customer dwelling
The MFH3 system can most easily be broken down into three functional components
1. Gateway(s) consisting of multiple satellite turners
2. IP Video Switches (located in MDF (master distribution facility) and IDF ( intermediate distribution facility) closets)
3. IP-enabled DirecTv receivers with IP signaling capability
The Gateway’s satellite tuners are capable of tuning to every DirecTV transponder
simultaneously. Every piece of DirecTV broadcast data can be received and sent to
the main IP Video Switch, typically located in the Master Distribution Facility
(MDF).
Much of the system complexity is associated with the Gateway Component of the
MFH3 system. The gateway talks to each receiver and selects only the program
components that are needed for distribution to that receiver.
The DirecTV receiver for MFH3 is identical, in terms of hardware, to the singlefamily version. The difference is that the software in the receiver for MFH3 knows
how to communicate with the Gateway. The MFH3 receiver will NOT work with
an RF input, even though the satellite tuner connector is still present on the device.
