Modulus repairs

[Dan Coplan]

Jeff,

 

Since you've tested all three at the same time, perhaps you can give us a more detailed description of the pros and cons of each.

 

I have a Titan as well as a transmitter similar to the Modulus. To run both, I take a 2nd video output from the Titan and run that into my broadcast transmitter. Is that how you do it?

Hmmm, I thought I was trying to head off others from preaching to you. Oh well. No biggie.

 

Dear Charles,

 

I appreciate the thought, and your generous habit of supplying good advice on this forum.

Hi Dan, as I have mentioned, each unit performs great in different environments, I can?t really say which is better or worse. I will say that it seems to be very helpful to have a choice on set, when one frequency fails, chances are the other type will do the job. Here are the basic pros/cons from my standpoint:

 

Canatrans:

Pros:

1. Great features! mainly, vari power output.

2. Clean transmission, overall very good broadcaster (arguably the best UHF available)

 

Cons:

1. Price

2. Size and weight.

 

Modulus:

Pros:

1. Size and weight.

2. Price, if you already have one (no longer available new).

3. Pretty good transmission.

 

Cons:

1. They get pretty hot (temperature).

2. Not all created equal, some seem to perform better then others. Some inconsistencies in there manufacturing.

 

Titan:

Pros:

1. Weight.

2. Color and picture transmission is great, at times the best of all 3.

3. Reasonably priced.

 

Cons:

1. This requires a dedicated titan receiver, won?t broadcast to clamshells with tuners.

2. Performs best with a clean line of sight.

3. Susceptible to some interference from some wifi and cordless phones.

 

Hope this helps, again, there is no perfect system, they all need a back up and they all are totally reliant on a good receiving position and setup. I have seen each unit fail at one time or another. It?s RF.

 

Happy transmitting,

Jeff
