Video integration
The NTN CPU’s video output signal is a National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) video
signal. This signal can be integrated by connecting to straight video inputs or by first converting into
an RF signal using a video modulator, then inserting into the existing video distribution system via a
signal combiner.
RF delivery system
The Base Station transmits to and receives RF signals from, wireless keypads called Playmakers, on
a 900 MHz frequency via one antenna installed over the playing area. Participants interact with the
system using Playmakers.
A 2.4GHZ system is also in use with customer’s on specific packages and/or with specific RF delivery
