Introduction
Traditionally a facility pays for dozens or hundreds of cable/satellite channels but only has a small number of set-top-boxes, each
locked on a single channel, and combined onto the cable plant. When a patient wants to view a channel that isn’t on the cable plant,
the nurse must go to the head end and change one of the receivers or tell the patient the channel is not available. To provide the full
channel package to each patient, the set-top-box may be placed next to each TV in the patient area. Unfortunately, when the IR remote
is used by one patient to change channels, any TV nearby will also change.
The PDi Interface Module is designed to improve the patient experience interacting with a TV at a facility in which the channels come
from a cable/satellite set-top-box. It allows direct access to all set-top-box functions via PDi TV keypad, IR remote, and pillow speaker.
It gives patients access to every channel the facility is paying for and allows patients to easily switch between cable/satellite, in-house
DVD, and rooftop antenna channels. The interface module can pay for itself by eliminating modulators, splitters, and combiners in
most environments. It removes the need to modulate signals for distribution by sending HDMI from each set-top-box directly to an
associated TV. It offers customizable key mapping and works in many retrofit installations. Best of all it’s made in America!
Compatibility
The PDi interface module uses HDBase-T technology to bring uncompressed HDMI signals from the set top box at the head-end to the
TV. It also forms a communication bridge between the PDi TV and set top box.
As of this print, the following set-top-boxes have been tested to work with the PDi interface module. Contact PDi for compatibility
with other models.

When it is more desirable to have the set-top-box and interface module located near the TV, the module may be used in a stand-alone
configuration without the need for a mini-mod chassis. In this case the PDi PD106-747 power adapter (not included) should be used
to power the interface module. Since the interface module uses very little energy, it has no special ventilation requirements. A
DirectTV set-top-box can power the mini-mod in place of the rack mount chassis power supply.
Connections
The PD295-004 BELLA interface module connects to the TV via standard CAT6a cable. CAT6a provides a higher bandwidth needed for
the HDMI video signal and the length should not exceed 250 feet. BELLA must be powered via the rack mounted chassis, a standalone
power adapter, or via a USB power connection. The IR Emitter cable must also be connected to the module and adhered to the IR
window of the corresponding set-top-box. CAT6a, HDMI and power cables are not provided with the Bella.
Wall Mounted Televisions
Wall Mounted TV – Data, Power, and IR Emitter Cable Installation
1. Connect 26 pin connector of cable PD106-981 to the TV’s 26 pin connector and the other end to the CCI connector on the BELLA
CCI port as shown below.
2. Connect an HMDI cable between the BELLA interface box and the TV.
3. Connect the CAT6a cable to the RJ45 port on the PD295-004 interface module.
4. Remove adhesive backer from the module and secure it to the rear of the TV.
5. For rack mounted interface module, connect rack minimod power cable to PD295-004. For stand-alone mounting, connect power
cord PD106-747 to PD295-004.

Wall Mounted TV - RF Cable Installation
The RF Output Signal cable from each set-top-box (STB) must also be routed to each remotely located television. Please refer to the
STB installation instructions for details.
Arm Mounted Televisions
The PD295-004 interface module is also compatible with several of the PDi Arm Mounted televisions that incorporate a BELLA
interface. Models such as the medTV and medTAB can be used successfully with the interface module when ordered with the BELLA
option.
NOTE: Each TV and its Support Arm must be pre-wired with a CAT6a data cable. Please contact PDi Communication
Systems or your PDi distributor for assistance should your TV and/or Arm lack this cable.
Arm Mounted TV – Data, Power, and IR Emitter Cable Installation
The CAT6a cable used to connect the remotely located TV to the interface module should not exceed 250 feet in length. CAT6a, HDMI
and power cables are not provided with the interface module.
1. Connect one end of the CAT6a cable to the Data Cable from the Arm/TV. The in-room Data Connection is typically wall mounted as
illustrated below.
2. Connect the other end of the CAT6a cable to the RJ45 port on the front of the PD295-004 interface module.
3. If using a DirecTV set top box, connect the USB cable to the PD295-004. No other power supply is needed.
4. Connect the IR Emitter cable to the interface module if used (see note below).
5. Remove adhesive backer from IR Emitter and secure it to the IR receiver window of the STB.
6. For a chassis mounted interface module, connect chassis power cable to PD295-004. For stand-alone mounting, connect power

Arm Mounted TV - RF Cable Installation
Unlike AC powered wall mounted TV’s, PDi arm mounted television models receive their RF signal and TV power combined along a
connecting coax cable from an external power source. Special consideration must be used in handling the low voltage AC power found
on the RF signal coax cable.
Two types of external power supplies are used with arm mounted televisions: individual or central style. The individual power supply
mounts near the TV injecting power from a nearby AC outlet onto the incoming coaxial cable. The central supply injects power onto 10
separate coax cables simultaneously and mounts in a wiring closet as far as 150 feet away from the TV’s. Connection of the RF signal
coax cable for each style of power supply is detailed below.
Individual Style Power Supply - RF Cable Installation
Signal connections for an arm mounted TV powered from an individual power supply requires a single coax cable no longer than 300
feet, connected at the set-top-box’s “Output to TV” connection.
Some set-top-boxes also allow for the connection of an external Antenna or other signal source via an “OFF-AIR IN” connection. Please
consult your set-top-box installation instructions for details.

NOTE: The drawing below is representative of the typical set-top-box. Your box may vary in appearance.
Central Style PDI -772HE Power Supply - RF Cable Installation
Low voltage AC TV power is present on each central power supply TV coax cable. A PDi Power Passer (part number PD167-003) is
required to route the AC power on the coax cable around any externally connected device such as the Satellite Box. A Power Passer is
required for each TV/STB connection. For new installations, the use of a PDI-772HE-IND instead of PDI-772-HE will eliminate the
need for the power passers.
NOTE: The PD167-003 Power Passer is an optional device NOT supplied with the interface module and is only required
for centrally powered arm mounted televisions. Please contact PDi or your PDi distributor to order this device.
1. Remove power from the TV at the central power
supply.
2. Connect a coaxial cable from the STB “OUT TO
TV” to the Power Passer’s “RF IN FROM
EXTERNAL DEVICE”.
3. Locate the coaxial cable from the central power
supply. Connect this cable to “FROM POWER
SUPPLY”.
4. Connect the coaxial cable from the TV to
“COMBINED SIGNAL TO TV.” The TV coax should
be limited to 150’ to accommodate the central
power supply coax length limitations.
5. Connect an Optional Secondary RF signal coaxial
cable from the Power Passer’s “RF OUT TO
EXTERNAL DEVICE” to the set-top-box “OFF-AIR
IN”. This connection is only necessary if you
wish to view TV signals that are already present
on your system in addition to set-top-box
signals.
