ATSC/QAM Processor ATSC/QAM Processor

AQP (ATSC/QAM Processor) accepts one input in 8VSB (digital off-air) or QAM (digital cable) format, including the sub-band QAM input channels T7 to T13, and delivers one output in QAM format in the 54-864 MHz range. AQP can be utilized in a remote headend to “regenerate” a clean QAM channel from a degraded one. It also allows TV sets to receive digital off-air programming on CATV channel assignments by transmodulating the 8VSB broadcast to QAM. It can also be utilized in remote digital origination applications, where the QAM channel needs to be delivered to the headend via the sub-band frequencies.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Supports sub-band QAM input channels T7 to T13 for remote digital origination applications
  • Input standards supported are digital off-air (8VSB & 16VSB) and digital cable (QAM 16/32/64/128/206)
  • Agile QAM output at +55 dBmV and in the frequency range of 54-864 MHz range
  • Suitable for School security camera applications
Digital to Analog Processor Plus Broadcaster AFD Software Digital to Analog Processor Plus Broadcaster AFD Software

DAP (Digital/Analog Processor) accepts one input in 8VSB (digital off-air) or QAM (digital cable) format, and delivers one output in modulated analog RF format. DAP PLUS is the same as DAP, but includes the AFD broadcast package. AFD (Active Format Description) is a standard set of codes embedded in the video stream and used by digital television broadcasters to optimally display a 16:9 video format on an analog television set designed for 4:3 video format. Both DAP and DAP PLUS can be equipped with an optional RNC module (Remote Network Card) for remote monitoring and control operations. One RNC module can monitor and control up to sixty-four DAP/DAP PLUS units installed in a headend. Additionally, DAP PLUS can be equipped with an optional ASI module (Asynchronous Serial Interface) that delivers two identical ASI stream outputs, allowing a seamless migration to an all-digital platform.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Agile Broadcast (UHF, VHF) and CATV (Standard, HRC, and IRC) channel assignments in the 54-864 MHz range
  • Supports EAS (Emergency Alert System) input which can also be used as an IF (Intermediate Frequency) input
  • Automated scanning captures all available off-air or cable programs present on the input signal
  • Supports both the Primary and the SAP (Secondary Audio Program) audio programs
  • Output power level range of +50 to +62 dBmV adjustable in 0.2 dB increments
  • Supports Closed Captioning (EIA-608)

    Digital & High Definition Processor Downconverter Digital & High Definition Processor Downconverter

    The DHDP Series is a two-unit system consisting of a Downconverter unit which acts as the input section and an Upconverter unit which acts as the output section. Both units are housed in a single MICM style die-cast chassis. The Downconverter unit is designed to accept any 8VSB signal from 54-860 MHz. Channel entry is made using a 2 digit front panel accessible BCD switch. (I.E. - VHF 2-13, UHF 14-69 & unused spectrum 806-860 MHz). The Downconverter outputs an IF signal which is fed to the Upconverter unit. The Upconverter unit is designed to take the IF signal from the downconverter and process it to any channel from 54-860 MHz. Channel entry is made using a 2 digit front panel accessible BCD switch. (I.E. - CATV – STD, IRC & HRC as well as Broadcast VHF & UHF).

    FEATURES AND BENEFITS
  • Digital & High Definition Processor
  • MICM Form Factor
  • 54-860 MHz 8VSB Input
  • 54-860 MHz CATV Output
  • Excellent Noise Performance - 88 dBc @ 10 kHz & 98 dBc@ 20 kHz
  • +40 dBmV Digital Output Level (+45 dBmV Analog Signals)
