General Description
The Drake model DSE24 is a High Definition or Standard Definition MPEG2 video and audio encoder combined with a QAM modulator and RF up-converter. The DSE24 is particularly well suited for digital signage applications, allowing transmission to the monitor via regular coaxial cable infrastructure. Multiple DSE24s can provide multiple programs that can be distributed on the same coax.
The DSE24 is housed in a convenient table top package. Using the optional 19” rack mounting panel, one or two DSE24s can be rack mounted in just 1RU of height. The DSE24 accepts analog high definition or standard definition video input via component, VGA, or composite inputs. Digital video can also be input via a HDMI (without HDCP) input. Audio can be input via imbedded HDMI audio, S/PDIF optical digital input, or analog left and right RCA jacks.
Video is encoded using MPEG2 encoding. Audio is encoded using MPEG1, Layer 2 encoding. The QAM RF output can be either 64QAM or 256QAM, both annex B mode. The built-in upconverter RF output is agile and can output on any 6 MHz broadcast or CATV channel between 54 and 1000 MHz and additionally on T channels T7 through T14 (channel center frequencies 8.75 through 50.75 MHz respectively).

Installation and Mounting / Front Panel Controls
INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING NOTES
This equipment is designed to be installed either as a table top unit or with an optional standard 1RU 19” rack panel. When the unit is mounted above or below other rack mounted equipment, a 1U space (1.75”) should be left between the unit and the other equipment to allow ambient air flow between the units. No space is needed between DSE24 units themselves.
Connect the external power supply to an appropriate source of 120 volt, 50/60 Hz AC power, and connect the power supply output to the rear panel DC power jack. The DSE24 is always on once the AC power cord is connected to its power source.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
F1, LCD Display - This display presents the selected menu screen and the parameter settings as well as various
status and error messages. The backlight in the display is on when power is applied.
F2, Left and Right Buttons – Use the left and right arrow buttons to navigate from screen to screen to view the various parameter settings.. These buttons are operational in either the view mode or the program mode. Using only these buttons will not change any parameter setting.
