The R.L. Drake MMTS20 is an MTS stereo
encoder which accepts left and right channel
audio input and generates a composite BTSC
format stereo signal. The composite signal is
applied to the audio input of a compatible
audio/video modulator. The modular design of
the MMTS20 permits convenient pairing with a
Drake Mini-rack fixed channel or agile type
Video Modulator in a multiple unit rack
configuration.
Rear panel left and right audio inputs allow
either balanced or unbalanced operation. The
MMTS20 must be supplied with the modulator
video in order to provide the MMTS20 with sync
information for the encoding process. A front
panel Audio Level control with corresponding
Overmodulation indicator permits setting the
proper audio input levels to the MMTS20.

A Pilot Lock indicator is provided to verify that
the encoder is properly synchronized to the
supplied video horizontal sync. A built-in audio
test tone generator, turned on or off from a front
panel switch, is provided for calibration of the
modulator Audio Input level.
As previously described, front panel controls
include Audio Level and Test Tone switch. Front
panel indicators are Power, Pilot Lock, and
Overmodulation. A rear panel 'F' type connector is provided for the video sync reference.
Left and right audio inputs are through rear
panel 3.5 mm 'stereo' type receptacles. The
composite BTSC signal output is through a rear
panel RCA type phono connector. The unit is
powered by a compatible Drake Mini-rack
power supply module.

F1 - POWER Indicator
Lights when the unit is connected to the
required source of DC power.
F2 - PILOT LOCK Indicator
Lights to indicate that a video signal is applied
to the rear panel VIDEO INPUT connector and
that the MMTS20 is locked to the video
horizontal sync.
F3 - TEST TONE Switch
Switch to the 'ON' position to enable an internal
test tone to aid system audio level setup. See
the 'Installation' section of this manual for setup
information. The nor mal position of this switch
is the 'OFF' position.
F4 - OVERMODULATION Indicator
Lights to indicate greater than 25 kHz of main
channel deviation. After system audio
modulation levels are properly set, and with left
and right audio source input, adjust the AUDIO
LEVEL control (see item F5) to a point where
the OVERMODULATION indicator just
remains off.

F5 - AUDIO LEVEL Control
The setting of this screwdriver adjustment
determines the audio input signal level. After
system audio modulation levels are properly
set, and with left and right audio signals within
the 250 mVrms to 2.5 V rms range, set this
control to a point where the
OVERMODULATION indicator just remains off
(see item F4).
