INTRODUCTION

The Palladium II Series of digital video trans­mitters provide exceptional video quality in
high multipath environments. They are ideal
for use inside buildings, in urban areas, and
in other applications where multipath would
normally cause video tearing or breakup.

All Palladium II Series transmitters are
designed for spectrum-efficient 2.5 MHz
channel spacing. Approximately 400 carriers
are used to transmit video and two channels
of voice and data. Palladium transmitters may
be located on adjacent channels without a
guard band. AES 128-bit encryption ensures
users of secure communications.

The Palladium 5000S is a small, modular
transmitter with a 5W RF power output. It’s
ideal for OEM concealments and short to
mid-range robotic and UAV applications. The
package is only 10” x 10” x 3.625”. All connec­tions are conveniently located. The Palladium
5000S incorporates a power amplifier bring­ing total power output to 5W.
