using front panel audio and
video deviation controls
Microprocessor control with
push-button channel selection
provides ease of installation,
configuration, and servicing
Digital display provides quick
channel identification
State-of-the-art digital phaselocked loop (PLL) design guarantees precise frequency locking for solid drift-free operation
SAW filtered for precise adjacent channel rejection
Envelope detection ensures
exceptional differential gain and
phase
The Pico Macom MPCD is a frequency agile professional grade, microprocessor
controlled CATV mini demodulator.The unit accepts any NTSC television signal in
the 54-806MHz frequency-range converting it to baseband video and audio, while
maintaining over 60dB S/N ratio. Up to 12 or 16 units can be installed “mix-andmatch” in Pico’s MPC12, MPS12,
MPC12R and MPC16 chassis with MPCM45
and MPCMA mini-modulators. Its unique design enables it to be installed in other
manufacturers’mini-mod chassis. The unit’s phase-locked-loop frequency control,
envelope signal detection, and superior SAW filtering minimize adjacent channel
interference and assure accurate and spurious free performance. IRC or HRC
offsets can be activated via push-button switches on the front panel. The unit’s
PLL circuitry in conjunction with the non-volatile memory contained in the microprocessor ensures easy and reliable channel selection and restoration.The
MPCD demodulator is shipped with all internal adjustments preset. Pico Macom
backs up this product with its industry leading 5-year limited warranty.
