The Model R149 is a timing control unit with applications in
the cable television and broadcasting industries. It controls
16 open-collector output devices in response to time-pro­grammed events. Use these output devices to control
audio/video relays, switchable modulators, processors, and
receivers in headend locations. Other applications include
control of uplink encoders, downlink decoders, video-cas­sette machines, and message generators.

Program up to 999 separate events to occur at a specific
time, up to 364 days in advance. An event may be stored as
a specific month/date/time, or a particular day of the month
(every Monday for the month of July), or any day (every
Friday for the year). Program these events using soft keys
and an alphanumeric display on the front panel, or program
events remotely via a serial commnications port, modem or
LAN using SYNOPSIS 2 applications software (included) to
upload, download, and edit all program timing and switching
information from an undedicated IBM-compatible PC.

Monroe Electronics Program Timers

Monroe Model R153 is a microprocessor based timing con­trol unit with applications in the Cable and Commercial
Television, Broadcasting, and Control industries. SYNOPSIS
2 software is included with the unit, and provides the ability
to upload, download, and edit all program timing and switch­ing information with an undedicated IBM PC or compatible,
or remotely from home, enabling the user to quit running to
the headend for special events, it can now be done from
home.

In the cable industry, the open collector ouptuts are used in
headend locations to control audio/video relays, switchable
modulators, processors, and receivers. Other applications
include control of uplink encoders, downlink decoders, video­cassette machines, and message generators.

The R-153 allows the user to store up to 999 events of pro­gram timing information for 364 days in advance. Events
may be stored as a specific month/date, or a particular day
of the month (every Monday for the month of July), or any
given day (every Friday of the year).
