Toner Cable A860 User Manual

Features

• Re-broadcast quality performance specifications match those of fixed
channel modulators

• Integrated BTSC Stereo (optional)

• 60dBmV minimum output for optimum carrier-to-noise performance

• Precision SAW filter for superior adjacent channel performance enables
drop-in channel expansion

• State-of-the-art digital phase-locked loop (PLL) design guarantees
precise frequency locking for solid drift-free operation

• Superior design including automatic band-splitting filters for excellent carrier-to-noise ratio (>65dB)

• Bright LED bar graph provides simple modulation set-up

• Microprocessor tuning control provides digital display with push-button channel selection for ease of installation, configuration
and servicing

• Rear panel interfaces accept baseband video and three audio formats to provide maximum installation flexibility

• Composite and separate audio and video IF loops allow compatibility with encoders, ghost cancellers and video override appli­cations

• MPX stereo loop provides encoded stereo input and compatibility with Emergency Alert equipment

• IRC and HRC input and output offset available for frequency setting in systems using offset channels
