MPM860AG

Channel 3 or 4 Agile Processor

The MPM860AG is a high quality agile channel processor designed to con­vert an input channel 3 or 4 to any CATV output channel from 2 to 135 or
broadcast channel from 2-69. 1 to 12 processors or other accessories can be
mounted in 2 RU (rack spaces) (3.5"). The MPM860AG joins the legendary
Drake Mini Rack Solution as a device capable of receiving a modulated
channel 3 or 4 from a digital DTA set top box that does not have composite
audio/video outputs. If the output channel is stereo then the MPM860AG will
pass the converted channel as stereo. The MPM860AG may also be used
with other devices having a channel 3 or 4 modulator as well and may serve
as an inexpensive means to provide stereo programs if present in the chan­nel 3 or 4 output. Like other Drake agile mini rack products a convenient
pushwheel switch is used to select the output channel.

Features

• Convenient Pushwheel Switch for Channel Selection.

• Standard CATV channels 2 - 135 or Broadcast channels 2 - 69 selectable from
front panel.

• IRC & HRC CATV channel formats selectable by internal jumper.

• Channel 3 or 4 input can be double sideband or vestigial sideband.

• SAW filtering for superior adjacent channel performance and removal of undesired
sideband if present at input.

• Stereo ready providing original stream is stereo and passes via channel 3 or 4

• Agility allows for "hot standby" solutions in headends.

• Agility allows for minimal service stock.

• An Economical NTSC channel 3 or 4 channel processor

• +45 dBmV output

• Front panel control of RF output level.

• Complies with FCC Rules Part 76.

• Use up to 12 MPM860AG processors in a two-rack height space powered by a
single PSM121 Power Supply.

• Use up to 4 MPM860AG processors in a one-rack height space by using the
RMM4 Rack and Power Supply.

• Rack mount and high capacity PSM121 Power Supply sold separate

Spurious -60dB @ +45dBmV out

Broadband Noise -77 dBc @ greater than ±12 MHz offset at +45 dBmV output, 4MHz bandwidth

In Channel C/N 57 dB, 4 MHz bandwidth

In Channel Frequency

Response Within 2 dB

Output Level Note The output level of the MPM860AG is intended to be set at or very near

+45dBmV. The front panel gain control adjusts the input level into the
conversion circuitry and not the final output attenuation. For best noise and
spurious performance please adjust the output level to +45dBmV with the
actual input source that will be used with the device. If more than 1 or 2 dB
of variation is needed to properly equalize the system, appropriate attenuators
should be placed on the output of the MPM860AG.
