The Toner TAMD is a professional video demodulator designed to fit most of
the industries popular 2RU chassis that hold up to 12 modules such as modu­lators, demodulators, and agile modulators. Some of the chassis that are
compatible are: Blonder Tongue MIRC, Drake RMM12, and Pico MPC-12, all
available from Toner.

The TAMD is a high quality frequency agile audio video demodulator for PAL
television systems. The unit allows front panel channel selection of standard
off air broadcast and cable television channels up to 862 MHz by use of push
button synthesized tuning.

The phase lock loop (PLL) synthesized frequency control provides rock solid
frequency stability.

The demodulator is designed to accept any standard PAL-I or PAL-BG RF
input and provide a video and audio output at 1.0 Vp-p level. All controls are
located on the front panel for ease of operation. The modulator has a 3 digit
LCD channel display with a lock - unlock function to prevent unintentional
channel changes.

The Cable Television / Off-Air Band is selected with a front panel Cable /
Antenna switch, which can only be used when the unit is unlocked.
