PICO MACOM, INC.
DSP806
The Pico Macom DSP806 is a frequency agile, microprocessor-controlled,
professional re-broadcast grade double-heterodyne channel processor that
converts one 6MHz Digital (ATSC, 8VSB, 64QAM) or Analog (NTSC) channel
to a different frequency without need to demodulate and re-modulate the signal.
Front panel push-button controls enable simple input and output channel selec-
tion. The unit uses state-of-the-art high stability phase-locked-loop circuitry for
optimum data handling and channel relocation. The DSP806 provides a rear
panel external IF loop allowing this unit to be used as a digital up-converter or
down-converter in CMTS systems. The Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) IF filtering
provides highly selective frequency cut off at band edges for superior adjacent
channel performance even in the most crowded systems. The DSP806 unique
broad input AGC design delivers consistently high quality picture even at
extremely low input levels. The microprocessor’s non-volatile memory preserves
input and output channel identification guaranteeing proper reset when power is
restored. The DSP806 high frequency and extremely high accuracy phase-locked
loop oscillators enable the unit to meet the frequency offset and stability
requirements of FCC Docket 21006. Pico Macom backs up this product with its
industry leading 5-year limited warranty.
