DSP806

Descriptions

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, 64 QAM) 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 selection. 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 fre-
quency offset and stability requirements of FCC Docket 21006.
