The
MACOM F860
is a professional re-broadcast grade microprocessor controlled
phase-locked loop synthesized single channel audio-video modulator available with
an optional BTSC stereo encoder. The
F860
provides 60 dBmV minimum output while
accommodating HRC and IRC offset frequencies. The optional BTSC encoder
enables delivery of high fidelity stereo without the cost of a stand-alone stereo
encoder. This cost-effective modulator was designed for use in heavily loaded systems
requiring high stability and superior picture and stereo sound quality. Its phase-locked
loop frequency control and superior SAW filtering enhance stability, minimize adjacent
channel interference and assure accurate and spurious free output. Superior out-of-
band carrier-to-noise performance is achieved through band-pass filtering at the
output amplifier. The modulator is shipped with all internal adjustments preset. FCC
Docket 21006 offsets are standard. The
MACOM
line is backed by an industry lead-
ing 5-year limited warranty.
