MPCD
Descriptions
The
Pico Macom MPCD
is a frequency agile professional grade, microprocessor controlled
CATV mini demodulator. The unit accepts any NTSC television signal in the 54-806MHz
frequency-range converting it to baseband video and audio, while maintaining over 60dB
S/N ratio. Up to 12 or 16 units can be installed “mix-and-match” in Pico’s
MPC12
,
MPS12,
MPC12R and MPC16
chassis with
MPCM45
and
MPCMA
mini-modulators. Its unique
design enables it to be installed in other manufacturers’ mini-mod chassis. The unit’s phase-
locked-loop frequency control, envelope signal detection, and superior SAW filtering mini-
mize adjacent channel interference and assure accurate and spurious free performance.
IRC or HRC offsets can be activated via push-button switches on the front panel. The unit’s
PLL circuitry in conjunction with the non-volatile memory contained in the microprocessor
ensures easy and reliable channel selection and restoration. The
MPCD
demodulator is
shipped with all internal adjustments preset.
Pico Macom
backs up this product with its
industry leading 5-year limited warranty.
