F860

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 leading 5-year

limited warranty.
