  • SAW filtered for superior adjacent channel performance enables drop-in channel expansion
  • Lab retunable within band via front panel channel selection and minimum output filter retuning

Description

The Pico Macom M860 is a professional re-broadcast grade microprocessor controlled phase-locked loop synthesized single channel audio-video modulator. The M860 provides 60dBmV minimum output from CATV channels 2 to 125 (54-806MHz) while accommodating HRC and IRC offset frequencies. The M860 features a composite audio-video IF loop, wich provides compatibility with encoders, ghost cancellers, and video-override applications.The unit is lab retunable within band via front panel channel selection and minimum output filter retuning. The M860 is equipped with a pre-emphasis disable switch which enables pass-through of highfidelity BTSC stereo signals where available. 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 enhances stability, minimizes adjacent channel interference and assures 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. Pico Macom backs up this product with its industry leading 5-year limited warranty.
