4 Introduction This televisionmodulator was designed with in mind that no compromises should be made concerning electrical specifications. Combined with a large variety of connecting possibilities this modulator is very universal for a wide application area. The coverage of the whole band from 47 to 862 MHz keeps logistics at the operator s side easy. Just one piece of equipment wich does the job. Remote control is hardware prepared (RS485) and software dependent on what is used at buyers side. SNMP will be implemented in our remote controlled version.
5 Function overview The best impression is given by creating an overview of the user functions. standard option Aux. Video & audio input Auto detect main video absence 1) Automatic main -> aux or IF switchover When main video fail Aux IF input IF loop through Nicam stereo sound specify when ordering Audio ledbar monitoring L&R ch. Adjustable mod. Depth on front Adjustable pict/sound ratio on front Audio level adjust L&R on front RF outputlevel adjustable on front 20 db range error status led on front Master slave ref. frequency configuration for HRC concept specify when ordering 2 external inputs for forced aux / main switchover for aud.&vid. and IF Remote control hardware prepared RS 485 bus Remote control software contact us Whitelimiter specify when ordering LCD adjustment 1) if videodetect is false and main input is seleted automatic switchover to aux is performed for audio and video. If Aux in is choosen via the menu than the videodetect has no influence on this choice.
