PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Pico Macom DSP806 is a frequency agile, microprocessor-controlled,
professional re-broadcast grade double-heterodyne channel processor that
converts one 6 MHz Digital (ATSC, 8VSB, 64QAM) or Analog (NTSC) channel
to a different frequency without need to demodulate and re-modulate the
signal. Front panel push-button controls enable simple input and output
channel selection. The unit uses state-of-the-art high stability phase-locked-loop
circuitry for optimum data handling and channel relocation. The
DSP806 provides a rear panel external IF loop allowing this unit to be used
as a digital up-converter or down-converter in CMTS systems. The Surface
Acoustic Wave (SAW) IF filtering provides highly selective frequency cut off
at band edges for superior adjacent channel performance even in the most
crowded systems. The DSP806 unique broad input AGC design delivers
consistently high quality picture even at extremely low input levels. The
microprocessor’s non-volatile memory preserves input and output channel
identification guaranteeing proper reset when power is restored. The
DSP806 high frequency and extremely high accuracy phase-locked loop
oscillators enable the unit to meet the frequency offset and stability requirements
of FCC Docket 21006. Pico Macom backs up this product with its
industry leading 5-year limited warranty.
