Drake DD860 Digital Tuner Demodulator

The R.L. Drake DD860 Digital Tuner Demodulator is a professional quality, modular, digital headend component designed to provide optimum performance for VSB or QAM demodulation. It can be used for demodulating signals from CATV systems or off-air antennas.

·         Demodulates 8VSB, 16VSB, 64QAM or 256QAM modes from off-air or CATV sources from 54 to 858 MHz.

·         Two ASI outputs (BNC connectors) are provided. SPI output (LVDS output on 25 pin connector) is available on special order.

·         Convenient front panel channel selection for channel and demodulation mode entry.

·         Front panel LED signal-to-noise ratio, lock, and error indicators.

·         ATSC compliant demodulation and FEC decoding in VSB modes.

·         DVB or DigiCipher II compliant demodulation in QAM modes.

·         Automatic selection of DigiCipher II or DVB FEC decoding when in QAM modes.

·         IRC and HRC channel plans may be tuned by moving an internal jumper.

·         Wide range equalizer eliminates multipath effects.

·         Low phase noise tuner provides reliable operation with dense signal constellations.

·         An NTSC co-channel rejection filter for 8VSB modes is incorporated.

·         Used with the DRMM12 rack mount and PS8 power supply.

·         Made in the U.S.A.
