PDI-50121AMS 860MHz SAW Filtered 134 Channel 50dBmV Frequency Agile Mini Stereo Modulator

Specifications and Documentation

The PDI-50121AM consists of 12 individual, vertically mounted, frequency agile modulators and an efficient switching type power supply module mounted in one 3-1/2” high housing. It is designed for 19” rack mounting. Each modulator is SAW filtered and is factory set to the desired channel and proper offset. Recessed front panel controls are preset, at the factory, for 87.5% depth of modulation, ±25kHz audio deviation, and - 15dBc video audio ratio. RF is set at maximum. It offers excellent video performance and high reliability in a 2U rack. This exceptional unit is manufactured and tested to the highest standards and complies with all FCC requirements.
