QMOD-HDSC HDTV Scaler Modulator

HDSC

Specifications

Physical

8.5” [216mm] wide x 1.73” [62mm] height (1RU) x 6.0” [153mm] deep
1.5 lbs [0.68kg]
+32° to 122° F operating temperature, convection cooled
Rack mounting for one or two units side-by-side optional (RK1, RK2)

Front Panel

Power button
Select and directional buttons for menu setup
Menu LCD, 2 lines of 20 blue characters each

Encoding

MPEG2 Profile:MP@HL for HD, MP@ML for SD
1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i resolution, depending on input
Video Encoding bitrate 18 or 25 Mbps
MPEG1, Layer 2 audio
Latency: 360 ms@720p, 660ms1080i, includes all processing and tuning.
HDTV modulators experience more latency, as the media is converted to
MPEG2 and QAM, then distributed over RF.

Modulation

Switchable 64/256 QAM, J83 Annex B, Interleaving Modes (128,1)
MER 38 dB typical

RF Output

Agile, channels 2-135 (48-860 MHz), standard, HRC, or IRC spacing
6 MHz bandwidth fits any open channel without interference to adjacent channels
1 KHz resolution, +/- 30 ppm accuracy, +/- 35 ppm stability
29 dBmV typical output power, attenuated in 5 steps, approx 4 dB

Compliance

FCC Class B, ROHS, meets California standards

Rear Panel

Power: 2.1mm coaxial jack (inside center conductor positive)
0.8 A maximum, 11.5 to 13.5 VDC, 12 VDC typical

RS-232: DB-9 male, RS-232 data link to control system
300 to 19,200 baud (9600 default), 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit

Video Inputs:

RGB: RGBHV DB-15 female, feeds to in-stream scaler, accepts up to 1920 x 1080 VGA (1080p input will be scanned as 1450 x 1080)
Component: RCA Pr, Pb, Y (1080i/720p/480p), available if RGB not wired
S-Video: Y(Composite), C (Blue Pb) 480p, 29.97 Hz, available if RGB/Component not wired
Composite : RCA female (480i) - not presently operational in QMOD-HDSC

Video Output:

RGB: RGBHV DB-15 female, buffered, from VGA input

Scaling:

Input: RGBHV or Component
Ingest: Scales to 1080i/720p, 59.94 Hz video for endoding
