The MPM860AG is a high quality agile channel processor designed to convert an input channel 3 or 4 to any CATV output channel from 2 to 135 or broadcast channel from 2-69. 1 to 12 processors or other accessories can be mounted in 2 RU (rack spaces) (3.5"). The MPM860AG joins the legendary Drake Mini Rack Solution as a device capable of receiving a modulated channel 3 or 4 from a digital DTA set top box that does not have composite audio/video outputs. If the output channel is stereo then the MPM860AG will pass the converted channel as stereo. The MPM860AG may also be used with other devices having a channel 3 or 4 modulator as well and may serve as an inexpensive means to provide stereo programs if present in the channel 3 or 4 output. Like other Drake agile mini rack products a convenient push wheel switch is used to select the output channel.

Output Level Note |
The output level of the MPM860AG is intended to be set at or very near +45dBmV. The front panel gain control adjusts the input level into the conversion circuitry and not the final output attenuation. For best noise and spurious performance please adjust the output level to +45dBmV with the actual input source that will be used with the device. If more than 1 or 2 dB of variation is needed to properly equalize the system, appropriate attenuators should be placed on the output of the MPM860AG. |
