DESCRIPTION
The R.L Drake VM2860 and VM2862 Video Modulators are high
quality, vestigial sideband units with synthesized visual and aural
carriers. They are designed to accept NTSC video and audio
baseband signals from a satellite receiver or similar equipment.
Front panel video and audio level controls with accompanying
modulation indicators permit easy setup of the proper modulation
levels. The A/V ratio and RF output level controls are also provided
on the front panel. A rear panel EAS alternate IF input is also
provided. The VM2860 model is for applications with mono audio
and the VM2862 model provides BTSC stereo encoded audio. If
SAP is required, this option is available for the VM2862 model, and
is field installable.
Synthesized operation provides complete frequency agility, allowing
front panel selection of any standard CATV channel from 2 to 135
(54 to 862 MHz band). FCC required offsets for aeronautical
channels are automatically provided for each channel that requires
an offset. For special applications, IRC or HRC CATV frequencies
or off-air broadcast frequencies can be selected after moving an
internal jumper.
A high quality IF SAW filter with FCC predistortion eliminates
adjacent channel interference and provides optimum delay
characteristics.

An auto-switching alternate IF input, labeled EAS input, is provided
for connection of an Emergency Alert System 44 MHz IF signal.
When the EAS IF signal appears at the EAS input, the main video
and audio modulated IF is replaced by the EAS input signal.
A 4.5 MHz video trap may be selected via an internal jumper
(VM2862 has 4.5 MHz trap on as factory setting). This may be used
to filter off a 4.5 MHz sound subcarrier or undesired video
components to prevent interference to the stereo or SAP channels.
The RF section of the modulator contains bandpass filtering that
divides the 54 to 862 MHz output range into four bands, each
approximately 200 MHz wide. This filtering, in conjunction with the
use of high level, low noise floor mixing, ensures very low
broadband noise at the output. Thus a full complement of up to all
134 available channels from VM2860 or VM2862 modulators may
be combined while maintaining an excellent C/N of each channel.
All of the mentioned features, combined with a carefully designed
low noise and low distortion output stage, provide reliable operation
in a densely crowded SMATV or CATV environment.
The inclusion of a fan in the VM2860 and VM2862 permits rack
mounting of this equipment without leaving the typical 1U air space
between modulators.
