4 QMOD-SDI
Specifications
Physical Size: 8.5” [216mm] wide x 1.75” [44mm] height (1RU) x 6.0” [153mm] deep
Weight: 1.5 lbs [0.68kg]
Temperature: +32° to 122° F operating temperature, convection cooled
Mounting: Rack mounting for one or two units side-by-side optional (RK1, RK2)
Front Panel Setup, Select and directional buttons for front-panel 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
Modulation
Latency Switchable 64/256 QAM, J83 Annex B, Interleaving Modes (128,1)
MER 38 dB typical
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.
Compliance FCC Class B, ROHS, meets California standards
Power 2.1mm coaxial jack (inside center conductor positive)
0.8 A maximum, 11.5 to 13.5 VDC, 12 VDC typical
