The MPM860AG mini processing module is a
member of the R.L. Drake 19” Mini-Rack Series,
a professional quality modular headend system
designed to optimize rack space. An assortment
of up to twelve (12) modular units, such as the
VMM Series of fixed channel and agile channel
modulators, the MPM860AG, or compatible
audio/video products can be racked alongside a
single power supply (Drake model PSM121 - 12
Unit Power Supply) in the Drake model RMM12
(12 Slot Rack Mount Chassis). The Drake RMM4A
Rack Mount Chassis (with Built-In Power Supply)
accepts up to four (4) modular units.
The R.L. Drake MPM860AG is a miniature analog
double conversion heterodyne channel processor
designed specifically to accept a Channel 3 or
Channel 4 RF input from a typical consumer
grade CH3/4 NTSC modulator. The input signal
can be either double sideband as typical for such
a modulator, or vestigial sideband modulated.
The MPM860AG contains SAW filtering to insure
that the output of the MPM860AG is a vestigial
sideband output for use in a 6 MHz-wide channel
environment. Adjacent output channels are
allowed.
The frequency agile MPM860AG allows front panel
push-wheel switch selection of standard CATV
channels 2 though 135, or VHF/UHF TV channels 2
through 69. Aeronautical channels are offset per
FCC requirements. Internal jumpers permit set-up
for HRC or IRC CATV channel plans as well.
The heterodyne conversion system, in conjunction
with the use of a SAW filter, ensures optimum
vestigial selectivity for adjacent channel headends.
Note that the output of the MPM860AG is related
to the input signal’s stability and level. A nominal
input level of +10 dBmV ± 3 dB is desired at CH3 or
CH4. The front panel GAIN control on the
MPM860AG can then be adjusted to obtain a +45
dBmV output level. The MPM860AG is linear and if
the input level is changed, the MPM860AG’s output
level will follow.
