VMM860AG, VMM860AS
and other compatible modular units
The VMM860AG and VMM860AS modulators
are members 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 (12) modular units, such as
the fixed channel series of modulators, or agile
modulators, or compatible audio/video products
can be racked alongside a single power supply
in the Drake model RMM12, 12 position rack
mount. The RMM4 rack mount accepts up to
(4) modular units.
The R.L. Drake VMM860AG Audio-Video
Modulator is a high quality, vestigial sideband
unit with synthesized visual and aural carriers.
The frequency agile VMM860AG allows front
panel pushwheel switch selection of standard
CATV channels 2 through 135, or VHF/UHF TV
channels 2 through 69. Aeronautical channels
are offset positive with a tolerance of ±5 kHz as
required by FCC rules.
The VMM860AS has all of the features and
specifications of the VMM860AG plus the
additional capability of BTSC stereo audio.
The heterodyne conversion system, in
conjunction with the use of a SAW filter,
ensures optimum vestigial selectivity for
adjacent channel headends. A FCC
predistortion SAW response is standard.
The modulators are designed to accept any
standard audio/video source such as NTSC
video and audio baseband signals from a
satellite receiver, TV camera, videotape
recorder, TV demodulator, or similar signal
source. The VMM860AS has both a left and
right audio input to accomodate stereo sources.
All level controls are located on the front panel
for ease of operation. Output level is +45
dBmV and is adjustable over a 10 dB range.
On the VMM860AG, an audio pre-emphasis
defeat, rear panel switch allows transmission of
BTSC encoded baseband stereo audio signals
when used with the external Drake MMTS20
stereo encoder. A stereo encoder is built into
the VMM860AS model.
