Scale Services and Expand Bandwidth

Analog modulators from Scientific Atlanta, a Cisco company, help North American cable network operators convert baseband audio and video signals into network-ready RF output signals. Capabilities of modulators in this series include:

• Built-in intelligence, which allows remote control of important parameters
• The ability to combine multiple agile channels into a single headend
• Excellent ease of installation in new and existing broadband systems
• The ability to manage all activities between application modules
• Support of external monitoring and control functionality
• Significant space savings with a convenient size and form factor
• Power savings with an ASIC-based upconverter that consumes about half the power of traditional upconverter circuits
• Outstanding RF performance and the ability to tune from 50-870 MHz in a single device
• Superb stereo separation and distortion correction
• No need to calibrate the BTSC signal, thanks to a digitally generated audio subcarrier

These products are ideal in Cable TV distribution systems where a combination of high reliability, low maintenance and excellent price/performance ratio are a priority.
