Frequency agile (Chl 2-69) 8VSB modulator for antenna or cable app . PCI half-card with DVB ASI or SMPTE 310M input and IF and RF output targeted at only digital signage, STB Testing, and Laboratory Applications. Input SMPTE 310M or DVB ASI via Coaxial Cable. Will remux lower rate DVB ASI inputs to 19.38 Mbps.

Standard Features:

• DVB-ASI or SMPTE-310M transport stream input via mini ASI connector or included BNC header
• When ASI is input the TS can be any rate since it is upconverted and remuxed to ATSC rate
• When DVB is input the bit rate can be anything above 2 Mbps or below 19 Mbps
• ASI in via PCI
• Can be reprogrammed to add QAM, QPSK, DVB-T, and I-SDBT to the card
• 44 MHz/36 MHz IF output or on board Channel 2~69 selectable RF output up-converter
• Supports EIA 50-860 MHz Band
• ECC: Reed Solomon(204,188,T=8) encoding
• 8VSB: 2/3 Rate Trellis Coding Conforming to ATSC A.53 specs. Symbol Rate Fixed at 10.7622 Symbol/Sec
