Product Overview
The AP-60-860A from Blonder Tongue is an Agile Processor with EAS. The AP-60-860A (Agile Digital/Analog Processor) operates in one of the three following modes:
- Mode 1: Analog Heterodyne Processor (Analog RF IN > Analog RF OUT)
- Mode 2: Digital Heterodyne Processor (QAM IN > QAM OUT)
- Mode 3: Digital-to-Analog Processor (8VSB or QAM IN > Analog RF OUT).
This product has a subchannel input which is used in conjunction with an AM-60-550 with Option 4.
Features
- Accepts one Analog RF input (CATV sub-band channels T7-T13, CATV standard channels 2-135, VHF channels 2-13, and UHF channels 14-69) and delivers one Analog RF output (CATV standard channels 2-135)
- Accepts one Digital Cable QAM input (CATV sub-band channels T7-T13, and CATV standard channels 2-135) and delivers one Digital Cable QAM output (CATV standard channels 2-135)
- As an agile digital-to-analog processor: accepts one Digital Off-air 8VSB or Digital Cable QAM input (CATV standard channels 2-135, VHF channels 2-13, and UHF channels 14-69) and delivers one Analog RF output (CATV standard channels 2-135)
- Equipped with EAS interface which can also be used as an IF (Intermediate Frequency) input
- Supports Closed Captioning (EIA-608)
