General description
Main features
The MAC 201 model is an AV analogue TV signal to COFDM digital TV signal standalone
modulator unit. Suitable for individual residential installations, it is an ideal solution for
the distribution of analogue video signals with COFDM digital TV modulation in a single
standalone unit.
The AV1 and AV2 signals are also serially digitalised, coded in MPEG2 and modulated in
COFDM. The COFDM base band signal is modulated on an RF carrier that can be adjusted
at the output to the VHF and UHF bands.
