GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The R.L. Drake model MQM6000L is a professional quality,
digital headend transcoder that receives up to six multipro-
gram transport streams via six BNC, ASI inputs. When six
streams are input, the MQM6000L then multiplexes one
program from each input and applies the result to the QAM
modulator and up converter for output.
A program filter is provided to allow selection of the one
desired program from each input. Other programs in the
incoming streams are dropped.
The MQM6000L offers a +40 dBmV output upconverter with
phase noise reduced to a level that is compatible with QAM
modes up through 1024QAM.
The MQM6000L can be used with the Drake Digital
Headend Remote Control Software, version to be an-
nounced, for setting up the program filtering, remote
controlling, or remote monitoring of operating parameters.
This program can also be used to download new firm-
ware into the unit if that ever becomes desirable.
The MQM6000L operates in a fixed output clock mode and
processes null packets when required to maintain the set
fixed clock rate. PCR correction is included.
PROGRAM FILTERING
A 'Select Program' function is provided to allow the
operator to select which MPEG program present on each of
the six input streams is to be included in the output
multiplex.
PSIP OPTIONS
The MQM6000L can be set to process PSIP information
from all six sources and rewrite tables containing combined
PSIP information, or in cases where the off-air broadcast
channels may not be transmitting some or all of the tables,
it can be set to ignore and discard the PSIP tables com-
pletely, or it can be set to generate MGT and VCT tables
without EIT tables. Null packet processing is applied as
necessary to keep the output data rate at the desired
setting. PCR correction is performed when necessary.
OUTPUT
The RF output is always QAM regardless of whether the
input is VSB or QAM and the built-in agile upconverter
provides +40 dBmV output.
