The input video and audio signals are first of all modulated to generate the IF signal that is pre- corrected by a 12 slopes precorrection board and converted into the RF signal. The changing of the transmitted frequency is easily possible from the front panel working on the unit directly by software commands that modify the PLL local oscillator settings. It is possible to set whatever frequency inside the IV-V band only setting the desired channel using the front panel buttons, with a precision of 1 Hz thanks to the high precision oscillator present on the up-converter module. It is also possible to have any locking to a 5MHz or 10 MHz external standard oscillator, in order to obtain a high necessary stability ratio (precision offset). The standard setting is for a 10 MHz external reference but it is possible to change the setting for accepting a 5MHz input as indicated in the following paragraphs. All the main parameters of the unit, including the data related to the audio and video input signals, their processing and the output can be monitored in the front panel and also via WEB with a remote control through web browser: an internal board allows the unit to be connected to a LAN using a RJ 45 interface in order to have access to all the functioning parameters of the unit and to send commands working on a web page in a common web browser (Internet Explorer 6+) without the installation of any special software.
