Broadband Gear Report Hot Product Alert: RF Signal Management Products and Solutions for Switched Digital Video Headend Architecture and Edge QAM Device Wiring

As system operators explore the many benefits of a switched digital video network deployment, consideration must be given on all of the components required for a complete end to end design. The design must allow for system growth, add-ons, changes, etc…
For headend and remote hubsite applications where where RF signal management solutions are needed, ViewTEQ offers an ideal set of tools and cost effective product solutions to accomplish your desired results.
ViewTEQ products are uniquely designed and engineered with the operator in mind, providing superior performance, design flexibility, excellent density, and overall value.
For SDV architectures, most designs utilize an Edge QAM device which provides multiple QAM carriers on each of the typical 4 output RF connectors. The ViewTEQ products below comprise the tools and solutions needed for a quality and successful deployment.

1. MCP-111 Series / rack mounted modular passives The MCP series offers a variety of modular passives for headend and hubsite RF splitting/combining requirements. Multiple configurations are available such as triple DC or 2-way, or 8-way. Passband solutions offered are, 5-1000MHz (Broadband), 54-1000Mhz (Forward Band), or the all new custom tuned series which is optimized for the QAM carrier range of 550-1000Mhz. Ask about our all new QAM carrier tuned 4x4 module!!!
   
   This completely modular solution is color-coded and designed to optimize rack space density, superior performance, and exceptional value. All modules are 100% QC tested to guarantee consistent performance throughout each unit. Best in class port-to-port isolation, return loss, and flatness specifications have caught the attention of many operators.
   
   



2. MFS-205 Series / Forward Path Distribution Unit This uniquely designed modular platform is an ideal integrated solution for forward path distribution of signal routed to optical transmitters. The 2RU chassis is modular and maintenance friendly, designed for simple and efficient insertion of all system broadcast, midcast, and narrowcast signals; for distribution to a capacity of 8 outputs segmented into a single broadcast group of 8, two midcasting groups of 4, or narrowcast to a single output. Complete power supply redundancy and alarm condition management features are standard , while an RF amplifier switch feature is optional. Multiple gain configurations offered for input level aligment with your type transmitter. Excellent density, superior design solution, and exceptional value make the MFS-205 Series the best choice. -48V solutions available. Ask about our all new MFS-205G unit!!!
   



3. MCA-111 Series / Modular Headend Amplifier The complete 1RU modular chassis offers the perfect solution for compact headend amplification. The unit offers redundant powering and alarm management are standard features, while allowing for the installation of up to HAR/HAF amplifier modules for both forward and return path applications. Amplifier modules offer input stage plug-in padding and plug-in equalization, with an additional plug pad at the output section. Ideal for use a drive, launch, or isolation amplifier. Gain options available for forward path applications include 20, 24, 27, and 32dB gain up to 1GHz. -48V powering solution available.
   



4. MCS-111 Headend Amplifier and Switching System Similar to the MCA-111 headend amplifier chassis, the MCS-111 unit occupies a very small 1RU footprint, and provides operators with a completely modular system for RF redundancy. The rear side of the chassis has four modular slots; populated with 2 HAF or HAR series amplifier modules, 1 high isolation 2-way splitter module with plug-in equalization; and an RFS-001 switch module. The MCS-111 unit allows headend engineers to configure for either return path or forward path applications where 99.999% system reliability is required. -48Vpowering option available.
