DrakDMM806e DMM806

The Drake DMM806 Agile Video Demodulator is a professional quality agile television demodulator that provides an audio and video output from any VHF, UHF, or CATV channels (54 – 806 MHz). The Drake DMM806 is a standard single rack-unit design permits convenient pairing with a Drake Professional Video Modulator to perform off-air or CATV channel processing.


vmm860ag

Drake VMM860AG

The Drake VMM860AG is an agile, high quality, vestigial sideband, heterodyne audio/video modulator with synthesized visual and aural carriers. One to twelve modulators or other accessories can be mounted in the same amount of rack space typically required for two standard size units. Ideally suited for private cable, hotels and motels, institutional, and SMATV applications, the VMM860AG accepts video and audio baseband signals from a satellite receiver, TV camera, videotape recorder, TV demodulator, Drake VMM860AG is an agile, high quality, vestigial sideband, heterodyne audio/video modulatoror similar signal sources.


mqm1000

Drake MQM1000

The R. L. Drake model MQM1000 is a professional quality, digital headend transcoder that accepts one or two MPEG2 digital inputs via two Asynchronous Serial Input (ASI) connectors. These signals must be ATSC compatible streams if multiplexing is to be performed and usually will have originated from a local TV broadcast station and may have been transported over fiber links to the MQM1000. After multiplexing and null packet management, theMQM1000 QAM modulates and up converts onto any desired CATV or off-air output channel between 54 and 1002MHz. The MQM1000 can also operate as a non-multiplexing QAM modulator when a single ASI input is selected.


dse24

Drake DSE24

The Drake DSE24 will encode a single uncompressed program derived from devices with HDMI, Component Video or VGA outputs to HD MPEG2 video. An internal QAM modulator and low noise upconverter allows existing legacy fiber/coax networks to be used as distribution channels for digital signage content. This provides instant access to an extensive network of digital displays capable of viewing valuable advertiser based or informational video in a vibrant “High Definition” format.


hde24

Drake HDE24

The Drake HDE24 high-definition encoder module generates an MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 (H.264) video stream, with Dolby® AC3 or MPEG1 layer 2 audio. This module is designed to be installed into Drake’s EH24 or MEQ1000-style chassis which provides the control and output interface to the unit. This configuration of encoder module and host chassis provides the ultimate in bandwidth management and economy by allowing multiple HD and SD streams to be multiplexed together dependent upon the limitations of the bandwidth of the chosen output: QAM and/or ASI.


eh24

Drake EH24/SDE24

The Drake Digital™ EH24 platform is a 19″ rack-mountable 2RU chassis that accepts up to six real-time Drake Digital™ SDE24 MPEG2/MPEG4 video encoder modules. The Drake Digital™ SDE24 MPEG encoders contain two video encoders each, enabling the Drake Digital™ EH24 to accept 12 different video input sources/channels to be multiplexed after encoding (when populated with six SDE24 modules). The EH24 accepts any number of SDE24 modules (1-6) adding two video programs per module.


drakedad860

Drake DAD860

The Drake model DAD860 Digital to Analog Decoder is a digital demodulator and decoder, for ATSC 8VSB broadcast or in-the-clear QAM television signals, that delivers a standard NTSC composite analog video and stereo audio output. This device, used in conjunction with an analog NTSC modulator, allows a cable system operator to continue to provide analog versions of services that will only be available to him as digital in the future. It may also be utilized to provide the alternate digital channels now available from many broadcasters. The DAD860 is packaged in an extruded aluminum module that is compatible with the Drake RMM12 or RMM4 rack mounting units normally used for our analog mini-rack components. The Drake DAD860 is one unit wide and thus takes one of 12 available slots in the RMM12. There is a companion controller, the DAD860 Controller, that can be used to program and monitor between one and ten DAD860 modules. The controller module is two units wide as mounted in the RMM12.

VM2860

Drake VM2860 & VM2862

The Drake monaural VM2860 agile modulator offers identical performance without stereo sound or the ability to add SAP audio. Drake now offers superior stereo audio performance and extensive channel capacity with the VM2862 BTSC MTS stereo modulator. An optional secondary audio program (SAP) module may be field installed in the VM2862. As quality American made products from Drake, long recognized for manufacturing products of enduring quality and reliability, the VM2862 and VM2860 are designed and engineered to surpass the most demanding engineering requirements with frequency coverage up to 860 MHz.


meq1000

Drake MEQ1000

The Drake MEQ1000 is the industry’s first commercial-grade, multiplexing Hybrid QAM modulator. Ideal for applications where a single QAM output is required from each Hybrid QAM chassis, the MEQ1000 features a variety of plug-in input modules including an ATSC/QAM input tuner, an ASI input, an IP input (future release), and analog NTSC inputs, bringing an unprecedented level of flexibility to cable operators.

The MEQ1000 has bays for up to two input modules. The video content from both modules enters the main chassis where it is MPEG program filtered, multiplexed, and groomed. Any number of program streams may be sent to the QAM modulator or be exported via ASI Output.


rmm12

Drake RMM12, RMM

The R.L. DRAKE RMM12 Rack Mount supports a single Drake Power Supply and up to (12) modular Audio/Video modulators to configure a professional quality, modular, headend system, which optimizes rack space. Up to (12) Drake Video Modulators, in any combination, can be supported as well as combinations of video modulators with Drake Video and/or Audio Switching modules.


MPMDrake MPM860AG

The Drake MPM860AG is a high quality agile channel processor designed to convert an input channel 3 or 4 to any CATV output channel from 2 to 135 or broadcast channel from 2-69. 1 to 12 processors or other accessories can be mounted in 2 RU (rack spaces) (3.5″). The MPM860AG joins the legendary Drake Mini Rack Solution as a device capable of receiving a modulated channel 3 or 4 from a digital DTA set top box that does not have composite audio/video outputs.
