Blonder Tongue AMCM‑860D Agile Modulator Module

Condition: New

Product Overview
The AMCM‑860D is a mono audio/video agile modulator module in Blonder Tongue’s Modular Headend System. It produces a single laid‑over RF channel within the 54–860 MHz range, compatible with standard CATV, HRC, IRC, and broadcast frequency plans. Designed for headend and MATV/SMATV installations, this module accepts baseband video and mono audio from sources such as satellite receivers, DVD players, VTRs, or demodulators and converts them to a modulated RF output. Channel setting is simple via the front‑panel LED display and push‑button controls, and advanced features like SAW filtering with FCC group delay pre‑distortion help ensure superior adjacent‑channel performance and compliance with FCC Docket 21006 aeronautical frequency offset requirements.
