MT5100 VIDEOCASTER™
SINGLE-CHANNEL
UPCONVERTER
MICROMODULE
PRODUCT BRIEF
The MT5100 VideoCaster is a single-
channel upconverter designed to
reduce space, power and costs for
Video-on-Demand (VOD), Satellite
Master Antenna Television networks
(SMATV) and low-cost upconverter
solutions.
MT5100 Upconverter MicroModule
The Microtune® MT5100
VideoCaster is a high-quality, fully
tested, frequency agile upconverter
solution designed specifically for
high-density and low-cost
upconverter systems.
The subsystem converts an IF
signal with a bandwidth of up to
16 MHz (two adjacent IF signals)
and centered at an intermediate
frequency of 36.125 MHz or
44.00 MHz to any RF output
frequency between 50 MHz and
860 MHz. The output level can be
adjusted in step sizes of 0.1 dB
between 45 dBmV and 58 dBmV.
The VideoCaster micromodule
reduces development time for
designers by providing a fully-tested
upconverter module and reference
control software that can simplify
integration into new or existing
networks.
