The Blonder Tongue AP-60-860A (Agile Digital/Analog Processor) operates in one of the three following modes: Mode 1: Analog Heterodyne Processor (Analog RF IN > Analog RF OUT) Mode 2: Digital Heterodyne Processor (QAM IN > QAM OUT) Mode 3: Digital-to-Analog Processor (8VSB or QAM IN > Analog RF OUT).

Blonder Tongue AQM
Blonder Tongue AQM
The Blonder Tongue AQM is designed to accept an MPEG- 2 ASI (Asynchronous Serial Interface) digital transport stream and modulate it into a QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) signal. The Blonder Tongue QAM modulator in the AQM achieves stateofthe- art performance with capabilities to improve bandwidth efficiency by supporting advanced QAM modes like 256, 512 & 1024 QAM.

Blonder Tongue AQP
Blonder Tongue AQP
The Blonder Tongue AQP (ATSC/QAM Processor) accepts one input in 8VSB (digital off-air) or QAM (digital cable) format, including the sub-band QAM input channels T7 to T13, and delivers one output in QAM format in the 54-864 MHz range.AQP can be utilized in a remote headend to “regenerate” a clean QAM channel from a degraded one. It also allows TV sets to receive digital off-air programming on CATV channel assignments by transmodulating the 8VSB broadcast to QAM.It can also be utilized in remote digital origination applications, where the QAM channel needs to be delivered to the headend via the sub-band frequencies.

Blonder Tongue AQT
Blonder Tongue AQT
The Blonder Tongue AQT Transcoder is a modular unit that receives either an 8VSB (Off-air Digital) or QAM (CATV Digital) signal, and transcodes it to any CATV QAM channel. The transcoding enables televisions with QAM digital tuners to seamlessly view the 8VSB Off-air digital signals on cable television frequency assignments without having to change the television tuner input from ‘CATV’ mode to ‘Off-Air’ mode. The input digital signal is stripped of it’s original digital modulation (8VSB or QAM), leaving just the basic data stream. The Blonder Tongue AQT then creates a new, clean QAM carrier and reinserts the original data stream on to this new QAM carrier. If the original channel was encrypted, it will remain encrypted, if the original channel was in the clear, it will remain in the clear. The only modification to the original data stream that is performed is changing the data rate when converting an 8VSB signal to a QAM signal. This rate change is done via Null Packet processing and does not affect the encryption in any way. The regeneration of a new, clean QAM signal is also useful for digital ‘cherry-picking’ from an existing digital channel line-up, or ‘regenerating’ a channel for optimal Modulation Error Ratio (MER) performance.

Blonder Tongue BIDA Series

For 2-way operation, optional field installable diplexers and return amplifers are are used to provide either an active or passive 5-30 MHz return. Passive return configurations require only the diplexers, whereas active return requires installation of both the diplexers and the amplifier.
