Vislink Strata RX Technical Reference Manual page 16

• RXU + RCU
- The RXU contains only the RF front end and
switchable IF filters, and provides a 70 MHz IF output.
- The RCU contains either an NTSC or PAL
demodulator (but not both), and provides either NTSC
or PAL composite video output with 4 channels of
analog audio.
- The RCU also contains a Low Pass Filter, which is
always in the video signal path.
- Used for situations where the RCU and RXU must be
deployed in different locations up to 600' (200 m)
apart.
The analog demodulation (NTSC or PAL) is specified when
ordering the RXU or RCU, and cannot be changed in the field.
RF + Digital Demodulation If you need both RF and digital
demodulation functions, you once again can choose from two
solutions:
• Standalone RXU
- The RXU contains the RF front end with switchable IF
filters, a COFDM demodulator, and can also include
an MPEG decoder.
- The RXU provides either composite or digital video
output, with either digital or analog audio (or both).
- Ideal for minimizing space and weight.
• RXU + RCU
- The RXU contains only the RF front end with
switchable IF filtering, and provides a 70 MHz IF
output.
- The RCU contains a COFDM demodulator and can
include an MPEG decoder. When equipped with an
Strata RX Operator's Guide/Tech Ref Manual
MPEG decoder, the system also includes a color bar
generator.
- The RCU provides either composite or digital video
output, with either digital or analog audio (or both).
- Used for situations where the RCU and RXU must be
deployed in different locations up to 600' (200 m)
apart.
RF + Analog + Digital Demodulation If you need the capability
to switch between analog and digital operation, your RX system
will have both an RXU and an RCU.
• RXU + RCU
- The RXU contains only the RF front end with
switchable IF filtering, and provides a 70 MHz IF
output.
- The RCU contains a COFDM demodulator, and can
include an MPEG decoder. When equipped with an
MPEG decoder, the system also includes a color bar
generator.
- The RCU provides either composite or digital video
output, with either digital or analog audio (or both).
- The RCU also contains either an NTSC or PAL
demodulator (but not both), and provides either NTSC
or PAL composite video output with 4 channels of
analog audio.
- The RCU also contains a Low Pass Filter, which is
always in the video signal path.
- Also allows the RCU and RXU to be deployed in
different locations up to 600' (200 m) apart.
The analog demodulation (NTSC or PAL) is specified when
ordering the RCU, and cannot be changed in the field.
