2.2 Product Application & Description Application: HDE-1C-QAM (MPEG-2 HD Encoder – 1xComponent/Composite – 1xQAM + 1xIP) accepts one (1) high-definition (HD) program from a component input or (1) standard definition (SD) from a composite video input. MPEG-2 encoded outputs are available in the following formats simultaneously: 1xQAM and 1xIP (100/1000Base-T Ethernet). The QAM RF output is frequency agile over the entire CATV frequency range of 5-1002 MHz (channels T7 to T14, 2 to 158) with an output level of +40 dBmV. - Page 7 LED is Green = AC power is detected. LED is Off = indicates (i) AC power is not connected, or (ii) AC power is connected but the power supply or encoder is defective. The unit must be sent to Blonder Tongue for repair for condition (ii). REMOTE CONTROL 100/1000: RJ45 connector for 100/1000 Ethernet interface for monitoring and configuring the unit.
