Page 3: Safety And Operating Instructions
The A-QAMOS-4CI converts digital satellite signals into QAM signals to transmit it in cable networks. In this case, up to 8 QAM channels from the available satellite IF signals are generated, which are attached via two inputs. Two Common Interface slots enab- les the use of up to 4 CA modules for the reception of scrambled satellite signals/ programms. -
