Broadband Cable Networks 1(5) DVT913 TV CHANNEL CONVERTER General DVT913 is a TV Channel Converter for the DVX tend product family. It consists of an input down converter from to, a high selectivity part and an output upconverter from to. The converter has also an interface for versatile backup functions. The DVT913 has an input frequency range of 45 862 MHz and the output can be set anywhere between 47 862 MHz. The DVT913 is capable of adjacent output channel use. All parameters of the converter are fully programmable using the CATVisor Commander software. It is fully compatible with the DVX tend Headend System and can be installed into a standard DVX001 installation frame. Features High input selectivity and signal handling capability All input channels available 44 862 MHz High selectivity Manual gain control also possible Automatic switching and backup functions possible High accuracy output level, capable of adjacent output channel use (VSB) Monitoring functions Input signal level Pre-amplifier current output level Self diagnostic Remotely controlled parameters Input frequency Pre-amplifier voltage and load (ON/OFF, Voltage 12/24 V) Gain control (automatic/manual) Output frequency and level
