Figure 2-7: STRATA TCU
Where only digital or analog video transmission is desired, the
MPEG/COFDM or FMT modules may be installed in a TXU,
thereby eliminating the need for a TCU. The STRATA TX design
does not permit splitting digital and analog video modulator
modules between a TXU and a TCU.
A TCU may also consist of a stand-alone configuration whereby
either or both MPEG/COFDM and FMT modules may be used
independent of the TXU. This configuration permits use of a TCU
equipped with analog and/or digital video modulation modules
for a variety of signal input and output configurations, including a
digital option using NTSC or PAL composite video input and ASI
(digital) signal output.
2.3.3 STRATA ACU
For fixed or portable deployment applications, the STRATA TX
System may be powered by the optional AC to DC Converter
(ACU). See Figure 2-8.
Figure 2-8: AC to DC Converter
The ACU installs as part of an integrated stack for either tripod or
fixed applications. The ACU may also be used to power the TXU
or TCU only when a TXU and TCU are not co-located. In this
case, the TXU would receive DC power from the TCU or the
TCU would receive DC power from the TXU superimposed on
the coaxial cable connected between the units.
In standalone TXU or TCU operations, the optional ACU may be
used to supply DC power directly to the applicable unit. In the
case where a TXU and a TCU are co-located, it is recommended
that both the TXU and TCU be powered directly from the ACU in
lieu of supplying DC power from the TCU to the TXU or from the
TXU to the TCU via the coaxial cable connected between the
units.
2.3.4 STRATA Remote Control Panels
For mobile or airborne operations, two Remote Control Panel
models are currently available. Contact your Sales
Representative for the latest information.
