L1600 Ultra Compact Encoder-Modulator

The L1600 is a compact rugged encoder / modulator, including a high quality ultra low delay MPEG-2 encoder with integral DVB-T or LMS-T modulator. The L1600 can also be upgraded for DVB-S / DVB-S2 operation for use with the L band output module in embedded DSNG applications. The L1600 is generally used in applications where front panel control is not practical. It is thus ideally suited to helicopter or embedded DSNG solutions. Control of the L1600 is by built-in web browser or RS232. The output can be set to ‘Off’, ‘Clean Reduced’, ‘Clean Nominal’ and ‘Modulated’. The output modulator is a swappable unit available in a variety of frequency bands including:

  • L Band
    • 950-1,750MHz (includes Phantomed 10MHz reference)
    • 1,435-1,520MHz
  • S Band
    • 1.95-2.70GHz
    • 3.20-3.60GHz
  • C Band
    • 5.2-5.95GHz
    • 6.425-7.125GHz
    • 6.80-7.50GHz

      • The L1600 is fully software upgradeable in the field for a variety of options.
