Continuum DVP™ Model D9640
Advanced Transmodulator
Advanced Transmodulator
Description
The Continuum DVP™ Model D9640 Advanced Transmodulator is a
new generation professional transmodulator combining the best RF
specification with extended transport stream processing and
monitoring in a stackable 1 RU device. Blocking services, changing
PSI/SI information, monitoring of the incoming signal after the
satellite reception and much more is now standard in every D9640
transmodulator.

transmodulator.
Excellent RF specifications are very important in every cable
environment. But many times small changes have to be made to the signal prior to modulation. This can be as simple as
inserting a new NIT table or blocking services and components, thus regenerating most of the SI-tables (including EIT table).
The D9640 was designed to combine the high requirements of SI-processing together with high-end QPSK reception and
QAM modulation. As a bonus, monitoring of the incoming transport stream is added. This includes most of the TR 101 290
errors, bit rate measurement on the incoming services and a PSI/SI viewer.

The RF modulation of the D9640 supports a full range of variable bit rates, signal bandwidths and QAM constellations, while
the output up-converter is fully agile allowing any output frequency.
the output up-converter is fully agile allowing any output frequency.
The D9640 has a graphical user interface based on Java technology. This creates a user friendly environment and limits the
learning curve and training costs. Additionally, the QPSK demodulation and QAM modulation parameters can be easily
changed from the front. The unit works stand alone but also fits into Scientific-Atlanta’s total management solution, ROSA™.
This creates a high integration of the D9640 into the complete digital solution and network. Backup scenarios are supported
together with both the ROSA Network Management System as well as the ROSA Element Manager.
