Description 
  
 
 
The Model D9630 Advanced QAM Modulator, which is part of 
the Continuum DVP™ D9600 Advanced Headend Processor 
family, is a new generation professional QAM Modulator 
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 and much more is now 
standard in every Model D9630 Adavanced QAM Modulator. 
 
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 Model 
D9630 Advanced QAM Modulator was designed to combine the high requirements of SI-processing together 
with high end QAM modulation. Also monitoring of the incoming signal is added. This includes most of the TR 
101 290 errors, bit rate measurement on the incoming services and an interpreter PSI/SI viewer. 
 
The RF modulation of the Model D9630 Advanced QAM Modulator 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 Model D9630 Advanced QAM Modulator 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 QAM 
modulation parameters can be easily changed from the front. The unit fits into Scientific-Atlanta’s total 
management solution, ROSA™. This creates a high integration of the Model D9630 Advanced QAM 
Modulator 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.
