Spectra™ – 
QAM Demodulator 
 
 
Description 
The Spectra™ demodulator is a compact QAM demodulator, which can 
be used for applications where access is needed to the digital stream. 
Examples are transport stream processing, monitoring and analog re-
transmission. 
 
A version is available for DVB (ITU-A), OpenCable (ITU-B) and Japan 
(ITU-C). 
 
Up to 7 different modules can be mounted into the Galaxy™ subrack 
without forced cooling, expandable to 12 modules in case a blower unit 
has been mounted under the chassis. 
 
The operator may control the unit locally from the front panel using the 
push buttons and LCD or remotely using the ROSA™ management 
system.
