Introduction 
The Models 9825M and 9825S Modulators and Model 9815 Rear 
Interface Module (RIM) are Scientific-Atlanta’s latest additions to our 
well-known product family of Continuum
 Headend Systems.  The 
Continuum Headend System product family provides users with a 
vertically oriented, compact, full-featured ensemble of headend 
functions.  Continuum products give today’s video information 
providers an integrated, high-performance platform for many vital 
headend applications. 
 
Description 
The Models 9825M (mono) and 9825S (stereo) Modulators have been 
specifically designed to provide support for versatile system 
architectures where space saving efficiency is of major importance.  
The Model 9825M Modulator is a full-featured modulator that provides 
a monaural NTSC television signal on any selected CATV channel 
between 50-870 MHz.  The Model 9825S Modulator has an integrated 
BTSC stereo encoder that mounts internally, in place of the mono 
audio board.  It is designed for cable television headends that must 
encode locally originated or satellite-delivered stereo audio 
programming in BTSC stereo format.  An optional SAP (Second Audio 
Program) circuit is also available as an integrated feature. 
 
The Models 9825M and 9825S Modulators utilize some of the latest advancements in Scientific-Atlanta technology.  
Both models provide a new upconverter design that contains a custom ASIC (Application Specific Integrated 
Circuit).  The use of ASIC technology allows the upconverter section of the modulator to consume approximately 
half the power and is less than half the size of traditional upconverter circuits.  The new design maintains excellent 
RF performance with the added benefit that it can tune from 50-870 MHz in a single device.  The Model 9825S 
Modulator stereo version integrates a true DSP (Digital Signal Processing) BTSC Stereo Encoder and optional SAP 
module into the modulator.  The use of DSP technology for stereo encoding provides unprecedented improvements 
in stereo separation and distortion that were previously unachievable.  Furthermore, by digitally generating the 
audio subcarrier, no critical calibration of the BTSC signal will ever be required. 
 
The Models 9825M and 9825S Modulators process a baseband video and audio signal to produce a VSB signal at 
a selected CATV channel frequency.  At its inputs, a fully equipped Model 9825S Modulator can accept any NTSC 
standard video input plus mono, left, right, and SAP baseband audio.  Other available inputs include 4.5 MHz audio 
subcarrier and an external IF port that can accept either digital or composite IF (analog) signals.  The Model 9825M 
Modulator can be used with external stereo encoders or can be upgraded to a Model 9825S Modulator with the 
installation of a stereo encoder upgrade kit. 
 
Note: Model 9811/9814 Controller Modules are required to take advantage of the additional features and 
capabilities of the Series 9825 Modulators.  Existing Continuum Model 9810/9813 Controllers can be upgraded to 
be compatible with Series 9825 equipment.  Contact Scientific-Atlanta factory service for details.
