Radiant Combines Encoder, Digital Channel Groomer

Radiant Communications' Eclipse QRF5000 with Integrated DeQAM fits in one RU and features a built-in encoder, QAM modulator and RF up-converter. It can support the insertion of local channels in place of existing channels within a 6 MHz QAM channel. It can also remove QAM services to allow local baseband video and audio channels to be encoded into QAM signals via a built-in modulator. It is available in single and dual channel versions and can expand to multiple channels with Radiant's QRF5010 expansion unit. It works with current and legacy set-top cable boxes.
