The ST-8802 is a 32-Channel Digital TV Channel Filtering Optimizer/Encoder designed to capture up to 32 terrestrial or cable TV channels and deliver multiplexed TV signals over a coax network. This device acts as a programmable terrestrial TV and cable TV channel filter, combiner, converter, equalizer, and amplifier.
The primary function of the ST-8802 is to process and combine multiple TV channels from various input sources into a single, amplified output signal suitable for distribution over a coax network to multiple TVs. It can capture and compose up to 32 TV channels to create a multiplexed output channel plan, incorporating Automatic Gain Control (AGC) for consistent signal levels. The device supports all major TV standards, including ATSC, DVB-T, ISDB-T(b), and DVB-C, with selectable channel bandwidths of 6, 7, or 8 MHz.
The ST-8802 is designed to replace several components in the TV signal delivery path, such as channel boosters, filters, and frequency converters, offering a compact and cost-effective solution. It features four input ports, each with an integrated preamplifier and a 12 VDC antenna power supply, allowing for flexible input configurations. The output power level is adjustable between 33 and 53 dBmV, enabling it to drive signal coverage for multiple televisions.
The device can also work in conjunction with HDMI to RF modulators to combine multiple HDMI video channels with terrestrial or cable TV channels, providing a versatile solution for various application scenarios.
