BTSC Stereo Encoder
High quality, low noise
MTS/BTSC stereo encoder is
compatible with most commercially available modulators
Baseband audio inputs into
BTSC stereo format audio output for simple installation
Video loop synchronization
locks audio to video frame rate,
reducing delay associated with
other encoder types
Mini-chassis version (MPC-SE)
also available for use with
MPCM45 and MPCMA
mini-chassis modulators
Greater than 20dB (500 Hz to 5
kHz) stereo separation
Simple no adjustment plug-andplay operation eliminates time
intensive set up procedures
Power LED indicator provides at
a glance verification of operation
Ultra compact design connects
directly to modulator eliminating
the need for additional rack space
Micro chip encoder and surface
mount components provide
increased reliability
Un-balanced audio inputs
provide maximum compatibility
with all receivers and
programming sources
External transformer power
supply reduces heat build up in
encoder providing prolonged
product life

PM-SE
BTSC Stereo Encoder
The Pico Macom PM-SE MTS/BTSC stereo encoder transforms baseband
left and right stereo audio into composite BTSC encoded signal for introduction
into Pico Macom’s line of quality modulators. The microchip stereo encoder
combines the best of analog and digital techniques for fantastic performance.
Designed for optimum stereo separation and spectral cleanliness this
encoder will provide the performance required for rebroadcast of television
channels such as music, premium and pay per view where stereo sound
enhances the entertainment experience. Designed for simple installation
and operation the ultra compact design, machined F port connections with
color coded inserts and external power supply make the PM-SE the most
convenient stereo encoder available. Pico Macom’s PM-SE encoder now
enables all system operators the ability to provide true stereo TV sound at a
fraction of the cost. The PM-SE is the ideal solution for upgrade of system
capabilities and subscriber service packages, increasing overall customer
satisfaction and increasing system revenues.
