CHP Max5000 1 GHz Forward Transmitter—The CHP Max5000 Advanced 1 GHz Transmitter Suite will enable broadband service providers to increase forward capacity for HDTV over previous program offerings, thereby allowing typically 40% increase over current HDTV channels in a lineup. C-COR’s revolutionary variable optical output power range enables operators to reduce spare inventory up to 60 percent, reduce the need for optical attenuators, and account for unexpected link loss during system implementation. These benefits translate into significant CapEx and OpEx savings, and provide maximum flexibility for deploying advanced interactive services. The 1GHz Transmitter’s dual-input capability provides isolation that is much superior to alternative offerings, enabling simultaneous advanced service deployment of video and telephony without cross-talk impairments. In addition, integral high isolation eliminates having to add external devices to achieve similar performance, thereby lowering CapEx even further and reducing system complexity.
