Applications
This equipment type was used in satellite uplink facilities for broadcast video transmission, teleconferencing, and data distribution over satellite networks. The modular design accommodates various signal processing configurations for video and subcarrier modulation. Scientific Atlanta equipment of this era was standard in teleport and network operations centers for C-Band transmission.
This Scientific Atlanta 7550A Up-Converter / 7550B Video Exciter has been visually inspected and appears to be in good cosmetic condition overall. It has not been powered on or tested at our facility and is being sold as-is. The chassis is intact, all plug-in modules are present and seated, and the front panel keypad and LED display appear undamaged. The rear cooling fan and wiring harness are intact. Some dust accumulation is visible on the rear fan and chassis interior, consistent with prior rack-mount service use. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
