Introduction
The PHILIPS PM5580 is a solid-state television IF-modulator which provides a modulated
-
crystal-controlled vision IF of 38.0,38.9,39.5 or 45.75MHz, and a modulated crystal-
controlled sound IF of 31.5,32.4,32.9, 33.4,33.5,34.4 or 4l.25MHz, depending on
the version. It is fitted with a switchable modulation meter to indicate the modulation
depth of the vision or sound IF signals.
The output is a vestigial side-band signal with phase pre-correction and switchable
phase pre-distortion. It is easily converted to provide a double side-band (DSB)
output.
The instrument specifications conform fully to those of black/white and colour
transmitters. The output signal may be fed to one or more VHF or UHF converters
type PM5581 to PM5582, to produce carrier frequencies in TV bands I, II, III, IV or V.
The PM5580 can either be used as part of a central distribution system in TV
factories, as a general purpose TV modulator in TV laboratories, or as a modulator
unit in TV transmitter and CATV stations.

2. Technical data
This instrument has been built and tested according to IEC publication 348 for Class I
instruments and has been supplied in a safe condition. The present Manual contains
instructions and warnings which should be followed by the purchaser to ensure safe
operation and to keep the instrument in a safe condition.
Properties expressed in numerical values with stated tolerances are quaranteed by us.
Numerical values without tolerances represent the properties of an averaqe instrument.
