Replacement Modules
Troubleshooting to the component level is often not cost-efil‘ective and frequently
impossible. Often the practical method of effecting field repairs is to substitute known
good spare modules for suspect units. Nuccmm maintains an inventory of replacement
modules for its complete line of products.
Field Repair
Nucomm products are designed with easy access to components to facilitate service.
When troubleshooting the VT2 Transmitter, the user is cautioned to read all module
descriptions in this manual. Some Nucomm modules cannot be serviced in the field.
Warnings are included in the circuit descriptions and on certain modules themselves,
however the lack of a warning cannot be construed as a statement of safety. To prevent
voiding of the Nucomm warranty that protects the equipment, please contact Nucornin
before servicing or making any repairs.
Shipping Damage
Equipment shipped FOB Nucomm, Inc; shall become the property of buyer upon
delivery to and receipt from carrier. Any damage in shipment should be handled by the
buyer directly with the carrier. [immediately request the carrier’s inspection upon
evidence of damage in shipment.
Do not return any Nucomm product to the factory until a return authorization (RA)
number has been given, along with shipping instructions, as discussed previously.

NewsCaster VT2 Descrtgtion
1. DESCRIPTION
Nucomm’s NewrCaster VT2 series is a two
box Digital and Analog ENG/OB Microwave
Transmitter System. The Mast Mounted
Microwave Transmitter is designed to operate
in any specified band in the 1.00 to 15.5 GHz
fi'equency range. Each unit is field
programmable and configurable to meet a
wide range of customer requirements
The NewsCaster VT2 consists of two boxes,
the Mast Mount Transmitter and 19” Control
unit. The two are connected with a single RG-
6 coax (or optional Triax), which carries the
70 MHZ IF, Control Data and typically also
the DC power. However, some cable types
require the use of an auxiliary power cable.
(Refer to Table 1)
Highlighted features include 6 Quick-Key
presets that allow single button operation,
integrated dynamic color bars, super low delay
MPEG, multiple modulation modes, and
capable of transporting HD. Special menus
have been included to ease the BAS relocation
process.
The NewsCarrer VT2 is fully integrated with
an Analog FM modulator, compliant super-
low delay MPEG 2 Encoder and Multimode
Digital Modulator. Available modulations
include FM (NTSC / PAL), COFDM, and
optional single carrier QAM, and VSB. As
additional digital modulation formats become
available, the VT2 can be easily updated
This makes the VT2 extremely flexible while
greatly reducing circuit complexity.
Other available options include Pan & Tilt
control, lOWatt Digital Power Amplifier,
remote control and monitoring, multi-band
operation and many other features and
options.
This manual is written in a general form to
cover all configurations and options for the
NewsCaster VT2 within the l.00 to
15.5 GHz frequency range.
The checklist on the front cover of this manual
gives the specified fiequency channel
assignments for the particular model. The
specific serial number is listed on the hem
cover sheet of this manual. The front cover
sheet of this manual also lists the detailed
configuration for this specific model and serial
numbered unit.

2. FEATURES
Nucornm’s NewsCaster VT2 Series Digital-
Analog ENG/OB Microwave Transmitters
were designed with the BAS Relocation in
mind, and are the most comprehensive
ENG/OB radios in the world. The VT2
features both Analog and Digital operation1
and is optimized for ENG/OB truck
applications.
In the Digital mode, the NewsCaster VT2 will
accept SDI, ASI, or Composite video signals.
and digitally compresses them using a 4:2:2 or
41210 MIPEGZ encoder. This signal is then
internally modulated using one of the
available modulation formats: COFDM, or
optional QAM or VSB. (Refer to Figure 1).
The NewsCasrer VT2 can also accept
externally modulated signals via the 70 MHz
Input Port.
The NewsCaster VT2 Control Unit contains
the Mulls-Mode 70 MHz modulator (FM,
COFDM, or optional VSB, and QAM), MPEG
Encoder, Control interface, and Power Supply.
The 70 MHZ IF, +45VDC, and Control Data
are typically sent up a 75 Q cable (50 Q
optional), via a Nycoil assembly, to feed the
mast-mounted RF Unit next to the antenna.
Many state—of-the-an options are available,
some not found on any other ENG/OB
Transmitters.
The Nucomm NewsCaster VT2 Series of
ENG/OB transmitters are available in single,
and dual models. This manual covers all the
models in the NewsCaster VT2 series. Refer
to the front cover of this manual for the bands
available in your specific configuration.
The multi—band unit provides full coverage of
the 2/25 and 7 GHz bands. Band and
channel selections are clearly viewed and
controlled w‘a the front panel LCD interface.
M17-0002400A Rev 4 15
The rugged NewsCasrer VT2 RF Head (Figure
15 & Figure 17) includes the power amplifier,
up-conveiter, and low noise frequency
synthesizer, encased in a weatherproof
enclosure that mounts on the antenna pan and
tilt, replacing the conventional power
amplifier. This setup combines precise tuning
of the transmitter frequency with exceptional
output power. The RF unit is equipped with a
type “N” connectors for the directional and
optional omnidirectional antennas For Dual-
Band systems, the RF unit has may have as
many as four type “N” connectors: two for 2
GHz operation, and two for 7 GHz operation.
Frequency Coverage
The Nucomm NewsCasrer VT2 is available in
single, dual and muld~band models. The chart
on the from cover of this manual lists the
frequencies covered for the indicated serial
numbered unit. Channel selecn'on is
accomplished through the front panel LCD
controls.
Prime Power
All NewrCaster VT? mast mounted
transmitters feature a built-in AC power
.. supply, which operates on AC power ranging
from 90 to 260 VAC and 40 to 60 Hz. The
NewsCaster VT2 automatically adapts to the
input voltage without requiring internal
jumpers or switch settings The NewsCaster
VT2 is also available in a DC powered unit
using +11 to +32 VDC.
Audio Sub-carriers
Two (four optional) field programmable
synthesized audio sub-carriers feature
individual LINE/OFF/TON'E source selection.
The sub-carrier frequencies, Mode, and
additional gain are fiont panel adjustable
using the LCD interface.

Standby Mode
In the Standby mode, the NewsCarter VT2 is
powered on, but the RF output is muted,
enabling the Transmitter to be tuned safely
without radiating off-frequency emissions.
The NewsCaster VT2 will remain in Standby
until err-frequency lock has been obtained.
Switching from Standby to the Normal
(operating) mode results in instantaneous on-
frequency transmission. Ifthe synthesizer has
not attained lock when the Standby switch is
switched to Normal, the unit will remain in
Standby until tin-frequency lock has been
obtained.
Signal-Strength Indicators
Transmitted signal strength is indicated on the
LCD display by a digital readout. The digital
readout indicates the transmitted signal level
in dBm, as well as the transmit mode (Analog
or Digital). This is intended as only an
approximate reading of power.
