Abstract:
An integrated receiver/mixer system for the processing and transmission of digitally encoded information, comprising:a. at least one receiver including (i) a first means for the wireless reception of a digitally encoded intelligence signal, (ii) a second means for receiving and processing both (a) a digitally encoded control signal from a remote location for establishing first preselected receiver parameters, and (b) a digitally encoded reference signal from the same remote location for establishing second preselected receiver parameters, (iii) third means for digitally processing said intelligence signal, control signal and reference signal to provide a combined digital output signal of the received intelligence and receiver status, and (iv) fourth means for transmitting said combined digital output signal; b. a mixer at said remote location, said mixer including (i) means for generating and outputting said digitally encoded reference and control signals to said receiver, (ii) means for inputting the combined digital output signal being transmitted from said receiver, and (iii) a status screen for displaying receiver status information; c. (i) a first cable connection between the output of said mixer and said second means of said receiver, (ii) a second cable connection between said fourth means of said receiver and the input of said mixer, whereby said mixer at a location remote from said receiver controls the operation of said receiver via the digitally encoded signal transmitted to said receiver through said first cable, and the combined digital output signal of said receiver is transmitted to said mixer through said second cable.
