Not familiar with this particular unit but for many years S&W have only made (and still make) high end broadcast grade kit. I can't imagine that anything they do is 405 capable by design. Because 625>405 conversion is technically trivial compared to what S&W converters are capable of I'm sure one of their designers could re-program the firmware to do 405 out but we're talking about VERY complex bits of equipment. Definitely not amateur hacking territory.

Certainly no modulators.
