INSTALLATION OF THE HARDWARE
1.1. Quattro LNB with multiswitch
1.2. Quad LNB
CONFIGURATION OF THE MODULE
The 9739 can be used with Quattro or Quad LNB types and will output in Legacy or SCR mode.
Schematically the units support the following modes and applications:
Outputs
| Quattro/Quad LNB | |
| Legacy | Universal multiswitch |
| SCR/SCR | SCR multiswitch |
2.1. Output: Legacy versus SCR
Independent of the selected input mode, the 2 lower output ports (SCR) can support Legacy and SCR/SCR STBs. The upper 2 output ports (Legacy) only support Legacy.
At startup, the SCR outputs work in Legacy mode and can be used as a universal multiswitch.
Upon receiving the first SCR command, the SCR outputs will automatically switch into SCR mode in which supports the following standards:
EN50494/SCR standard (DiSEqC 1.0)
STBs that only support EN50494 will only be able to use the first 4, user bands.
EN50607/dCSS/dSCR standard (DiSEqC 2.0)
STBs that support the newer EN50607 will be able to use the other 12 user bands (UB5 –UB16). This is typically for new multi-tuner STBs with 8 or 12 tuners, like SkyQ or other Home Media Gateways (HMG).
CONCURRENT EN50494/EN50607 standards
For upgrading existing SCR installations where the main STB is upgraded to Next Gen PVR (like SkyQ), the dSCR multiswitch can support both standards simultaneously. In this case, a mix of STBs can be supported:
- The existing STBs will use UB1 through UB4
- The new main STB will use UB5 through UB16
- In this case, DiSEqC 1.0 and DiSEqC 2.0 will be used over the same cable from LNB to the apartment
SKY UK standard
This is for Installations with the SKY Q-Box:
- SkyQ will have 16 user bands available
- Signaling DiSEqC 1.0 or 2.0 will be used.
For an overview, please see the table in chapter 3: Technical Specifications.
To return back to legacy mode, that output has to be reset. This can be done by removing the DC from the STB output connector. The 2 outputs are independent, so resetting (= empowering) 1 output does not affect the other output.
2.2. DC Power
Powering the units can be done in 2 ways:
- From STBs: each STB has to power its connected unit. In this case, the power for the LNB will also be taken from the STB.
- From DC IN: when connecting an external power supply to the 9739, the STBs do not need to power its connected unit.
A power supply (Ref 2460) is designed to power the dSCR multiswitch including the Quattro or Quad LNB.
