The IDLU-UWT110-CUO1O-32P is a Unicable 2 multiswitch with the smallest possible form factor, enabling installations with up to 32 set-top boxes via a single cable. The digital channel stacking technology uses fast broadband analog-to-digital converters and digital signal processing to select and bundle the desired transponder channels. The multiswitch supports both static and dynamic modes. In dynamic mode (default setting), up to 32 EN50607-compatible receivers (or up to 16 EN50494-compatible receivers) can be connected via the Unicable outputs to receive the desired transponder via its assigned user band. In static mode, the multiswitch outputs a predefined transponder to IF frequency assignment to the Unicable outputs and can thus connect up to 32 transponders (depending on the bandwidth of the desired transponders) in series. This allows an unlimited number of receivers to be connected to the multiswitch, making MDU installations significantly cheaper and easier than ever before.
The multiswitch has 4 satellite inputs that can receive and cascade either 4 universal satellite IF bands (LV, LH, HV, and HH) from one satellite feed or 2 broadband satellite IF bands (horizontal and vertical) from 2 satellite feeds. The unique feature of the multiswitch firmware allows 2 devices to be daisy-chained and their outputs to be connected via an external combiner, enabling the reception of up to 4 satellite feeds via 4 connected broadband satellite IF signals. It also has a terrestrial VHF/UHF input. The terrestrial signals are output via both outputs of the multiswitch. The terrestrial signal is not amplified.
The multiswitch has two outputs—upon delivery, one of the outputs is configured as a Unicable output in dynamic mode and the second operates as a universal/legacy output and switches to Unicable mode as soon as it receives an EN50494 or EN50607 signal. The operating mode and configuration of each connection—Unicable/universal, dynamic/static—output signal strength, channel bandwidth, number and protocol of user bands, center frequency, and functionality of each output are fully programmable using the Inverto Unicable2 Programmer and the accompanying PC software.
The multiswitch is powered by an external power supply and the power inserter, which ensures greater flexibility. Communication between the multiswitch and the connected Unicable receivers is in accordance with EN50494 and/or EN50607 and can be defined per user band, enabling installations consisting of either EN50494-capable or EN50607-compatible PVRs and next-generation HGWs.
Suitable for indoor and outdoor installations.
