IMPORTANT ADVICE

• This version of multiswitch can work with quads as well as quatro LNBs
• Best results on terrestrial are achieved when using a grouped (e.g. Group B) rather than wide band UHF aerials
• On terrestrial, it may be necessary to use a launch amplifier to boost signal (This is true for 16 & 32 output units)

USES of 5x9 Satellite & Terrestrial MultiSwitch

• Used in conjunction with a Quatro or quad LNB and a 80cm dish to distribute the satellite and sometimes Terrestrial TV signal to a number a number of TV points
• Capable of giving good results on both Satellite and Terrestrial output.

Used extensively in

• Hotels
• Apartment blocks
• Retirement villages

How 4 Input LNBs & Multiswitch Work

• Used in conjunction with a quad or quattro LNB (normally mounted on an 80cm dish) who's 4 outputs are broken into
  • Vertical (High & Low)
  • Horizontal (High & Low)
• Multiswitch Inputs
  • Satellite: 4 from satellite - from either a quad or Quatro LNB
  • Terrestrial: Single feed covering full VHF / UHF spectrum
• Multiswitch Outputs
  • Outputs: 9 outputs to satellite receivers
• At the TV Point
  • Use a faceplate to split the signal into satellite and terrestrial

ADVANTAGES of 5x9 Satellite & Terrestrial MultiSwitch

• This unit with a single 80cm satellite dish can feed a small apartment block
• Works well with both satellite & terrestrial signals
• Can be very cost efficient on small sized commercial jobs
• This multiswitch is part of Whyte's top of the range multiswitches
• Features Trunk EQ
• Inbuilt LTE filter
• LED power indicator
• Colour coded inputs and outputs
• Tap outputs on top of unit for easy access
• Auxiliary 18V Input injects power to SAT lines
• This industry first enables longer cascades to be created for Quattro or Wideband IRS distribution systems

DISADVANTAGES of 5x9 Satellite & Terrestrial MultiSwitch

• A Sky dish with an Octo LNB is more practical for small jobs requiring less than 8 satellite feeds and no terrestrial signal
• Alignment and setup can be very complicated and frustrating - possibly not for the DIYer
• Need to plan properly and use high quality cable CT100 or CT165 if it is to work correctly through a large scheme
• Maximum limit of this unit is 9 outputs or 4 Sky+HD receivers, which often is not sufficient
• Will not support Sky Q, we have alternative product for this
