Triax Multiswitches

TRIAX - your ultimate connection

Weve got multiswitches for all your needs.

Now lets help you pick the right one.
What exactly do you need a multiswitch for? From a technical point of view, it enables many set-top box users to share a single dish/LNB installation and cabling. All users will enjoy a full digital signal quality - from satellite to set-top box. And from an aesthetical and practical point of view, multi switches can help you avoid many dishes on a building. In addition, you get the following features with set-top box and multiswitch installations: Full DVD-picture quality, full DVD/CD-sound quality, real 16:9 picture format, high definition capability and surround sound. When should you use a multiswitch? The number of satellite positions and polarities, along with user/subscriber outputs, determine the right choice of multiswitch for you. People often ask us if its possible to receive signals from more than one satellite position. The answer is yes. Solutions exist for one to four individual satellite positions. If you want more than one position, please look for the multiswitch solutions that include a DiSEqCswitch. Another frequently asked question concerns the distribution of different signals. Can terrestrial and cable signals be distributed via a multiswitch that already provides satellite signals? Yes they can. Most of the time, both co-exist on the same cable. If you need to expand or change an installation in the future, you can generally apply new products to existing systems saving you both time and money. And despite their advanced and complex technical qualities, all Triax products are designed to be easy to install and use.

Whenever more than four users have their

own individual set-top box and need a shared dish.

When many channels are required. When users live within a relatively short
distance of the dish and each other.

TMM Cascade Multiswitches

The dos and donts of multiswitch installations

Often the main reason people install a multiswitch system is to get access to a vast number of TV channels. In the UK you can potentially enjoy some 3-4000 channels in just one installation. Triax offers you a professional range of multiswitches to meet your needs ranging from large cascadable systems for up to 16 polarities and many users to single position multiswitches with a small number of users. Below weve put together a short list to assist in your installations.

Dont make compromises at the dish/antenna

Always use a dish size as large as possible. Signal level gained here is basically free, compared to what you may need to amplify later. Go for maximum performance and signal level and quality out of the dish and LNB.

Always carefully adjust the output level of line ampliers

Whatever you do, NEVER just set line amplifiers for maximum output. Remember the more transponders you use, the lower output level you have from the amplifier to avoid intermodulation distortion.

Aim for symmetrical designs

When you design large installations, keep the distribution network balanced and symmetrical by starting with the dish, go half way down the building, then split upwards and downwards.

Always use thickest possible cable in the trunk and thinner on drops
The only way you can minimise large signal losses along a cable is to use a better, often thicker, cable. Avoid amplifiers as far as possible and keep cascading amplifiers to a minimum.

Keep subscriber drops as short as possible

If using one single multiswitch unit forces you to run excessively long subscriber cables then you should break it up into more, smaller units and let the trunk take care of the distances.

Be part of the decision-making team from an early stage

All too often, important decisions are made before the installer is contacted to install a complex multiswitch system. If you can influence these decisions you are improving your chances of a successful installation.

Keep long cable runs in the trunk, not in subscriber cables

Remember, if you have long subscriber cables, the cable loss itself may force you to use a very high-level signal in the multiswitch just to compensate.

What we mean by...

Azimuth see (Satellite) Position 13 VDC selects vertical polarity. Your set-top box usually powers your LNB and when you select a direct current of approximately 13 volts to reach the LNB it automatically receives vertical polarity signals only. 18 VDC selects horizontal polarity. Your set-top box usually powers your LNB and when you select a direct current of approximately 18 volts to reach the LNB it automatically receives horizontal polarity signals only. 22 kHz switches between High or Low Band. Lets your set-top box tell your LNB to pick the High Band frequency range whenever 22 kHz is present as switching tone/indicator and the Low Band when it isnt. For more on this, please see DiSEqC below. Backbone see Trunk or Cascade Cascade a chain of multiswitches. You build a cascade, when you link two or more multi switches together in a chain with the first serving as signal source for the next in line. Cables connecting cascaded multiswitches are often called the trunk or backbone. DiSEqC lets you switch between satellite positions. The Digital Sequence Equipment Control, or simply DiSEqC switch, makes it possible for you to receive signals from more than one satellite position. Dependent on how exactly the 22 kHz tone/indicator is transmitted, this switch determines from which satellite position youll be picking up signals. Dish collects and focuses satellite signals. Transponders on a satellite send out electromagnetic radiation which is then picked up by a satellite dish on Earth. The signal collected by the dish is then reflected to a focal point where the antenna, or LNB, is placed. Elevation viewing the satellite at the right angle. Specifies the angle of the satellite to the horizon. At the Equator this gives you an elevation of 90 degrees. In Central Germany its 32. In Denmark 26 and in Central Sweden its down to 15 degrees. Footprint ground area covered by signal. The shape and size of an area on Earth where one specific transponder can be received. Footprints vary from simple, circular shapes to highly complex outlines following geographical shapes on the Earths surface. Headend - The equipment which follows the dish and aerial array enabling all signals to be processed and launched into the distribution system at the required levels.

High Band - Frequencies from a European satellite transponder range between 11.7 and 12.75 GHz. IRS Integrated Reception System A TV distribution system which distributes satellite and terrestrial signals to all points. Low Band - Frequencies from a European satellite transponder range between 10.7 and 11.7 GHz. LNB converting and amplifying high frequencies. Satellites transmit signals at high frequencies. When a band of satellite signals get reflected by a dish they merge in a focal point where the antenna, or Low Noise Block Converter (called LNB or LNC), is placed. The LNB then down-converts and amplifies the signals, effectively placing them in the useful and convenient 950-2150 MHz Satellite IF range. Polarity using the same frequency twice. Most satellite transponders transmit frequencies in both horizontal and vertical directions. The 90 degree difference in radiation angle called horizontal and vertical polarity isolates the frequencies from each other and prevents interference. Benefit? You can use the same frequency twice ultimately doubling the number of TV channels available. In Europe, High and Low Band frequencies are used. And since both come with horizontal and vertical polarity this means that, in total, a satellite transmits four polarities. In the United States and the Pacific, usually only two-polarity satellites are used. (Satellite) Position plotting the orbit also known as Azimuth, this is the geographical position of the satellite orbit relative to Greenwich; which is designated the zero position. Now, counting from zero, you can relate satellites to either a specific east or west position e.g. Astra 19.2 degrees east or Thor 0.8-1 degrees west. Terrestrial TV and Radio signals in the frequency range 88-862 MHz transmitted from land based transmitters. Transponder transmitting electromagnetic radiation. Another name for the transmitter antennas on a satellite. Each satellite can have more than fifty transponders transmitting on individual frequencies. Trunk cables in a cascade also known as the backbone, the trunk refers to cables running between multiswitches in cascade. Quattro LNB Used exclusively with multiswitches, this type of LNB gives you four outputs that are fixed individually to each of the four polarities i.e. Low Band, horizontal polarity; Low Band, vertical polarity; High Band, horizontal polarity; and High Band, vertical polarity. A Quattro LNB needs four cables, one for each polarity.
