Digital devices DVB-S / S2 products and single-cable systems?
The standard distribution technology in the satellite area is the so-called star distribution (satellite block distribution). Individual cables go from the LNB or the multiswitch to all end devices, this is the most common type of distribution. Although it leaves all options open, Unicable brings a whole new dimension to the cabling and use of satellite TV. Switching and / or expanding comfortably is no problem! When cabling under Unicable, the LNB or multiswitch is replaced or expanded (cascaded) - the existing cabling remains unaffected. Even former cable TV users will be so happy if they don't want to or can't lay new cables. The Unicable system (single cable solution) needs receivers, TV sets and TV tuners that support the protocol according to DIN EN 50494. All standard end devices have implemented Unicable support, older receivers can be updated via firmware update. Up to 8 (!) Receivers / tuners can be operated on one cable. A mixed operation of classic cabling and unicable can also be configured (legacy outputs). The support is provided by a driver, so that the TV software used does not have to include its own support for the single-cable system. Find out more (including video explanation)
