1 Uses
The multi-switches of the GigaSwitch 9/8 series serve to provide satellite IF signals as well
as terrestrial signals for up to 16 parties.
Distribution examples include the following:
> the full bandwidths of two satellites (analogue and digital programmes of the Astra
19,2° and Eutelsat 13° East satellites)
or
> eight freely selectable polarisation planes.
In the satellite band, the branch switches have a slope-rectified amplification/gain, so that
distances of up to 100 metres can be bridged without any need for additional equipment.
The slope-rectified gain system for terrestrial signals is secure for the future, and can distri-
bute DVB-T signals effectively even in areas receiving a weak signal.
Use the mains power adapter supplied to make the connection to mains power. If the
GigaSwitch 9/8 G is used without a cascade matrix, it is recommended that the energy-
savings switch be set to on.
Please note:
When using a Cascade GigaSwitch 9/8 K, the energy-savings option must
be switched off!
