starBOX RF Hub
INSTALLATION AND USER INSTRUCTIONS
This starBOX hub allows the installation of a modern radio and television
distribution system. Using a simple radial star-wiring concept, the starBOX system
can distribute analogue and digital broadcast signals to up to six outlets around
the home – a master outlet, plus up to five extension rooms. This ‘MDU’ version
of the starBOX is intended for use where the broadcast signals are supplied from
a shared-aerial and dish system in ‘multiple dwelling unit’ installations (e.g. in
flats) rather than for individual stand-alone home installations with their own
aerials.
In addition to distribution of incoming signals, the output channels from set-top
equipment such as satellite and digital receiver boxes, PVRs, DVD players or
recorders and VCRs at the master location are made available in all extension
rooms. Compatibility with remote control extender systems allows such equipment
to be controlled from one or more extension rooms using readily available
accessories.
An individual CCTV door or security camera (or similar auxiliary TV source) can
also be connected to the local system and can be viewed on any connected TV set
(this is in addition to any common CCTV channel which may be supplied to all
housing units by the feeding system).
Principles
This section provides a brief technical overview of the starBOX system.
Inputs
The proSTR5M starBOX is for use in conjunction with an aerial and dish-sharing
system using satellite multiswitches. The following inputs are provided:
n IRS 1 – this is the main input from the feeding distribution system. This feed
will usually come from the output of a multiswitch in an integrated reception
system (IRS) carrying FM radio (Band II), DAB digital radio (Band III), UHF
analogue and digital TV (Bands IV & V) and a switchable satellite IF feed.
n IRS 2 – this input is provided for use when a second satellite feed is required,
e.g. for a twin-tuner PVR, such as Sky+*. Where this input is used a second
IRS feed from a separate multiswitch output will be required. (It is not possible
to ‘split’ a single multiswitch output since the second satellite feed must be
independently switchable for frequency band and polarisation.)
n CCTV (UHF) – this is a separate local UHF input and allows connection of an
auxiliary source such as a camera. The input must be a modulated UHF signal:
sources which provide baseband audio and video (CVBS) must be connected
via a separate UHF modulator.
