Input

There are 2 input sources: SAT-IN (which is a satellite L-Band signal) and IP-IN (a Transport Stream over IP
input). A factory installed optional ASI input is also available, and is set up under Menu: DVB-TS> INPUT.

SAT-IN

Different types of outdoor LNBs are supported. For easy setup, the Local Oscillator (LO) frequency can be
entered. However, when the STAR receiver is used with Netmanager control the LO frequency needs to be set
to 0 KHz, and all receiver frequencies need to be entered in the L-band range only.
NCC = Network Control Channel, which contains the network control data generated by IDC's Netmanager2.
Polarization in the Carrier definition menu's are only available when the LNB mode is set to "Universal".
The preferred carrier setting is useful when a transition to a carrier is needed. This function is also supported
and controlled by NCC. If only one Carrier setting is required the Prefered can be set to "Carrier A (or B) only.
