Chapter 1 - Introduction
Product Overview
The MultiSat Control Panel (MCP) and HDTV converter enable your
TracVision antenna to receive HDTV programming from DIRECTV’s
specially configured 110 satellite, in addition to DIRECTV’s 101 and
119 satellites.
MultiSat Control Panel (MCP)
The MultiSat Control Panel (MCP) allows you to control the
TracVision antenna through a simple user interface consisting of an
LCD and three buttons (see Figure 1-2). Now you can easily configure
the antenna, select satellites, check system status, and restart the
antenna right from the MCP.

The MCP connects to your TracVision system via two data cables (see
Figure 1-3). The MCP also connects to the HDTV converter and
primary receiver to provide the HDTV control signal, as required, to
switch to the DIRECTV 110 satellite. Complete installation instructions
are provided in the next chapter. System wiring diagrams for each
antenna/receiver configuration are provided in
