Settings for the operating mode
Select the menu item of the Max S8 card from the left half of the window:
9.3.1
Quad LNB or 4 Multiswitch Outputs
Use this option if you want to connect your Max S8 to a normal multiswitch or LNB with integrated
multi-switch (QUAD LNB or OCTO LNB). For both cases, four SAT lines are required to provide a full-
featured and full reception (all four levels SAT).
9.3.2
Quattro LNB or Multiswitch cascade output (VL, VH, HL, HH)
Use this option if you want to connect your Max S8 to a multi-switch, which can be cascaded. Such
multi-switch have in addition to the inputs for a Quattro LNB, four outputs which are also known as
"cascade outputs". These outputs give only from a Quattro LNB received signals unaltered out again.
Alternatively, the four outputs can be directly used by a Quattro LNB without multiswitch.
»Note: A "Quad LNB" are called LNBs, which provide an integrated multi-switch with four outputs for
a direct connection to receivers. No external multiswitch is needed. Octo LNBs offer instead of
4 outputs a total of 8 outputswith the same engineering.
Quattro LNBs other hand, have no integrated multiswitch. These LNBs offer only the SAT
levels (V/L V/H H/L H/H), which must connected to an external multiswitch.
