Figure 6 – Non-diversity system
Outputs from the receiver can be taken from SDI out or video out or both and audio from
the mulitway connector block or 5 way XLR connector depending on the option fitted. If
required, Frame Lock can be connected to synchronise the output with other equipment.
NB – the colour sub carrier is not locked.
1.2.5 Diversity system
This is a much more robust system giving better performance than non-diversity especially
when the installation is indoors. The transmission range is not increased very much, but
performance near the margins of the transmission area is much more robust and RF “black
holes” are eliminated.
Generally the antennas should be placed as high as possible and in the clear (see section 2
on antennas for more information). The antenna spacing is fairly critical and should be
around 20cm to gain optimum performance. If a greater spacing than 20cm is used, the
full benefits of diversity will not be obtained. A little experimentation may be needed to
find the optimum spacing in a particular environment.
Connect the receive side as shown in the diagram below. Take care to keep all cables away
from potential sources of interference and/or damage (see the section on cables for more
information).
NB
When connecting up the cables the receiver
should not
be powered up. The LNB power
may be active whilst cables are being connected and it is easy to make a short circuit. It is
