The digital System-on-Chip solution shifts analogue switching technology on a chip. It incorporates a fully programmable User Band configuration and two working modes, a static and dynamic one. The static one is equivalent to SMATV head-end stations or stacked LNBs, whereas the dynamic is equivalent to SCR LNBs controlled by EN50494 or EN50607. Additionally it supports a terrestrial
input, which feeds the terrestrial frequencies into the system.
The dLNB is supported amongst others by GT-SAT´s dHello standard, realizing auto detection of units. That paves the way for a fully automatic installation without any need of installer’s interaction.
The main benefit of digital LNBs is the support of a high number of User Bands. The dLNB supports in dynamic mode up to 24 UBs, which is a dramatic cost- cutter compared to the current installation mode.
