DVB-S2 FBC Tuner - What is it?
This type of tuner will be used for the
first time on a GB UHD QUAD.
FBC stands for "Full Band Capture" and
means that the entire frequency band of
a level is received.
Fig. 3
How does it work?
Two FBC tuners are powered by two Sat
IF inputs (LNB1 IN and LNB2 IN), then
eight demodulators are dynamically split
between both FBC tuners. Each of these
demodulators can then demodulate a
transponder or an SCR frequency.
Fig.4

19
The first Start
What are the advantages of this?
1. Faster changeover times, since the next program
can already be pre-dunked and demodulated.
2. In classical operation, up to eight transponders of
a plane could also be demodulated or e.g. three from
one level and five from another level when both sat
IF inputs are powered.
3. Each demodulator could get a Unicable / JESS
SCR frequency, so there are eight transponders to
receive independently.FBC
Unicable / JESS for two Satpositions
Unicable: The respective settings must be adapted to the
SCR system. LNB 1 and LNB 2 are to be adjusted to the
aligned satellite system. Here in the example it is 13 °
East (Eutelsat) and 19.2 ° East (Astra). Unicable is to be
selected under LOF. It must also be noted that the correct
settings are made under Unicable configuration and
manufacturer. If these pre-programmed settings do not
agree with the installed components, select Unicable
User defined, under the then menu item Diction
Unicable [EN50494] must be selected. The remaining
settings, such as channel and frequency must, however,
be made manually. The frequencies may only be
assigned once for each connected tuner; if this is
ignored, interference will occur.
JESS: The settings for JESS can only be changed in
Unicable User defined mode, then JESS [EN50607]
must be selected under the then menu item Diction.
The remaining settings, such as channel and frequency
must, however, be made manually. The frequencies
may only be assigned once for each connected
tuner; if this is ignored, interference will occur.
Procedure: Settings can be changed via the control pad
left / right.
1. Setting under tuner A for now LNB (LNB 1) e.g Astra
19.2°Ost

3. Setting under Tuner A for the second LNB (LNB 2)e.g
