Intellian Dual TVRO Mediator
Introduction
Intellian Dual TVRO Mediator
Intellian’s Dual TVRO Mediator is designed for a ship that has two
Intellian Satellite TV Antenna Systems. Intellian Mediator will compare
the satellite signal receptions between the 2 antennas and switch to the
antenna that has better signal receptions automatically. It is made to
ensure that the program the viewer is watching is clear and free from
any interruptions when one of the antenna’s is experiencing blockage.
For example; if “Antenna A” is mounted on the port side and “Antenna
B” is mounted on the starboard side, they will not both be blocked at the
same time if both antennas are tracking the same satellite. The Intellian
Mediator will not change the state of the antenna’s if both antennas are
blocked, or if both are tracking on a satellite. However, it will switch to
provide a satellite signal from Antenna A when it is not blocked and will
switch to provide a satellite signal from Antenna B whenever Antenna A
is blocked.

Note: Once the ACU is connected to the Mediator, you will have to use
either two “PC Interface” connectors on the rear panel of the Mediator
or two USB connectors (Antenna 1/Antenna 2) on the front panel of the
Mediator to connect the antenna systems with a PC. The Mediator will not
function if you connect a PC using the USB connector on the front panel
of ACU.

Multi-switch
Intellian recommends that an ACTIVE multiswitch be used in all
installations.
1. Connect the four IF cables from the four RECEIVER connectors on the
Mediator to the 4 input connectors on the multiswitch.
2. Connect the IF cable from the output connector on the multiswitch to
the ‘Satellite In’/ ‘ANT’ connector on the IRD.
3. If you have more than one IRD, repeat step 2 to connect the RF cables
between the other receivers and multiswitch output connectors.
