Part of the PROception core range for the professional aerial and system installer, these fully-featured RF hub products provide ideal wiring centres for comprehen­sive digital and analogue home entertainment distribution systems. Solo starBOXes have separate antenna inputs for individual stand-alone home installations. The MDU starBOX has a combined input for use in integrated reception systems (IRS) where the majority of signals arrive on a single cable from a multiswitch in a shared-antenna environment.

Remote control features

• Infra-red remote control capability from all distribution outputs to main viewing location, with a choice of two remote control systems – Sky*-only control with the proSAT1EYE extender (via RF-OUT 2 Digibox connector) or 'universal' remote control with the PROception starLINK I-R extender system.
• 9 V I-R receiver 'eye' power provided at all distribution outputs.

Special note (applies to Solo and MDU versions)

• These products have no internal UHF path between the antenna or IRS inputs and the distribution outputs. The distributed UHF signal is taken from the UHF RETURN input only. To obtain UHF signals at the distribution outputs there must be a signal connection between MASTER OUT and UHF RETURN IN. This is usually provided by the loop 'down' to the main equipment location, through one or more set-top boxes and back 'up' to the starBOX – thus making the set-top box outputs available on all the distribution outlets.
• If for any reason there is no MASTER OUT – UHF RETURN IN signal path present, no off-air TV signals will be available at the distribution outlets. This can be remedied by linking MASTER OUT to UHF RETURN IN via a short coaxial cable, or by using a 2-way splitter on MASTER OUT to feed both an outlet (with no return facility) and UHF RETURN IN.
