Figure 8-1 Starlink SL9003Q Transmitter Main/Standby Configuration
Receiver
Figures F-2 and F-3 show a typical Starlink QAM (STL) Main/Standby configuration for the
receiver end of the link. A TP64 is not required, as both of the receivers are “ON” all the time.
The antenna input is split to the two receivers with an RF power divider.
Audio Switching – with Optimod Audio Processor
The Main and Standby audio outputs can be routed to the inputs of an Orban Optimod stereo
generator (with the AES/EBU input option) or similar device. Route the AES/EBU from the Main
receiver and the analog from the Standby receiver, and the Optimod will always default to the
AES/EBU input if the data is valid (i.e., the receiver audio data is locked).
