Built upon Paradise Datacom’s popular and reliable zBUCs, the Indoor Dual BUC is an excellent, full featured system.

The Up Converter translates an L-Band frequency input signal between 950 to 2050 MHz (Dependant upon RF Band Selected) to a C-, X- or Ku-Band output frequency.

The Down Converter translates a C-, X- or Ku-Band input frequency to an L-Band frequency output signal between 950 to 2050 MHz (Dependant upon RF Band Selected)

System control is available through the rear panel parallel I/O remote, or serial I/O remote connectors, and may be accessed using the Paradise Datacom Universal Monitor and Control software.
