Intellian® i4/i4P - 45 cm, quad output

LET OPINION: the Intellian i4 is not (anymore) suitable for the reception of Canal Digital / TV Vlaanderen via the Astra 3 satellite. This antenna is also not suitable for Joyne via the Eutelsat 9 satellite. The diameter of the dish is too small for this.

Power and efficiency - These concepts make the Intellian® i4 the most popular 45 cm (18 inch) automatic satellite TV solution for pleasure boats, fishing boats, workboats and commercial vessels from 12 meters (35 ft) to 20 meters (60 ft) in length.

Intellian® i4 highlights

• Automatic satellite selection function via remote control
• Compatible with leading satellite TV providers around the world
• The rotational speed of 50° per second provides signal tracking at both high speeds and in rough seas
• An extended elevation range of 0° to 90° allows you to travel far to the North or South
• The built-in GPS system allows for quick location of the desired signal
• Simplicity of design, no external compass or speed sensors required
• Built-in HD module for Ku-band HD TV reception

Travel further than ever

You never have to compromise when it comes to reception or quality. The Intellian® i4 offers the highest signal strength achievable with a 45 cm (17.7") dish antenna, significantly expanding coverage area. Expand your horizion with the Intellian® i4.

Long Distance Sailing

Intellian®'s i4 is available in 2 variants: the "regular" i4 or the i4P with Auto Skew function.

For example, the i4P model is ideal for ships sailing between different locations within a global region, where the polarization angle of the satellite signal is subject to change. For example: Europe, South America, Asia-Pacific.

All Intellian "P" models are equipped with an integrated Auto Skew angle adjustment, eliminating the need to adjust -manually- the skew angle of the LNB.

Automatic satellite switching

DISH Network (US) and Bell TV (Canada) users will benefit from using the Intellian MIM (Multi-Satellite Interface Module). The Intellian MIM is needed to enable automatic switching between satellites, which also allows water sports users who want to switch channels to automatically switch to the correct satellite, just like satellite TV at home.

Intellian® i4 features

Fully automatic system

• Automatic satellite  search system and identification function
• 2-axis stabilization ensures fast finding of the correct satellite/signal strength

High Performance satellite dish

• The parabolic dish has a diameter of 45 cm (18inch) and is suitable for the reception of Ku-band satellite signals
• Both circular and linear polarization, depending on region and selected LNB
• Built-in HD module for Ku-band HD TV reception

Intellian's patented Quick & Quiet℠ Technology (IQ²)

• With the patented IQ² Technology, quick tuning to the desired satellite is possible and this technology ensures solid signal quality while watching your favorite TV programs. Even while sailing!
• The Wide Range Search (WRS) algorithm ensures fast finding of the best signal strength available -wherever
• Dynamic Beam Tilting (DBT) technology uses intelligent, real-time beam analysis to ensure a ​​superior signal quality, while this technology eliminates intrusive background noise -that one may experience with conventional satellite dishes

Control Unit

• Intuitive operation with digital information display on the ACU
• Wireless automatic updates and diagnostics via Aptus PC and Aptus Mobile
• DC Out port for easy power to the Intellian MIM or Shaw Decoder Module

Multiple connections possible

Multiple satellite receivers and/or televisions can be connected to the Intellian i4 using a multi-switch or the Intellian MIM system (Multi-Satellite Interface Module). Through the MIM, a master receiver can be selected to receive the desired satellite.

In North America, when using Dish Network or Bell TV, an MIM is required; this allows automatic satellite switching through your remote control, just like in your home.

Built-in GPS and NMEA 0183 Interface

• The Intellian® i4 features a built-in GPS antenna for quick alignment to the correct satellite / best signal strength.
• The vessel's GPS system can also be connected via the NMEA 0183 port on the ACU's rear panel.

Compact size

The Intellian® i4 has an all around diameter of 50cm (19.7 inches) and weighs 11.6 kg (25.5 lbs).

Three-Year Global Warranty

Leading parts with a 3-year warranty and craftsmanship with a 1-year warranty on all Intellian® satellite antenna systems, give you peace of mind and a good feeling with your hardware investment.
