H-IP-ASI-B-V3 is a unique, versatile device that serves as a transparent gateway between ASI and IP, allowing both ASI-to-IP and IP-to-ASI conversion. It also provides the ability to edit transport streams (TS) and decode ASI or IP inputs into SDI, HDMI video, digital audio, and analog audio.
The unit includes the following inputs:
IP Input (UDP or RTP): Supports multicast or unicast streams, accepting both SPTS (Single Program Transport Stream) and MPTS (Multiprogram Transport Stream). This stream can be converted into DVB-ASI in passthrough mode or modified by adjusting PIDs or the VCT. Individual TS streams within the MPTS can also be removed if necessary.
ASI Input: Supports SPTS and MPTS streams. The MPTS ASI stream can be transparently converted to an IP MPTS stream, or each TS within the ASI can be converted into its own SPTS IP stream (unicast or multicast). Additionally, each TS can be modified by adjusting PIDs or the VCT. Each individual TS can also be decoded to baseband video as SDI, HDMI, and analog audio.
ATSC RF Tuner: This tuner can be set to any frequency, and scanned off-air content can be converted to ASI or IP.
The unit allows any single conversion at a time, such as ASI to IP or IP to ASI, but not both simultaneously.
Applications and Conversions:
The H-IP-ASI-B-V3 is designed to be a flexible solution for a range of ASI/IP and RF-based broadcast and streaming applications
Simplified Processes the Gateway can handle:
Inputs:
Outputs:
The unit can perform ASI-to-IP, IP-to-ASI, or RF (ATSC-8VSB) to IP/ASI conversion, but not simultaneously. The input must be selected as ASI, IP, or RF. If ASI input is selected, the output will be IP (UDP unicast or multicast), with an ASI output also available for transport stream (TS) modifications, such as PID or VCT adjustments. For example, if the ASI MPTS contains three multiplexed TS streams and one TS is removed, the output will be a single IP MPTS with two TS streams, or two IP streams (SMPTS), along with an ASI MPTS with two TS streams. The same scenario applies in the opposite direction, from IP to ASI.
If RF input is selected, the output will include both IP and ASI. Each individual TS from any source—ASI, IP, or RF—can be selected and decoded to SDI, HDMI, and CVBS simultaneously.

It is possible to receive multiple IP streams and convert them into one ASI (MPTS) with a total bitrate of up to 80 Mbps, but this requires that the cameras output UDP or RTPmulticast streams (many cameras do not).
If you receive, for example, HLS instead, then we would need to use an HLS-to-IP gateway. because the IRD supports UDP/RTP input only.
Please check if your cameras output UDP. If not, kindly send us the list of streaming protocols your cameras support.
Also, is this for a local LAN or over a public internet WAN?

It looks like this camera can output UDP multicast, so we should be able to use it. You can quickly verify and test this using VLC Media Player installed on a PC connected to the same LAN.
Here is a quick test procedure:
To test a multicast UDP stream from the AXIS P7304 encoder using VLC Media Player, you need the correct UDP multicast stream syntax (URL) and follow some setup steps.
For the AXIS P7304, the typical multicast UDP stream URL format in VLC is:
udp://@<Multicast-IP>:<Port>
Example:
udp://@239.255.42.42:5004
239.255.42.42
→ Example multicast IP (set in the Axis device)
5004
→ Example port (also set in the Axis device)
You need to confirm the exact multicast IP and port from the AXIS encoder settings (see below).
Step 1: Configure the Axis Encoder for Multicast
Log into the Axis P7304 via web browser (IP address of the encoder).
Go to Settings → Video → Stream Profiles.
Choose or create a profile for multicast streaming:
Video codec: H.264 (recommended)
Resolution & frame rate: as required
Enable multicast.
Go to Settings → System → Network → Multicast.
Set the Multicast IP address (e.g., 239.255.42.42
)
Set the port (e.g., 5004
)
Choose to use RAW UDP (VLC supports both)
Optionally enable Always multicast (so the stream is active even without a viewer).
Step 2: Check That Your PC Is on the Same Network
Ensure your PC is on the same LAN/subnet as the AXIS P7304.
Multicast traffic does not pass routers unless configured.
Step 3: Open VLC and Start the Stream
Open VLC Media Player.
Go to Media → Open Network Stream.
In the URL box, enter:
udp://@239.255.42.42:5004
(Replace with your actual multicast IP/port from Axis)
Click Play.
Step 4: Confirm Stream Is Working
You should see the video within a few seconds.
If it doesn’t play:
Confirm the Axis encoder is actively streaming.
Check firewall settings (on PC or router).
Make sure the switch supports multicast or IGMP snooping is not blocking it.
Try temporarily disabling Windows Firewall for testing.
