Question and Answers

Question:
I am interested in this product, which will be ideal for one of our new projects. I need to clarify, on each RF input what can I send, whole transponder or single channel? I need to send all channels (about 32 channels) in the one RF feed from point to point via IP. Can you please confirm if possible? I will not be able to move whole transponder feed with one RF input. The channels are all Virgin Media channels. I would like to send the RF signal from A to B, and looking for a solution, even I leave them as IP on site B or convert them back to RF. The best solution is your RF to Fibre and Fibre to RF devices, which we already have, they work perfect, but for this project, we do not have dark fiber between A and B.

Answer:
Are your channels clear or scrambled and need CAM cards? This unit would convert 16 clear channels to IP, you would need 2 pcs. https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-x-atsc-or-satelliete-antenna-tuners-to-iptv-8230.html 2 x 16 CH H-16DVBS2-IP 16 x Satellite S2 Tuners to IPTV & ASI Output The unit can discover all TS's programs and broadcast each SPTS for each TS. What do you need to do with those streams on the other end? Do you want to leave it as an IP and use IP STB? Or convert this IP to RF QAM or DVB-T. If so this would be the best unit to do it: IP to 16/32 CH RF Gateway https://thorbroadcast.com/product/iptv-to-16-32-clear-channel-rf-qam-atsc-modulator.html I totally understand, but this unit has 16 RF inputs, it converts 16 individual channels to IP. so with those 2 pcs you can move 32 channels You are absolutely right, it would be easier to use fiber optic converters RF to RF. So you don't have dark fiber? But if you have fiber with, anything on there, maybe ethernet or L-band? Whatever doesn't matter, then we can make a pass through mux for you. We can do a custom product for you and multiplex anything on the single fiber. To explain it better, if you would have something already occupied by RFor Ethernet or ASI /SDI. We can build a unit with that and have that signal and in addition RF as well? Does that make sense? Please take a look at this CWDM multiplexer for example : https://thorbroadcast.com/product/chassis-multiplexing-system-for-sdi-ethernet-gigabit-ethernet-rs-data-8230.html

Question:
I have a customer that wants us to build a small system for them We have DTV antennas pointing at different digital OTA stations and we are looking for a box with built-in ATSC tuners that will encode them H.264/H.265(+) on IP so they can use any streaming box to watch the channels through a local IP network. we would like to encode from 4/6/8-16 channels.... do you have 1 rack-mount device that does what we want?

Answer:
Yes we have a direct converter that will take RF programs and convert them to IP streams; however that device is not an encoder but rather a Gateway, so the programs will maintain their MPEG2 protocol. If you would like to convert to H264 then you would have to use a tuner or STB, for each stream with an HDMI output; then those HDMI outputs would go into a broadcast encoder which will then convert each HDMI input to an IP stream in H264. This is our very popular 8 Channel HDMI to IP Encoder https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-hdmi-broadcast-encoder-iptv-streamer-and-asi-out-h-264-8230.html Otherwise, if MPEG2 would work out then you can use this device as the gateway for RF to IP https://thorbroadcast.com/product/16-rf-tuners-to-iptv-ts-qam-output.html/116 Considering we use MPEG2 in North America to view streams; if the client to elects to convert to H264; they would still need to use a decoder to grab those IP streams and convert to something you can view on.

Question:

I came across one of your products on the web - "Thor 16 RF Tuners to IPTV TS & QAM Output"

1. Does it have H.264/H.265 support?

2. Does it have encryption support?

Or if you have any other product which supports these please share the details of that product?

Answer:

This unit is a gateway, so it demodulates and converts the signal type from RF to IP, however, it will not change the protocol standard.

So if your current RF television system is MPEG2 then the IPTV will be MPEG2.

If you are in a country that uses DVB-T MPEG2, H.264, or H.264, then your IP will be in came MPEG 2 H.264, H265

It does not support Encryption, so anther words, the RF input needs to be clear and IP output will be clear.

This is the only Tuner Gateway we have in this density.

What is your application, please describe in detail, our engineers will happy to review its ad advise the best solution. 800-521-8467 Ext 2

Question:

Temporary channel sharing that supports the creation of an initial ATSC 3.0 station known as the “Lighthouse Station.” The Lighthouse Station will be the first to provide ATSC 3.0 services in a market and will have its ATSC 1.0 signal carried by other partners in the business agreement.

During this transition or cable company needs to have the ability to cherry-pick the ATSC1 programming and convert it to IP so we can ingest it to our Cable Tv local tv channel lineup. Can this device have the ability to cherry-pick ATSC subchannels and encapsulate them to IP MPEG2 multicast streams?

Answer:

Yes, absolutely, the device can scan and discover all subchnnelTS insight the physical ATSC carrier, any subchannel transport strem can be encapsulated to its on IP strem of your choice. you can also re-map the PID's as well. This is the perfect solution for ATSC to ATSC3 transformation for lighthouse tv programming channel sharing receiver and IP gateway

Question:

Looking for a solution for multicast IPTV. Want RF tuner for over-the-air, inputs from HDMI (computer &DVD), and able to input from YouTube.

Answer:

How many of each signal are you trying to encode? Where is the Youtube source coming from?

I would think 8 RF channels, 1 or 2 HDMI, and YouTube would be via web.

and what protocol on multicast did you require?

youtube is from the web, but in order to integrate, you need to receive it, then encode it again

I watched YouTube video for the 16 rf tuner to IPTV to qam. Not to knowledgeable in this area, a network engineer by trade. Multicast would be UDP. Perhaps a Firestick or Roku device to get YouTube.

Okay so this would be a multi device setup.

We can use RF to IP Gateways' for your 8 ATSC channels

Then an encoder for XX amount of HDMI inputs you need.

Those IP outputs from those devices would all go to one switch and from there you'd have all your multicast streams.

Which part numbers should I look at?

Excellent thank you

Question:

I have been on Plex about 7 years now and about 30 friends and family are included on my Plex. Many can't utilize an OTA antenna for various reasons and until recently subscribed to Locast. I am looking into a solution that I can share my over the air channels with a IPTV unicasting, multicasting or streaming solution similar to the Locast service but on a much smaller scale of course. Would one of your commercial products be a solution? Obviously we are not on the same network so some sort of "streaming headend" solution is what I am looking for.

--------------

hanks for the timely response! Perhaps you might walk me thru this? I am using a couple of silicondust HDhome run tuners and I am lucky enough to get good OTA reception receiving a total of 46 channels. I can only allow access to Live TV & DVR on my Plex server to just a limited few (including my household) because of tuner restrictions as well as my internet upload restrictions. Xfinity has recently announced fiber availability in my neighborhood which could significantly increase upload speeds to as much as 2000 Mbps if I were willing to pay the price. I also am aware of silicondust's commercial products however, like the home units those too are meant to be used on LAN. I would be willing to invest in commercial equipment and upgrade to fiber if I had a solution that would work. Questions: 1) how would your suggestion look on YouTube? Would I need a separate tuner for each channel? I'm sure on YouTube it wouldn't emulate a HD tuner? 2) based on my previous information and updated info today, is there any commercial equipment that you sell that could accomplish my goal? In conjunction with HD commercial equipment (or not) in conjunction with Plex (or not)? Or perhaps utilizing a IPTV box?

Answer:

Do you want to use it on LAN or WAN?
I'm assuming WAN, in this case, UDP multicast would not work.

What you can do is stream your Video to Youtube using RTMP
protocol, and give all your friends and family, private links

You can use this encoder for this purpose :
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-channel-hdmi-cvbs-network-encoder-streamer-udp-rtp-unicast-multicast-8230.html

----------------------

This is the solution :

H-16ATSC-IP-RF, 16ch ATSC tuners to IP, each tuner can be set to the different channel, and output all it will output multicast streams, then you need to have a Video server which will accept UDP multicast, convert it to HLS and serve the customers,

We do not make video servers, you could use WOWZA for example

The reason is that Public internet doesn't support UDP multicast streams, you can use them easily on the LAN, nut, not on the WAN, this is why you need a Video server with HLS, RTSP or RTP outputs

Question:

We need between 6 and 12 TV channels (ATSC channels), we are using the camera below and we can enable multicast on these cameras, we are currently using H264 as these cameras are connected to a DVR for recording and we cannot change it, we may have to use the converters that you informed.Bosch | AUTODOME IP 5000i IR

-----------------

Question 2

If we use the device below, will we still need the converter?

https://thorbroadcast.com/product/iptv-to-16-32-clear-channel-rf-qam-atsc-modulator.html

Answer:

Because these cameras are H264, we need to convert and encode those transport streams to Mpeg2 and then modulate onto ATSC for RF to your television.

As I noted, there are a couple of ways to do this.

I think this is the simplest solution.

Using IP STB - https://thorbroadcast.com/product/compact-ip-decoder-set-top-box.html

Input the IP from the camera, take HDMI output and then use HDMI modulators.

Here is a link to our modulators.

https://thorbroadcast.com/products/hdmi

Since you have between 6-12 camera streams, you can use individual compact units or higher density models

md_back-8-hdmi-digital-rf-modulator-cc-closed-captioning-reflection-.jpg

--------------------------

Answer 2

This IP to RF gateway is just a converter, it does not encode, so your IP Streams will still be H264, the television will not recognize those channels.

You need to encode those H264 streams to MPEG2, otherwise, it will not work.
