Broadcast FULL HD IPTV content from 16 TV frequencies that can be ATSC / DVBS-S2 - or QAM(A&B) / DVBT / DVBT2 / ISDBT
EXAMPLE Model numbers can be ( H-16QAM-IP ---- H-16ATSC-IP ---- 16-8DVBS-IP )
The 16 Input Tuners choices are: All
The IP Output format is UDP multicast or multicast
FTA tuner inputs can be set to any non-adjacent carrier and converted to IP UDP unicast, multicast streams.
After setting the frequency the unit scans for Video/Audio programs and once discovered they can be converted individually to IP streams or re-modulated on different frequencies(channels) or a different modulation standard.
It supports up to 512 IP inputs and one IP (MPTS) output through GE1 and TS input for re-mux through 2 ASI ports. This is the next generation of Gateways of which will create a seamless conversion of RF programs to IP TS that are easily managed via a secure NMS system developed by Thor to help distribute all of your programs via IP and ASI. Convert 16 CATV in either DVBS2, QAM, or ATSC to IP or Transmodulate one format of RF to another form of RF. This family of products equipped with 16RF tuners is model dependent for QAM/ ATSC/ DVBS2 and works as RF to IP Gateway and can output Multicast or Unicast also can act as an RF Translator.
Because we use RF Tuners with specific modulation formats, these models are all independent of each other and must be ordered correctly because they are hardware based; we offer them in standards used across the globe so you can use your specific modulation standard for your country (please check model selection, reach out to your local dealer or call Thor directly). Essentially there are 3 hardware sets we manufacture, one specifically for ATSC, one for DVBS-S2, and the third is for QAM (the QAM model has built in modulation standards for QAM Annex A and Annex B, DVB-T, DVB-T2, and ISDB-T; this is selectable through the NMS GUI)

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?
|
|
H-8ATSC-IP
|
|
this is the gateway for RF to IP
|
|
2 HDMI input encoder for HDMI to IP
|
|
Excellent thank you
|
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 :

----------------------
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
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.
1)
I understand your point. How many channels do you need to modulate?
We do have 8-channel HDMI modulators available which generate valid channels and static images even without an HDMI source connected.
Therefore, you could use simple 8 ATSC to HDMI decoders with an 8-channel modulator.
This way, even if you lose the signal for some reason, the TVs will retain the channel information.
For the 20 channels, you would need 20 ATSC STBs and 3 H-Thunder-8 modulators combined together. Each modulator would generate unique 8 channels, which you can then merge together.
--------------------------
So, to make this clear, our ATSC to QAM gateway works exactly like BT. This is why I proposed a different solution.
If you use ATSC decoders combined with the 8ch HDMI modulator, you will not have this issue.
The 8ch HDMI modulator has a constant output whether HDMI is connected or not (the TS is constantly generated), so TVs will never lose channel information regardless of whether they receive HDMI video or not.
Please let me know if this is clear
1) Usually, satellite dishes don't send high-frequency C-Band signals over coaxial cable. Instead, installed LNBs downconvert C-band frequencies to a lower frequency band.
The satellite dish reflects the signal onto the LNB, which is mounted on the arm of the dish.
The LNB amplifies the signal received from the satellite and downconverts it to a lower frequency, enabling it to be transmitted through a coaxial cable to the receiver.
The satellite LNB works as a downconverter by converting the high-frequency satellite signal received by the dish into a lower frequency signal known as the L-band.
The L-band frequency range typically used for satellite communication is between 950 MHz and 2150 MHz.
The satellite LNB converts the received satellite signal, which may be in the Ku-band (10.7 GHz - 12.75 GHz) or C-band (3.7 GHz - 4.2 GHz), into a lower frequency signal in the L-band range.
Once converted to the L-band, the following devices can be used :
F-Lband-TxRx 1 L-band over fiber TX/RX Kit
-------------------------------------------------
2) In this case, it is not so straightforward; it is impossible to
digitize the L-band spectrum and send it over IP.
However, in some cases, we can tune into specific DVBS/S2 channels and
convert TS (MPEG transport stream) videos to IP.
The video channels need to be free-to-air, clear, and not encrypted.
Please check this product, the 16ch DVBS/S2 to IP gateway.
The unit has 16 individual satellite tuners, and each tuner can be set
to a different satellite DVBS/S2 (frequency) channel.
Any videos from this channel can be output as UDP multicast streams.
These streams can be sent over the LAN Ethernet connection.
H-16DVBS2-IP
1) The highest density unit we make for QAM to IP is this model: H-16QAM-IP
2) Each of the 16 ATSC channels has an average of 3-4 subchannels, resulting in a total of 48-64 subchannels, other words, each TS (Transport Stream) has its own UDP SPTS multicast stream
3)
Thank you for your inquiry.
As you correctly pointed out, the H-8ATSC-IP or H-16ATSC-IP gateway will output all TS's UDP multicasts from the 8 ATSC carriers.
But the unit works as a gateway and is completely transparent; whatever encoded signal is carried on the RF will be outputted on the IP. We can change PIDs or other PSID information, the encoded video and audio original format remains the same. In other words, the video encoded format and resolution will be exactly the same as the original format of the ATSC channels.
The only way we could achieve a resolution change would be by decoding all your videos to HDMI format first and then re-encoding all of them using an HDMI encoder.
We can use a simple ATSC STB, such as the H-STB-QAM-ATSC, to decode it to HDMI.
We have many different encoders, but for your specific needs, you most likely require MPEG2 with AC3 Audio. In this case, the most suitable option would be our 4ch HDMI encoder H-4HD-EMH.
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-broadcast-encoder-iptv-streamer-and-asi-out-mpeg2-8230.html
If H.264 encoding is sufficient, we also have 24ch encoders available -H-HDPerformux-24

Please don't hesitate to give me a call if you have any questions.
The Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) standards dictate how TV signals are broadcast and received. Two of the most notable standards are ATSC 1.0 and ATSC 3.0, and they differ in various technical aspects, including their physical layer characteristics.
ATSC 1.0 (also just "ATSC"):
Modulation: ATSC 1.0 uses 8-VSB (8-level Vestigial Side Band) modulation. This is essentially a digital version of amplitude modulation and was chosen mainly for its compatibility with the existing NTSC system and its simplicity.
Transmission: It operates in the 6 MHz VHF and UHF TV channels.
Payload: The effective data rate for ATSC 1.0 is about 19.39 Mbps per 6 MHz channel.
Performance: In practice, 8-VSB is not very robust against multipath interference. This means that in certain areas (like urban canyons) or with particular types of interference (like moving vehicles), ATSC 1.0 can suffer from reception issues.
ATSC 3.0:
Modulation: ATSC 3.0 uses OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), which is a type of multi-carrier modulation. This makes it much more robust against multipath interference than 8-VSB. It can also accommodate various modulation constellations including QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, and 256QAM, depending on the desired trade-off between data rate and signal robustness.
Transmission: Like ATSC 1.0, it operates in the 6 MHz VHF and UHF TV channels. But with its adaptive capabilities, it can adjust based on reception conditions.
Payload: Because of its adaptive nature, the effective data rate for ATSC 3.0 can vary. However, it can theoretically achieve higher data rates than ATSC 1.0 in optimal conditions.
Performance: Being based on OFDM and having adaptive capabilities, ATSC 3.0 is designed to be more robust against various interference sources, providing better indoor reception and mobile reception. It also supports MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology, further enhancing its reception capabilities.
Additional Features: ATSC 3.0 is not just an upgrade in terms of physical layer characteristics. It comes with other enhancements like support for 4K UHD, high dynamic range (HDR), better audio quality with Dolby AC-4, and even interactive features and hybrid content delivery in combination with broadband.
In summary, while ATSC 1.0 was a significant step forward from the analog NTSC system, ATSC 3.0 is a more advanced and flexible system designed to meet the needs of modern broadcasting, combining over-the-air transmission with broadband for a comprehensive and interactive viewer experience.
------------------
OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is a modulation scheme that has found its way into various modern communication standards due to its robustness against multipath interference and its efficient use of the spectrum. Here are several notable standards and systems that utilize OFDM:
Wi-Fi Standards:
Digital Subscriber Lines:
Mobile Communication Standards:
Digital Terrestrial Television:

Basically, this unit can accept up to 16 different satellite channels. You would need to know what the differences are, and it can output all the video/audio programs as IP streams. Typically, customers use it as a UPS multicast because they can access it anywhere on the LAN (Local Area Network) using VLC players on their PCs or IP STBs. An example of the multicast IP address is 224.2.2.2, port 1000. In VLC syntax, the address would be udp://@224.2.2.2:1000, and you can view the video.
If your plan is to send these videos to customers over the public internet, you would need a video server (we do not make this). Here’s how it would work: our unit would stream UDP multicast streams locally into the video server as the source, and the video server would send unicast streams to the devices that request them, typically as HLS streams.
. If you haven't done any IP projects in the past, there will be a learning curve. We can help you set up the equipment remotely, but you will need to know your satellite channels and frequencies
That’s actually a great idea, and you're definitely in the right place, we specialize in exactly this type of solution.
For your application, we offer two types of IP Gateway devices:
Satellite (DVB-S/S2) to IP Gateways – Available in 8 or 16 tuner models.
H-8DVBS-IP ( 8 Tuners)
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/atsc-or-qam-to-ip-gateway-atsc-qam-iptv-broadcast-8230.html/71
H-16DVBS-IP ( 16 Tuners)
Each tuner is fully independent and can be configured to any DVB-S2 or ATSC frequency. ( model dependent)
Each carrier can contain multiple video streams, and all of them can be converted to UDP multicast streams for IPTV distribution over your LAN.
For example, one ATSC 6 MHz channel may contain 2–6 programs, so a 16-tuner ATSC Gateway can output as many streams as those tuners can receive — potentially dozens of channels from just one unit.
(Please note: satellite signals must be free-to-air (FTA), unencrypted content.)
To complete your setup, we also offer IP-to-HDMI Set-Top Boxes (STBs). These devices allow residents to receive and decode multicast IP channels, and they come with remote controls for easy channel switching using numbers or up/down buttons.
Each STB is configured to match the multicast streams output from the gateway.
There’s no limit to the number of video channels or client receivers you can deploy.
This solution is ideal for multi-family apartment complexes like yours using just one dish and one antenna to distribute channels over Ethernet to all residents, without the need for separate satellite or antenna receivers in each unit.
Here is the link to the IP receiver (STB): H-STB-IP

Let me know if anything is unclear I’d be happy to explain over a quick call if you prefer.
Thank you for your email and for considering our DVB-T/T2 to IPTV gateway for your project in Panama. I’m happy to help.
To clarify how the system works: both H-8DVBT-IP and H-16DVBT-IP operate as transparent gateways. This means all the transport streams (TS) broadcast on the DVB-T/T2 channels are taken exactly as they are (no re-encoding) and converted directly into UDP or RTP multicast IPTV streams.
Since DVB-T/T2 channels are free-to-air and unencrypted, the output will also be unencrypted multicast streams. This is fully legal and compliant, as we are not decrypting or altering any content — we simply encapsulate the same original TS into IP.
From our experience, LG Pro:Centric systems accept both Pro:Idiom encrypted streams and unencrypted multicast streams. In your application, unencrypted multicast works perfectly. (Please double-check with your Pro:Centric controller, but I am 100% confident in the compatibility.)
Output Compatibility
• Fully supports UDP/RTP multicast
• Each TV program is output as SPTS with its own multicast IP
• Fully compatible with LG Pro:Centric IPTV channel mapping
Stock & Pricing
We currently have the H-16DVBT-IP in stock.
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/16-rf-tuners-to-iptv-1.html/284
H-16DVBT-IP (16 independent DVB-T tuners): $4,495 + shipping
Each of the 16 tuners can be tuned to any DVB-T frequency.
A typical DVB-T multiplex carries 3–7 TV programs, and each program becomes its own multicast address (e.g., 224.2.2.2:1000, 224.2.2.3:1002, etc.).
Recommended Configuration for Hospitality
• Assign clean sequential multicast IPs to each SPTS
• Use a managed switch with IGMP Snooping + IGMP Querier
• Map channels in LG Pro:Centric using the multicast URLs
• Place IPTV traffic on a dedicated VLAN
• Ensure DHCP/DNS settings required by Pro:Centric are active
I can support you step-by-step during setup if needed.
Answers to your questions:
Additionally, we kindly request your support with technical recommendations regarding the RF side of the installation—specifically:
• Appropriate antenna types for optimal DVB-T/T2 reception – DVB-T only.
• Whether amplifiers are required in our scenario
This depends entirely on the RF signal strength and quality at the installation site. Normally, an amplifier is not necessary, but in some cases multiple antennas are required because many channels may originate from different broadcast towers. Please let me know if this is clear.
• Maximum recommended cable distances and cable types to ensure a strong RF signal before feeding the gateway
Shorter coaxial cable runs are always better. There is no strict maximum distance; the limitation is based on coax type and frequency characteristics (insertion loss).
Please cheek this table ( example 211Mhz is loosing 2.65 db /100 feet of RJ11 Coaxial cable)
Any guidance you can provide will help us ensure a reliable deployment.
Once you receive the equipment, connect the antenna, set the frequencies, and check the signal strength and quality. This step will determine the next actions. If the signal quality and strength are above 35%, the unit will operate without issues. If it is below that level, multiple antennas may be required and possibly antennas aimed in different directions. Please let me know if this is clear.
Also — please confirm that DVB-T is indeed what you need.
If this system will be used in Mexico, you will require ATSC tuners, not DVB-T. DVB-T is used in Europe, Africa, and parts of the Middle East, not in Latin America. Please double-check this.
