Thor Broadcast High Density H.264 Encoder H-HDPerformux-XX, specifically designed and made to handle up to 24 HDMI inputs and output via 1MPTS or 24SPTS. This unit has a full functioning GUI (Graphical User Interface) that Thor has designed to help navigate creating all of your H.264 Streams with MPEG 1 Layer 2 Audio. Additionally you have a single ASI output that will mirror the MPTS output. Specifically featuring the QR code, Logo, and OSD insertion for cable operators that require this feature. Furthermore it has PID remapping, PCR and PSDI adjusting and editing as well. This 1RU unit can replace an entire headend with the high density 24 HDMI input chassis with easy operation and Thor Broadcast's leading warranty and free tech support from our lab in Los Angeles.
The newest iteration is the Thor Peformux+ Model which includes H.265 HEVC Encoding which can save you up to 75% of the bandwidth needed to stream. The +Model also includes output up to 1080p60, and adds some audio options and other valuable features that are not found on the base model Performux; below are charts and breakdowns of the differences.

Hello, we only have HEVC H.265 with HDMI inputs right now
|
would you use something like this with converters?
|
H-HDPerformux-4+ 4 channel HDMI to IP HEVC H.264&H.265 Encoder Streamer
|
You could potentially use converters so long that they would be compatible with all the needs of transmitting data.
|
I assume you have 3GSDI feeds?
|
yes
|
so you'd have to make sure the converter can do 3G and HDMI to 1080p60
|
Even then, no telling if that would effect the unit
|
as far as timing? frame loss?
|
yeah all that. because a lot of those 3rd party converters will take short cuts to work, but not exactly a professional solution
|
so its a coin flip honestly.
|
so buy the cheapest converter I can find
|
so no encoders with native SDI input?
|
There might be some on the market, but we only have HDMI input models avaialble
|
They work really well, we just sold a ton of 24 HDMI input models, super high density
|
|
The 100m is a maximum CAT5 that can run.
If you do not have a link then you need to put an ethernet switch somewhere in between, or you can use point to point optical transceivers like those below, by using them you can extend Ethenet of many Km:
There is no CAT 5 amplifier, the ethernet doesn't have power like CATV RF
No, As I mentioned the Ethernet can not be stronger and weaker, it is a data stream signal
POE Switch does not do anything for this, POE switch can send DC power over the CAT 5 to power POE device like Camera, so you do not have to use external DC power supply, but it doesn't extend the range of the ethernet signal.
I want to implement IPTV, we will be a small ISP that will start soon
|
We will reach our clients through fiber optics to their homes
|
We want to mount the necessary equipment on our node to offer IPTV service.
|
But we don't know at all what equipment we need |
We want to contract legal channels such as FOX, HBO, Discovery, etc. to be able to offer our clients these packages.
|
But first we need the equipment. |
What equipment could they offer us? |
Could we have a small meeting by videoconference?
|
I could send you the invitation is through Microsoft Teams, you can access it from the web browser of your cell phone or computer. |
We only want to know about the IPTV equipment solutions that they could offer us. |
Do you have your own headend? Where are the sources coming from?
|
We have lot of encoders for IPTV, but distribution is another process.
|
We have HDMI or SDI, but we need to know the protocol fro video, MPEG2 or H264; then the streaming protocol like RTP UDP RTMP etc there are many variations in the resolution and audio codecs as well we need to know more information about
|
ok currently we don't have the headend ready, we are under construction.
|
We want to search for sources, but we want our sources completely legal so as not to have problems of transmission by content, but we do not know with whom we can talk about it.
|
Well that starts with which country you are in, you need to speak with somebody in the government who can help you a little, or contact the cable TV companies
|
Essentially you will have several issues, from building the headend, getting access to those channels, and then distribution. Of which you will need make some sort of encryption effort, supply customer with set top boxes, and also lease the fiber. If this is all in one location or building then it is easier.
|
I do not want to retransmit a signal from cable companies.
|
I want to buy my own signal and pass it right to my clients. |
Oh I see, then you will have to contact those companies directly, setup agreements and lease out those channels like any other cable company
|
Very good chance that they can let you access those channels direct from satellites, so you would pay a fee, get an access card, or code, and then you can use an IRD with CAS to get that data from satellites.
|
However I will mention our company does not get involved in any of that. We make and sell headend equipment.
