Question and Answers

Question:

Hi, we are integrators, right now have a project for a customer in Costa Rica, we require to get 12 channel signals from the air in isdb-t then convert to hls to send to a CDN, can you please propose and quote an equipment? attached a very high-level drawing of what we need to do, please let me know which elements can you uote or any other feedback.

In this drawing, It shows that you will need RF demodulator to HDMI; do you already have these 12 STB's for RF to HDMI conversion?

Answer:

Because if you did not purchase them yet, we might have better solution.

If you already purchased those units then the 2x 8HDMI-IPCas t will be a better fit for you.

We only have a few options for HLS encoding; this model is the best option; we only have the 8 Channels in stock right now.

https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-or-8-hdmi-inputs-h264-network-encoder-udp-unicast-multicast-rtsp-8230.html

The other option I thought we could propose is using and RF to IP gateway instead of STB's.

This is a one RF rackmount unit that can ingest up to 16 RF ISDBT and all sub channels, directly converted to IP streams in UDP or RTP.

https://thorbroadcast.com/product/16-rf-tuners-to-iptv-ts-qam-output.html/116

We do not have the ISDBT option on the website, but we can do it no problem.

Then when we have the IP streams, we can use this device for IP to HLS conversion:

https://thorbroadcast.com/product/iptv-udp-to-hls-gateway.html

Essentially this would remove all of the set-top boxes, and power supplies, and HDMI cables from the setup.

Otherwise, you can use STB's and the 2x 8HDMI-IPCast Encoders to do HLS.

Question:

I purchased a H-4HDMI-IPCAST and enabled the HLS streaming for stream2.
What is the URL to pull the stream?

Answer:

HLS Syntex for IPCAST unit is http://192.168.1.137:8090/stream1.m4u8 , the 192.168.1.137 is the default device IP address
