Description

Thor Broadcast IP Encoder with 4 or 8 HDMI inputs, with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video encoding and LC-AAC or HE-AAC audio encoding. The signal source could be from any STB, PC, TV, or any HDMI device. It can transfer the live-streaming programs through the internet via LAN and will output IP over UDP (Unicast/Multicast), RTSP, RTMP, HTTP, and HLS. The output signals can be received by an IP device like a PC, phone, tablet, STB, or any other mobile terminal. Simple setup and design mean these inexpensive units will give you video IP transport solutions without breaking the bank.

Models are available with 4 or 8 HDMI inputs for high-density applications.

You can use it as a live video or cast streaming device and have the versatility to connect with a large audience. This unit supports multiple HD and SD resolutions; if your video source is analog NTSC video, it is easy to convert it to HDMI using a small external converter.

Question and Answers

Question:
Hi, we are integrators, and we currently have a project for a customer in Costa Rica. We need to get 12 channel signals from the air in ISDB-T, then convert them to HLS to send to a CDN. Can you please propose and quote the equipment? Attached is a very high-level drawing of what we need to do. Please let me know which elements you can quote or any other feedback. In this drawing, it shows that you will need an RF demodulator to HDMI; do you already have these 12 STBs for RF to HDMI conversion?

Answer:
Because if you have not purchased them yet, we might have a better solution. If you already purchased those units, then the 2x 8HDMI-IPCast 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 2) The other option I thought we could propose is using an RF to IP gateway instead of STBs. This is a one RF rackmount unit that can ingest up to 16 RF ISDB-T and all subchannels, 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 ISDB-T 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, power supplies, and HDMI cables from the setup. Otherwise, you can use STBs and the 2x 8HDMI-IPCast Encoders to do HLS.
