It is designed for protocol conversion and streaming media distribution applications. The unit can convert broadcast network IP streams over SRT, HTTP, UDP, RTP, RTSP, HLS, and TS file formats into SRT, HTTP, UDP, HLS, and RTMP protocols.
Additionally, it integrates a full IPTV system with support for VOD (Video on Demand), allowing users to upload content directly using its large internal storage capacity.
In summary, this all-in-one, fully featured device is ideal for small CATV head-end systems, especially in hospitality environments such as hotel TV systems.

Yes, you can use the H-IPTV-GATEWAY-HD as the central gateway/server for a private “Netflix-style” IPTV system. The exact number of streams and simultaneous users will depend on the bitrate, protocols being used, and whether this is running over a private LAN or through the public Internet.
The basic system would work like this:
1. First, the video sources need to be encoded into IP streams.
For example, if you have HDMI sources, you can use our H-HDPerformux-24, which accepts up to 24 HDMI inputs and encodes them into H.264 IP streams over UDP/RTP.
Product: H-HDPerformux-4/8/16/24 HDMI IPTV Encoder
If your sources are already RF television signals, such as ATSC, QAM, DVB-S/S2 satellite, or DVB-T/T2, you can instead use one of our 16-tuner RF-to-IP gateways, such as the H-16ATSC-IP / H-16DVBS-IP. These units receive the RF channels and output them as IP SPTS multicast/unicast streams.
2. The multicast IP streams are then sent to the H-IPTV-GATEWAY-HD.
The gateway can receive UDP/RTP/RTSP/HTTP/HLS/SRT streams and perform protocol conversion. For example, you can take the UDP multicast streams coming from the encoders or RF-to-IP gateways and convert them to HLS for delivery to users.
Based on the application and approximately 2 Mbps per program, typical capacity is:
UDP/RTP/RTSP/HLS/HTTP → UDP: approximately 80 programs
HTTP/UDP → HLS: approximately 80 programs
UDP → HTTP: approximately 50 programs
UDP → SRT: approximately 50 programs
So, for example, you could have 24 HDMI channels coming from one H-HDPerformux-24 and convert/distribute those channels through the IPTV Gateway.
3. At the user side, there are several ways to watch the channels.
For a dedicated television installation, you can use our H-STB-IP IPTV set-top box. It receives the IP stream and provides HDMI output directly to the TV. It supports MPEG-2/H.264 and unicast or multicast transport streams.
The streams could also potentially be viewed with software players such as VLC, computers, compatible Smart TVs, tablets, or custom applications, depending on the protocol being used.
A typical architecture would therefore be:
HDMI / ATSC / DVB-S/S2 sources → Encoder or RF-to-IP Gateway → UDP/RTP Multicast → H-IPTV-GATEWAY-HD → HLS / HTTP / SRT / other IP format → Network → H-STB-IP / Smart TV / PC / VLC / mobile device
For the number of simultaneous end users, we would need to know the expected number of channels, average bitrate per channel, whether users are watching over LAN or Internet, and approximately how many simultaneous viewers you expect. The total user capacity will ultimately also depend on the available network/server bandwidth.
For example, if you have 100 simultaneous viewers watching 4 Mbps streams, the network could require approximately 400 Mbps of outgoing bandwidth when using individual unicast/HLS sessions.

1 SDI HDMI CVBS IP H.264 Encoder Streamer UDP, RTP, HLS, RTMP & HTTP playback
The SPARTAN-1 is an IP streaming device that comes equipped with a single input port capable of supporting HDMI, CVBS, and SDI inputs. It is specifically designed to facilitate MPEG4 AVC/H.264 video encoding and MPEG1 Layer 2, AAC, or AC3 audio encoding, ensuring high-quality video and audio output. Additionally, this device supports a range of popular streaming protocols such as UDP/RTP (Unicast/Multicast), HLS, RTMP, and low-latency HTTP, making it an ideal solution for streaming over local area networks (LAN) or the internet.
