Description

Universal Broadcast IRD Decoder

Thor H-HD-IRD series Integrated Receiver Decoders have several applications for decoding program content to broadcast quality video. Equipped with every major video signal output, including HD-SDI, Thor H-HD-IRD units can provide HD video to any display or professional video system. Also available are modern digital audio outputs on both optical Toslink and XLR connectors. Dolby AC/3 audio pass through is standard, and closed caption support for both 608 and 708 captioning systems is present. The V3 platform adds a front panel LCD video display for confidence monitoring, as well as an internal program multiplexer for combining content from both ASI and IP sources simultaneously. The web interface displays all available programs and corresponding PID's. Each program can be independently added to either the ASI or IP outputs.

All selected programs are multiplexed into a single MPTS output. Additionally, the IP output can be configured for up to 32 SPTS single program stream outputs, each with different address and port settings. This allows the V3 system to be used as an intelligent ASI to IP or RF to IP Gateway with add drop and ASI video signal multiplexing capabilities. Combined multi program transport streams carried over IP can also be separated into their corresponding single program streams. The RF tuner can be configured for QAM, 8VSB (ATSC), DVB-T, DVB-C, or DVB-S2 signal sources. Two CAS card slots allow decoded of encrypted programing.

Thor HD-IRD units can be used for converting broadband programing to uncompressed HD video, as well as multiplexing and retransmitting programs to both ASI and IP outputs. Thor HD-IRD systems are a reliable and versatile platform for broadcast program decoding and TS protocol conversion:

There are simplify capabilities of this IRD:

Question and Answers

Question:

I would like to take 2 x HDSDI signals from a remote location flip to IP send over AT&T Internet and Decode the 2 x HDSDI signals at our location to feed our Router

Answer:

We have 2 ways to do it.

First H-NVS3500 is a SDI RTSP encoder/decoder, design to reliable send SDI over the public internet, doesn't requires big bandwidth to do it, just about 3Mbps

You would need to use 4pcs to do 2 Videos; 2 as encoders, 2 as a decoders

https://thorbroadcast.com/product/3g-sdi-hdmi-1080p50-60-streaming-video-server-encoder-client-8230.html

Or the secound option:

1pcs 2 x SDI encoder H-2SDI-QAM-IPLL 2 SDI input IP streams output

Question:

Hello, I m searching for DVB-S2 receiver with SDI output for our client , the CI slot needed. Can you suggest and offer, please? I found https://thorbroadcast.com/t/dvbs-to-sdi and I d like to ask you to send me your best price for the product as many alternatives as you can offer.

Answer:

The only way we can do DVBS-S2 to SDI would be using the H-IRD-V3s IRD decoder.

This is a multifunction device with a lot of different futures, one of them is DVBS-S2 to SDI /HDMI / CVBS video output.

It does have CI slot for the CI card, Common Interface (also called DVB-CI) is a technology which allows decryption of pay TV channels.

The Common Interface allows TV manufacturers to support many different pay TV stations, by allowing to plug in exchangeable conditional-access modules (CAM) for various encryption schemes.

Question:

I have been on tech support with Thor and Axis (Camera Manufacturer) today. The camera is now set up to send a multicast stream and we can see the camera in the multicast group on the network. I don't know how to make the IRD device join the multicast group. The following link is from Axis for this case. They asked that you upload your stream requirements to the case and see if we can make the two devices talk to one another. It probably is a good idea for me to get out of the middle at this point. Would you be so kind as to give them the requirements including what has to be used as the address so that we can make this work for the customer?

Answer:

Please check the attached screenshot for the place where you need to put multicast information into our IRD :

Question:

Would like to ask if you have an encoder/decoder to satisfy the attached SLD

Answer:

We do have a solution for integrated Video encoder and satellite DVB-S/2 modulator

please check these links:

SDI or HDMI Encoder / DVBS-s 2 modulator, that will be installed in your Transmitting Site

https://thorbroadcast.com/product/sdi-to-dvb-s-s2-satellite-modulator.html

On the Receiving side, you can use Sat IRD to receive and decode sat signal to HDMI or SDI

H-IRD-V3S

Please see those links and specifications and let me know if that would work for you

You can use 1 IRD, but you would be able to get video from one or the other encoder or you could use 2 IRD's to receive both feeds at the same time

Question:

Wondering if the ATSC RF input to ASI decoder will allow ALL services from a single 8VSB source to pass on the ASI-TS output. Such as in the case of a translator site with ALL subchannels available in the ASI-TS output.

Answer:

Yes, that is correct. The 8VSB will take the entire frequency and all data within it and output to the ASI.

So if you have any subchannels, data like closed captions etc, everything will be passed onto the ASI TS.

Question:

I wonder if H-IRD-V3 can fit these requirements:

IRD input MPEG4, DVB-S2 satellite.

Which contains a TS with a video with two embedded audios (one in AC3 and the other in MPEG1).

That it can receive the same signal through a TS via IP.

It demodulates and delivers the second audio program into balanced analog audio outputs (it is the signal sent by the radio transmitter). That transcodes the video signal with its associated audio (which arrives in AC3) to MPEG2 to generate a TS with the necessary bitrate for the ATSC signal (19.39 Mbps).

That the processed signal is delivered through two ASI outputs. Basically this is the processing that they require from the IRD to deliver the signal to the MUX (where the ATSC and PSIP tables are inserted) and from there to the TDT transmitters.

Answer:

The IRD works as a Gateway, which means that if the Satellite RF signal carries MPEG4 and MPEG1 or AC3 audio, you will have exactly the same TS on the IP or ASI output with all encoded audios. We cannot transcode it to MPEG2. Basically, whatever goes in will go out.

If the Sat channel has multiple TS's, we can modify it in the MUX setting, but please note that we cannot modify the TS bitrate. Whatever TS is encoded, it will stay the same.

At the same time, we can decode the video and audio to SDI/HDMI/CVBS and Analog Audio. We can only decode 1 stereo audio of your choice. So, even if the TS has, let's say, 1 Spanish + 2 English audio tracks, we can decode one of them.

Since you need MPEG2 video, the easiest way would be to decode that signal to SDI and then re-encode it using an MPEG2/AC3 encoder.

like this one :

Question:

I have a client that currently 30 tuners that are 8 years old or so, and they are looking potentially to repalce them as they currently are having issues with their current tuners. I was looking at this product and it seems like a good fit for replacement. It seems like this unit will produce 2 streams, either IP, HS-SDI, or ASI. Is that correct?

Answer:

We have one ATSC tuner IRD – H-IRD-V3-ATSC or a two-ATSC tuner IRD H-IRD-V3-ATSC-2 available.

The H-IRD-V3-2 is a 2-channel ATSC tuner capable of generating multiple IP/ASI TS streams, which are modulated on two ATSC carriers.

For example, if a channel contains subchannels like 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, we can output all six of them as UDP multicast or unicast IP streams simultaneously, as well as through muxed MPTS ASI output.

However, the unit can decode SDI/HDMI video/audio for only one program at a time (e.g., 2.1 or 2.2), but not both simultaneously, as it has only one SDI/HDMI video output.

Please let me know how the customer is using their existing tuners. Do they output video as IP, ASI, SDI, or all of them at once? I can then recommend the best solution.

Question:

We had another question about these IRD-Decoders. Can any of these units take in both RF and ASI, and output as SDI/HDMI? The idea is to have 2 separate inputs, but to switch between which input to monitor via the output.

I’m also trying to figure out which unit option takes ASI in and can output SDI/HDMI.

Answer:

to Cory

Yes, the device can accept RF, ASI, and IP (UDP/RTP) inputs. The unit will display all the TS (transport streams) from these inputs, and you can select any of those TS streams to decode to SDI/HDMI (the same video will be displayed on both).

So, the answer is yes, you can, but only one TS can be decoded at a time. It can be selected from RF, ASI, or IP inputs.

Basically, you can use the same unit or the second unit and use it for ASI to SDI converter, but not at the same time as an RF to SDI

Please let me know if this is clear.
