Professional Grade, Rackmounted, Single or Multichannel Linux® Based 8VSB to IP Gateway that Integrates 8 of Our PC Bus Based 8VSB RF Receivers and Demodulates and Routes Selected Transport Streams to Any MAC Address via IP – UDP, RTP, HTTP, HTTP Live, or FTP. Can Work as a Low Cost “Catcher” in Small VOD Implementations. Typically the Desired Streams are Streamed in Real Time Using UDP, RTP, RTSP, RTMP, Adaptive, or HTTP via IP Multicast or Unicast Streams to IP Set Top Boxes (STB's) Such as Amino™, or designated VLC or MPlayer equipped PC clients for viewing. This content server architecture assumes you have proper IP provisioning and this type of system is typically deployed in "closed" systems such as hotels, convention centers, and corporate backbones where bandwidth is dedicated and is used for this purpose only. It is not guaranteed to work over the public internet. Performance depends on available bandwidth.
