The OnRamp DVB-S-S2 8 Tuners/IP™ is a professional DVB-S or DVB-S2 to IP Gateway that inputs a mixture of several satellite transponders and outputs them to an IP network. Resulting streams can be viewed with standard IP capable set-top boxes or streaming video software clients such as VLC or JW Player. It receives DVB compliant streams, demodulates the requested channels, and forwards these channels using UDP or RTP via IP networks as either IP multicast or IP unicast streams. The OnRamp DVB-S-S2 8 Tuners/IP can receive transport streams from one to eight satellite transponders, different satellites, simultaneously. The system supports MPEG-2 input and output or H.264 input and output. Forwarding of PIDs via IP is transparent and does not alter the content of each individual stream. The forwarded streams can be encrypted or unencrypted. Depending on the configuration, it forwards selected programs via IP datacasting; PAT, PMT, video PID, audio PID(s) and PCR information are transmitted. The OnRamp DVB-S-S2 8 Tuners/IP selects all required PIDs and multiplexes the demultiplexed transport stream packets into IP packets.
