Outline
STGI-8100B is a flexibly modularized 3U device with the features of Encoder/Receiver, IP Gateway and IPTV Server for the protocol-conversion application and IPTV-system application. It supports max 3 (or 6) pluggable streamer cards embedded, such as encoder card and tuner card to receive the HDMI signals and tuner signals etc. It can also convert the input IP streams from the embedded modules and Ethernet ports over SRT, HTTP,UDP, RTP, RTSP, HLS protocol and TS files into the output IP streams over SRT, HTTP,UDP, RTP, RTSP, HLS and RTMP protocol. It is also integrated with IPTV Middleware and Streamer cards to make it ideal in an IPTV system, such as hotel, hospital and community.
