Professional Multichannel Linux Based DVB-T to IP Gateway that Integrates PC Bus Based Terrestrial DVB-T RF Receivers and Demodulates

and Routes Selected Transport Streams or a Whole Transponder to Any MAC Address via IP. Optionally Transcodes into H.264 any Selected Transport Stream Program(s) to Any Address Via UDP, RTP, or HTTP. Can Work as a Low Cost Catcher in Small VOD Implementations.

Overview
The OnRamp DVB-T/IP is a professional DVB-T to IP Gateway that inputs a mixture of streams from several TV stations 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 MPlayer. OnRamp DVB-T/IP receives DVB compliant streams, demultiplexes the requested channels and streams these channels using UDP, RTP or HTTP via IP networks as either IP multicast or IP unicast streams. The unit also has the optional capability of transcoding the streams into H.264 format up to a max combined bitrate of 12 Mbps. OnRamp DVB-T/IP can simultaneously receive transport streams from one to four DVB-T transmitters. The system supports MPEG-2 input and optionally transcoded H.264 output. Forwarding of PIDs via IP is transparent and does not depend on the content of each individual elementary stream. 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-T/IP selects all required PIDs and multiplexes the demultiplexed transport stream packets into IP packets. The unit provides PID filtering of all unwanted traffic, increasing system performance and the number of channels, which can be transmitted per unit. Programs can be forwarded (pushed) as transport stream packets via UDP or as RTP (real time protocol) payload (RFC 2250). Pushing can be either unicast or multicast. In addition to push, programs can be forwarded on request (polled) using HTTP streaming. Each individual converted program channel consists of all necessary elementary streams and clocking information to present a synchronized A/V signal.

Note: This system is typically deployed in "closed" systems where bandwidth is dedicated and is used for this purpose only. It is not designed to work over the public internet.
