HD Encoders with HDCP Pro capability
The MediaStar IPTV system has been developed to take legally subscribed, high value, or licensed video content and simultaneously broadcast it efficiently in a compressed, network friendly multicast stream to multiple screens across an IP network using a comprehensive set of management tools.
The MediaStar 798 HDCP Pro enabled encoder will take the protected content from external providers and distribute it to an unlimited number of screens through MediaStar 782 HDCP Pro enabled IPTV Media Players.
AV/IT specifying consultants, design build resellers and systems integrators must inform and educate end customers of several requirements specifically related to the use of HDCP Pro-enabled solutions
Re-Casters & Transcoders
Transcoders allow you to easily convert content into a compatible format for any device at any time. Whether it’s a TV, display screen, computer or mobile device, Transcoders can make sure you’re communicating to the correct audience.
MediaStar’s range of Re-Casters and Transcoders includes:
- 799 IP Re-Caster Gateway: Distribute multiple live IP video streams between multiple remote sites. It can operate over a WAN, VPN, or the Internet using SRT protocol.
- 469 HLS Wireless Live Streaming: Server based software that distributes video media in an HLS format over your wireless network to iOS or Android tablets, phones and BYO devices.
- 700-482 & 700-485 Multi-Stream Transcoders: Provides video and audio format transcoding, stream rate regulation and downscaling across multiple live IPTV streams to enable their controlled re-transmission on to an IP network
MediaStar Media Portal for PC & Mac OS
MediaStar Media Portal pages are created and managed in Media Manager. You can create and name a new Portal page, drag and drop Live Stream and iVOD content to the page then publish it for users to access from their iOS and Android devices or Macs and PCs.
Portal pages can be customised with your own corporate logos and backgrounds. When the page is ready, publishing is a two click process with the page automatically created on Media Manager and available to users.
Images can be used to represent content as familiar icons on Portal pages. This allows users to easily navigate a Portal page and select the content they need. If a graphic icon is not available a default icon representing the type of content will be used.
