Part No. 200-2352 - v1
Quick Start Guide - 784 DVB-S/S2 LAN-Caster
The MediaStar Evolution 784 LAN-Caster allows
DVB-S/S2 TV and Radio channels to be streamed
onto an IP network. Connect a DVB-S/S2 Satellite
dish LNB to the LAN-Caster and use the simple
browser based control interface to stream up
to 15 channels from a single RF multiplex onto
the network. A networked MediaStar Digital
Media Decoder display unit can then decode
these streams and output the video and audio to
an LCD or OLED display. The MediaStar ‘Viewer’
software application can decode the streams
and provide live TV pictures and sound on a PC.
