General information
2.
The transmission of television programs via digital data networks (IPTV) is becoming increasingly important.
Through the use of the so-called Internet protocol, it is also possible to transmit DVB signals via a network
infrastructure.
In order to be able to use IP networks as transmission paths for television programs, the DVB signals received
in the PCU 4131 or PCU 8130 are converted into IP streams and thus made available throughout the network.
Particularly in office buildings and hospitals, the supply of terminal equipment via IP networks, some of which
already exist, represents an elegant solution for the transmission of television programs. For new buildings
and special applications, such as cruise ships, the advantage is that only an IP network has to be set up and
additional coaxial cabling is not required.
Description
3.
The IP Streamer PCU 4131 and PCU 8130 convert DVB-S/S2, DVB-T/T2 and DVB-C signals into IP streams.
The PCU 4131 has 4 input tuners and the integrated CI interfaces enable the central decoding of transmitter
content. The PCU 8130 provides 8 input tuners and is capable of receiving and streaming free-to-air channels
and passing encrypted content for de-encyption by the end user. The input signal is made available
throughout the IP network and can be directly received by PCs / notebooks with appropriate software, IP-
compatible TV sets or set-top boxes (STBs) that support the "DVB-IPTV" standard. The IP Streamer can be
programmed quickly and easily via the web browser user interface. The selected settings can be printed out,
saved and transferred to other devices, e.g. via USB stick. The integrated LAN connection allows remote
control of all parameters.

5.
With the PCU 4131 and the PCU 8130, the signals are fed directly to the input tuners. Due to the triple
standard tuners, there are 4 or 8 inputs for SAT signals and 4 or 8 inputs for terrestrial signals (DVB-T/T2 or
DVB-C). The SAT inputs Tuner 1 and Tuner 2 are equipped with an additional 12 V DC voltage for LNB
supply. The units are supplied with this activated. The supply can be activated/deactivated by jumpers J1 and
J2 respectively. A 12 V supply voltage for the terrestrial range can be applied to Tuner 4 by plugging in
Jumper J3. The operating states are indicated by LEDs.
Likewise, the SAT input tuners 1, 2, 5 and 6 of PCU 8130 are equipped with a 12 V DC voltage for LNB
supply. The units are supplied with this activated. The supply can be activated/deactivated by the
corresponding jumpers. On tuners 4 and 8, a 12 V supply voltage for the terrestrial inputs can be delivered by
plugging in the corresponding jumpers. The operating states are indicated by LEDs.
