How To Distribute TV
Cable-TV and over-the-air TV broadcasts were once delivered to select areas in an
organization using coaxial cable, TV Tuners, and legacy analog technology. You can
eliminate all that and make live TV available on your existing digital network using
Discover Video Multi-Channel Encoder (MCE) and your DEVOS system. Here is how.
Connect up to six live audio/video TV feeds from TV Tuners and/or "Cable
Boxes" to a StreamEngine (up to 16 HDMI input channels). Use additional
StreamEngines for more channels.
Configure each StreamEngine channel to stream to DEVOS using unique
names, such as "tvchannel1", "tvchannel2", etc.
Create live streams in DEVOS using Live Streams / Create Live Stream, and
enter desired title, description, and other values. Upload or capture an
appropriate image for the channel (e.g. "CNN", "MSNBC", etc.)
For the Live RTMP field, enter: rtmp://[your devos IP]/live/[stream name]. For
example, "rtmp://192.168.111/live/tvchannel1".
For the Live HLS field, enter: http://[your devos IP]/autohls/[stream
name]/[stream name].m3u8. For example,
"http://192.168.111/autohls/tvchannel1/tvchannel1.m3u8
Repeat for each channel.
You can set the security group as desired so that only authorized viewers may access,
and/or establish a password for viewing. Because DEVOS supports mobile, your
supported TV channels are available for viewing on tables and Smartphones.
Note: you can limit the scope of the distribution to only your LAN by simply using
"inside" IP address as illustrated above.
DEVOS can schedule the recording of your TV channels. For example, you can record
a program that airs every day at 9AM, every week at 1AM, every month, or every year.
Program Guides of what is on your local TV channel is readily available from many
online sources.
Note: StreamEngine does not support HDCP.
