Introduction:
The BLANKOM IGS-900 is a high performance and cost-effective SPTS / MPTS IP streamer.
Equipped with 16 DVB-S/S2 FTA (Free to Air unencrypted) tuner inputs, with BISS de-scrambling
capabilities, up to 512 SPST Streamchannels through Gigabit Ethernet ports. Depending on the
installed firmware the device can operate in SPTS (IPTV) Mode or 16x pass through MPTS-Mode (DVB
over IP) by selecting it (device need to reboot if changing).
To meet customers’ various requirements, this device is also equipped with 2 ASI input ports which
selected services can be streamed to the GbE output.
The BLANKOM IGS-900 is also characterized with an high integration level, high performance and very
cost effective. This streamer is very adaptable to new generations of IPTV headend systems i.e. in
hospitality environments serving FreeToAir (FTA) content and BISS encrypted Services.

Quick-Start Installation:
The user can control and set the configuration of the device with any computer by connecting to the
web server-Interface (WebIF) by the 100BaseT NMS Port. The user should ensure that the computer’s
IP address is different from other device’s IP address; otherwise, it might cause an IP conflict. Be sure
to set it in the same network range.
Default Login-Data is 192.168.0.136 (default factory address) are admin/admin:
Note: We recommend using always the newest version of the browser Firefox.
Which lets you start in the STATUS display:
Menu is different in MPTS (see above)
Please select the operating mode for SPTS (default) or MPTS in the Firmware section:

The file can be uploaded by LOAD CONFIGURATION.
The Safe-Restore menu is self-explaning: It internally SAVEs or RESTORE the settings.
Manually reboot and maybe
better to safe the config
first?

Load an external previously safed config is almost better:
Try and error ;-( Reason: We have changed the SPTS mode to MPTS operation and that doesn't
accept the previous safed settings from the SPTS mode. So we go back to SPTS.
Just to show the difference for MPTS –outputs –only 16 IP streams can be assigned. You should
decide wether a stream goes through GbE 1 or 2 so please balance the MPTS streams if more than
800 Mb/s are streamed in total.

Success.
Network Setup:
We assume that the user is familiar with IP settings and already knows his own system to connect the
unit to. If you use the Output Streaming: We recommend using 2 separate Switches! At least a
100BaseT for the Management NMS RJ45 port and a second one with Gigabit Ethernet
10/100/1000BaseT with at least Layer 2+ with IGMP V2 features. Otherwise you might flood your
IP-Streaming network with unnecessary Data, which might overload connected IPTV STB's because
they almost have only 100BaseT capacity (Never ones use 1GbE ports) but too many inputs into a STB
can result in side effects. If you need to select a Switch, we recommend HP Procurve 2530 24G or 48G
which are cost effective, easy to configure, can be trunked and supporting IGMP V2. If the switch
needs routing functions, the bigger brother of this series might be the right choice.
Because to not accidently put DATA and NMS port in the same sub-network, the data –port setting
does not allow this by default. Usually the DATA GbE Ports needing at least own and free IP
addresses- otherwise the Switch or the receivers (i.e. IPTV STB's) cannot locate the source of the
streams.
Note: For the GBE 1 and GBE 2 ports a security mechanism is installed to avoid setting
them in the same IP-range like you have done for the NMS- port.
On GbE 1 the Gateway can be changed. GbE 2 would follow it automatically:

Changing user-account:
Change it to your needs, but do not forget the password otherwise you would need to
reset the unit with the Front-panel RESET switch (press it min. 10…15 sec) to factory
default.

Tuner-Setup:
Using a Multiswitch with more than one SAT-position and > 16 outputs: You can set every
single Tuner Input individually.
Using a SAT-Splitter: Be carefull, active splitter needs at least one 13V…18V DC connection
to it to operate. You should avoid to switch on V/H polarisation Voltage 13/18V on every
Input port. The active splitter would pass the 13V or 18V to the Multiswitch and assigning
the fixed polarisation to the Multiswitch. So all selected Transponders should be either in
Vertical (13V) or Horizontal (18V) position.
Passive splitters should be used with DC Passthrough and the Voltage should be passed
only once as well.
We recommend to check www.lyngsat.com or www.satbeams.org for correct settings.
Example:

We are using a 1-8 active splitter here and so we have to take care, that the first 8 inputs
will be setup to tune the same polarisation and set the first Input to it LOW-Band =9750
MHz LNB-IF frequency (while high-band is almost 10600MHz using 22KHz signal):
The next is:
-> Only 1x 18V supplying is enough by using
the active (or passive) Splitter. Be patient, the unit's WEBIF will take some time to update
the Information:
You can now proceed with the other 16 Inputs.

Following 7 tuner INPUTS at the splitter do
not need DC.
Example to tune to a second Satellite, here with connected Input no. 9 directly to a
Multiswitch w/o using a splitter:
chosing HIGH-Band (the High- and Low-Band are seperated. High band starts at 11700
MHz), 12437 MHz, 10600 SAT-IF, 29900 SBR
SET!

Remark:
We do not recommend to use the Loop-outputs to serve the next RF Input because of it's too
much attenuation. The reception might fail because of a too weak signal input.
Now we have configured 9 of 16 Inputs:
And we can mix with the ASI… so next chapter:
ASI-INPUT(s):
As soon as you connect the ASI IN-Ports:
Now we have configured 9 SAT + 2 ASI Inputs and like to stream selected Services to IP out:

SPTS output Settings:
CA Filter and PidRemap are ON by default.
CA-Filter: If you do not need to filter decrypted unnecessary EMM/ECM PIDs from the
Input Streams, please uncheck them.
Pid Remapping isnt almost necessary for SPTS streaming. In MPTS mode it can avoid
overlapping PID-Re-Multiplex problems.
You need to parse every single Input content by selcting the Input (Tuner/ASI) and PARSE it:

Stream output settings:
by selecting the output service
a popup will follow:
scrolling down:
Proceed with all of them, filter unwanted PIDs, I hope we know what you are doing …
SAVE and Go.
Now its Time to SAFE yourself before your kid is cutting the power source accidently:
Details of the services are shown and can be
partly modified as well as the streaming
addresses and protocols.
The default values can be used, they are
automatically assigned.
The RTSP-streams can be unicast received by GBE1:
rtsp://192.168.2.137:5000/1 … /512 (max streams in SPTS) and
GBE2: rtsp://192.168.2.150:5000/1 … /512 while in MPTS
mode
The single streams are /1 … /16 only, but consider which
output you have directed them to.
