Product Outline
The Transcoder BTR-6000, processes SD/HD efficiently based on the high-performance CPU/GPU designed
specifically for IPTV systems with h.264 AVC and additional HEVC/h.265 low bit rate compression. The TV
Services can be converted to a low bit rate (< 600kbps) while maintaining the image quality. It supports IP
re-multiplexing to MPTS and streaming SPTS. The multiple resolution functions can be used perfectly for
multi- screen serving TVs, Smart phones, tablets, PCs, … . The user friendly network management Web-IF
helps to setup and monitor the working status.

Default is: root/12345 or admin/admin
Set the administrator’s computer IP as: 192.168.0.* to avoid IP conflicting with the units own IP
address 192.168.0.103. - Or always shown is the actual IP address of the network management
address ‘Control’ port at the front panel (left) after booting.
192.168.0.*: use an IP setting “*” in the number range 2-254 and except the units default IP.
Remark: .0 is often the network router, .1 often the Gateway of the used router, .255 might be a
network broadcasting address.
Please change these account settings according to your local policy and network. -> Do not forget
to safe and backup the configuration by Web-Interface and its related system-sub-menu.
The encoder can be always set back to factory default settings by using the RESET-swith in Web-IF.

Connecting
The Transcoder comes with 1x Management RJ45 Interface for Web-access and 3 GbE Ports for the
streaming connection:
The USB ports are equipped for future use.
The rear has only one IEC connector for main voltage 110….230VAC.
First login and System Menu:
After entering username and password (root/12345) you should first enter the System menu:
In the System menu you are getting actual status information about the Transcoder and can safe or
import former stored settings, switch back to factory defaults, reboot and Shutdown. Please do not
disconnect power before using the shutdown button here and wait until it will be ready.
Remark: The language selection Menu in the top right corner depends on regions and might be not
shown while the default language is always english.
Initial we should take care about the Network ports now. Please keep always in mind, to avoid IP
address conflicts with your existing network topology.

Network Settings:
Up to 3 x GbE can be connected and selected for IP Inputs and outputs (bi-directional).
Changes can be done by editing the ports:
If DNS addresses are needed, you can add them as well.
Hint: Popup blocker should be disabled in your browser settings.

Selecting Status will popup actual information:
Server-Settings:
In this menu, you can change the http and RTMP ports for streaming to i.e. VIMEO, WOWZA or
catching Http streaming.
IP Input configuration:
Now we start to get some streams in:
Press add- button or insert multiple with the Adds-button:

This is an MPTS. Source IP as well as VLAN
ID can be chosen if applicable. Source IP might be to serve the SSM –feature of your streamer
(SSM=Source Specific Multicast).
We add some more SPTS now:

You’ll get a ‘warning’ if some stream errors occur:
CC errors might come up if the receiver streamer input signal got some input weakness like here

Streams containing encryption Information will be shown as well:
You can PID filter in a later step…

Now that we have some streams coming in we like to transcode them:
Transcoding:
The HDMI/SDI encoding Menu is only for BTR units equipped with either an HDMI Input card or an
SDI Input card (optional). Files adding will be also a future release upgrade.
Different Input methods can be chosen –

Subtitles can be passed or injected:
LOGO’s ad advertisements or simple Text strings can be added to the transcoded Service as well:
After setting up some encodings, later on they can be changed as well.

MPTS:
First off all, you need to setup one or more output streams:
Chose DVB-Mode or IPTV. Than save and you can drag and drop services from the left side (Input
streams) to the new mux:
To edit the content just use the PEN:

IP Backup function:
Add a stream first or here we are using existing ones just to show how it works…
The Reason of this function is obvious?: If a mayor stream input will fail, the backup address will be
used to process it so the output encoding has still content. Usually as an example: If the HD channel
you are transcoding will be interrupted somehow, you create the backup channel from i.e. an SD
source stream.
